Yeah, StatBlockCore (a.k.a. StatBlocks2) is the re-write of StatBlocks but with a twist. It uses the new LibDataBroker to display it's plugins! The power of LDB plugins means it gives you, the user, choice of what display addon you want to use, even if it's not StatBlockCore!
A few of the plugins that currently work with SBC are the Broker_* addons, the StatBlock_* addons (StatBlock not StatsBlock) and also the little hack known as FuBar2Broker.
Use this thread for bug reports/feature requests directed at StatBlockCore and StatBlock_ plugins.
- they are working without any problem: FactionsFu, GrindStatus, SpamSentry, RegenFu, DailiesQuestTracker, nQuestLog, BugSack,InnBoundFu, ItemBonusFu, TrainerFu, AuldLangSyne, Nauticus, MailFu, TimerFu, ClosetGnome, SkillsPlusFu, MoneyFu (maybe GroupFu too, but I wasn't in party while testing)
- they have blocks but don't have thier appropriate text: TopScoreFu, AuditorFu, ItemSync
- they seems fine, but I'm not sure: Whats, Historian, Altoholic, TradeskillInfo, Checklist2, CastYeller, CCBreaker (I didn't break any CC while testing), ZOMGBuffs, MagicMarker, oRA2, BigWigs, Grid, Big Brother, ChatAlertsFu, Dr. Damage, RPHelper2
- they are attached to the minimap and don't have their blocks: Procodile, Omen, ax_RaidStatus, RBM, Whisp, nShakeDown, RockConfig
- they don't have any blocks: ClockFu, DurabilityFu, HonorFuPlus, DPSFu, BagFu, BankItemsFu, EmoteFu2, ExitFu, MSBTFu, PlayerInFu, PTReagentFu, RestFu, ScaleFu, SpeedFu, VolumeFu, WhoRollFu, WorldPvPFu, PawnFu, AuctionsFu2, BattlegroundFu, ItemPriceTooltip, PT3Browser, InventoryOnParFu
Yeah, I know, that's a lot of plugin :P (I still don't know which one caused the error message I already posted in the other thread)
Requests for StatBlockCore:
1) The ability to enable/disable the display of BrokerObjects. (A lot of my addons supported fubar, so Fubar2Broker is picking up everything and the kitchen sink. I only actually want to see about 3 of them displayed.)
2) The ability to have just an icon that I can click on with no text. Right now, the icon hangs off the side of the block, making it hard to access the click abilities.

"Launchers" are a different broker spec entirely, SBC is desgined for the "data" spec. Fubar2LDB should make that distinction if it is not already, and you should use a display specifically for launchers unless SBC decides to support that spec.

Pirex- I notice I cannot actually "click" on the Fubar2Block created block, even though the tooltip says I can. Right click works to bring up the menu, left click does nothing, even with the block "locked"
Only happens once on login with the main error. The left clicking seems weird.

As far as I know, the clicking is an issue with FuBar2Broker, can you update to the latest version and tell me if you still get the error?
The Fubar2broker and SBC combo seem to be working together much better now.
Edit:
Right-Clicking QuestAnnouncer after it's been collected gives this error:
Interface\AddOns\Fubar2Broker\FuBar2Broker.lua:251:Dewdrop-2.0:[Debug Mode] 'handler' ("(unnamed)") method "IsShowDebug" not defined
Also, clicking collected addons doesn't ...well... do anything, and I can't figure out how to sort what I actually want collected. >.>
Ah, and the icons are still offset from the text with most addons. Except QuestAnnouncer and Oneview, oddly enough.
Not sure what you mean by clicking collected addons. Use your mousewheel and change the width of the block, then the icon will be closer.
The error has gone away. Although - now I am getting double text on most of the statblocks - for instance the latency is 200 msms instead of 20 ms. I erase the text in the config, the MS goes away fine, I add ms back in and clikc OKAY and I am back to 200 msms.
Durability is doing this too as well as several others.

Clicking them isn't opening them. Even right clicking them for the occasional drop-down isn't working for me. Clicking/right-clicking Atlasloot gets me nothing, right clicking wardrobe2 gets me a menu, but there's nothing to select only the input box to name a wardrobe, etc. That may just be me, I'll give it another looksie tomorrow, after sleepin! =D
I will resize the boxes next time I log in though, thank you. =D I'm knackered though :3

This is currently a plugin problem not an SBC problem which I hope we find a solution for soon. If not, I'll just make separate blocks that work properly.

I think this is more general FuBar2Broker randomness :/
You explained 2 kind of plugins, StatBlock(s) belonging to SB1, without the (s) belonging to SB2, so far that's fine but then there is a third kind, if you search at Broker in any updater there is a list of plugins available like pvp, sysmon etc etc, what is it about ?
About features request/bugs reports:
- i've noticed (with those broker plugins) once they are stickied there's no way to split them.
- Broker SysMon: could it be possible to have a Tooltip with addons memory usage and a switch to display addons usage without blizzard's ones.
- Broker Clock: a tooltip with the date like: Wed, 7.9.08
- a plugin like Folks
- a plugin like Money.
Of course if those Broker plugins belongs to SB2, else ignore this :)
A folks and money block are in dev by me and will appear later today, I didn't make the broker plugins but they are designed to work with SBC ofcourse. There is a slight problem on debate at the moment and the result of that debate will decide if I end up making a separate sysmon plugin, because of the way it's formatted (in my opinion) incorrectly. (labels appearing twice). I will add the tooltip to either one.
well i'm trying to understand this all, hopefully can get some clarification, and hopefully the answers will help someone else out:
1. sb1 plugins do not work with sb2 right? if thats the case then i hope the remaining sb1 plugins are converted over to sb2.
2. libdatabroker lets you run sb2, broker, and fubar plugins together in one panel without the need for fubar as a dependency?
3. if fubar itself will no longer be a required dependency to run fubar plugins, then i would think that someone would have to remove fubar from all the tocs here on wowace, or updaters would still end up pulling down fubar and rock libs.
4. libdatabroker seems pretty beta atm with users reporting problems with fubar plugins.
1) Yup, but you can run SB1 and SB2 at the same time with no problems whilst the conversion takes place.
2) Yeah
3) It is mistakenly put in many toc's a a required dependancy which is wrong.
4) Yeah, over time things will get better, the Lib itself is pretty solid, is just the transaction from old methods to new methods.
I am trying to use the Broker_Tracker mod with SBC. It displays just fine, but no sort of mouse clicking will bring up any options to change the tracking. Works presently with Fortress.
I know there are still many things being hashed out about the standards for the broker lib. Just reporting issues as I see them.
4. libdatabroker seems pretty beta atm with users reporting problems with fubar plugins.
Pending any bugs found, LDB is done, finished, gold.
Issues with fubar plugins are completely due to FuBar2LDB, which itself is a nasty hack. The fubar plugins simply need to be rewritten to use LDB, and someone needs to write an addon that will render LDB plugins on FuBar (unless FuBar is rewritten to explictly support LDB).

2. Sort of Correct. SB2 allows you to use SB2 and Broker. FuBar2Broker pipes FuBar mods to SB2 or some other dsplayer such as Fortress.
3. That is your choice to use a downloader... so ya things will need to be converted... but See answer 4.
4. Id say its more of .... FuBar2Broker was made as an interium for legacy fubar mods untill someone converts them to broker.
2) Yeah
3) It is mistakenly put in many toc's a a required dependancy which is wrong.
4) Yeah, over time things will get better, the Lib itself is pretty solid, is just the transaction from old methods to new methods.
