About WoWPUGBuilder
WoWPUGBuilder is an AddOn which is intended to help players advertise, in various chat channels, that they are looking for players to join their group. It allows the player to select the roles (Tank, Damage, Heal) they need to fill the group, what Dungeon, Raid, Battleground, or Zone the players is looking to do , as well as what chat channels (Yell, Trade, LFG, Guild, and General) they wish the message to be sent to. The players can then click on the "Advertise Now" button to send the message immediately. The player can also choose to toggle the AddOn to send the message automatically every 90 seconds. Currently, this is a bare bones attempt at this concept. Future versions will expand upon what is currently available as well as add additional features.
Near term improvements will include:
expanded instance list, including both 5 man dungeons and 10/25 man raid instances.Done
- auto invite via /tell channel
auto advertise interval settingDone
- general UI improvements
Possible future improvements and features:
- LFG tool integration
- Calendar integration
- Player List for keeping tabs on players you may or may not want to invite to your PUGs
A FuBar pluggin is available for WoWPUGBuilder, written by Ninjaslurpy, and is available here: http:wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/fubar_wowpugbuilderfu.aspx
- Updated Interface to 40000

The latest version (1.1.1) updates the #interface so that the AddOn is "compatible" with the latest version of WoW (4.0).
Please continue to offer suggestions and provide bug reports if you encounter them. Also, if there are people out there who would like to work on this addon with me, please feel free to send me a PM.
Thanks and Enjoy!

It's good but could be improved, and I'll be switching to your addon for good! :-)
Look at Nekrid's LFM:
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/nekrids-lfm.aspx
What he's doing better is allowing you to manually type the pre-text (LFM VoA10 Classrun), the post-text (Link ach!), AND text in parenthesis next to each type of character, such as tanks: "pref paladin" which shows up as "2 tanks (pref paladin)".
Now, even though his method is better, it can actually become EVEN BETTER, by having click-boxes or edit boxes under each category, where you can do:
Tanks
[1] Paladin [1] Warrior [0] Druid [0] DK
Which would generate "2 tanks (warrior+paladin)".
This last suggestion WILL make the addon harder to use if it's not further thought about and streamlined to make it easy to use. So for now, just implement his pre-/post-texts and parenthesis systems (the "2 tanks (pref paladin)" stuff).
Sincerely,
The Jew
Likewise, your dropdown boxes for selecting instance, etc, are not actually useful, since that forces the user into a specific way of naming the instances that takes up a LOT of space. If you are proud of it and want to keep it then at least make a "Custom" option that gives you a textfield where the instance dropdown normally sits, to enter text in.
You may also want to divide DPS into Ranged and Melee DPS, since many fights require a certain amount of melee and ranged. However, this last thing can be solved when you implement the "sidenote" support for each field, so you could do "10 DPS (5 ranged)" as note.
Member counter right inside the UI, which works like this:
You select from a dropdown how many members you want in total, ie 25 man, 40 man, 10 man, 5 man.
This value is then checked live by taking you (always counts as 1), the sums of all needed tanks/dps/healers (ie 2+17+5 = 24), and if you are in a party or raid, the total count of members there (ie 0). It then goes 1+24+0 = 25 and shows "25/25".
Why? Because it's extremely helpful when trying to keep the totals in sync.
Someday way off in the future, you could also make it so that it auto-detects people joining raid/party while the WoWPUGBuilder frame is open, and if they are a PURE dps class like Rogue or Hunter, it subtracts 1 from needed DPS automatically. In all other cases, it pops up a window: "Someguy, 80 Human Priest. Role: [ DPS ] [ Healer ]", where you click the button that is appropriate (the buttons would be intelligent so that it doesn't show Tank for classes that can't do that, etc), and it lowers the corresponding counter. A DK would give you the options of DPS or Tank, etc.
If you do this autocount of roles, you'll become the next "Gearscore", the addon that is so helpful that everybody uses it. ;-)
Thanks for your help,

This is the last version for the beta. Please feel free to post all your issues with WPB and let me know if any bugs are discovered. As of 0.9b, WPB will be released as you see it here so long as I don't discover any problems. Between now and the release of v1.0 I'll be cleaning up the underlying code so that it exhibits better readability as well as a more logical flow/better coding practices.
Here is the official Change Log and Known Caveats...
WoWPUGBuilder v0.9b
-----------------------------
***Change Log***
* Added an edit box, labeled "Interval (seconds)", which will allow the player to indicate the Auto-Advertise interval in seconds. The default interval is set to 45 however the player can now enter any number into this edit box. The AddOn will then use that number to determine how often to advertise the desired message.
* Fixed a bug where the player could not select the "Looking for Group" chat channel using the "Choose Channel" drop down menu.
***Known Caveats***
* The auto-advertise message feature will only work when the interface is showing. If you hide the interface, the auto-advertising stops.
* The player must edit the generated message after they have adjust any of the role quantities or changed a drop down menu item otherwise the customized message will be replaced with a new auto generated message.
* There are no restrictions placed upon player as to the desired interval entered into the "Auto-Advertise Interval" editbox, allowing for the possibility for this feature to be abused by spamming a message in as little as every 1 second.
