If people wonder why Kameril stopped working on this addon.

The explaination is right here in the newest article:
http://risen-guild.com/

Kameril was a member of Risen, for those who didn't know.

Enough offtopic for now.

Hey if anyone is willing to take up the reigns for this revolutionary addon i'm more than willing to make a donation.

This is correct.

Where was my donation? =P
Unfortunately, I've yet to have a single offer to take over the project. I would've really liked to see it continue. On the bright side, it's unlikely it'll break any time soon and it works fine on 2.4.

Modding has been the only thing that has kept me playing since I tried to quit a year or so ago. The game itself is boring.

^ Same thing with me. As for Dock, I hate to see it not being developed anymore, however I completely understand why it isn't. If any bugs due come up in the near future, I will probably squash them since I count on Dock so much. I also do not see very many bugs in it to begin with to be completely honest. lol

It's a pity that Dock will not be updated anymore...

I use this addon for one week and I love it.

But I can understand that, from your point of view, Blizzard isn't doing you a favor.

So hopefully someone else will pick this project up.

Does anyone have any insight on how to Dock the minimap if I'm using Chinchilla? I get the following message when I try, "Dock: Couldn't dock frame [Minimap] because it's secure. Frames such as unitframes or action bars are secured in combat and would cause taint if docked."

Dock's wiki page shows, in every screenshot, the minimap Docked. Has something changed in the API to make the minimap a secure frame since the wiki page was created?

Did you unlock it in Chinchilla?

Yes, I even get the message when Chinchilla is disabled.

Very interesting. With Chinchilla disabled (at the character select screen), the minimap cannot be Docked. Remove Chinchilla from the addon folder and the minimap can be Docked.

Do you plan to make it work in 3.0.2?

This version SHOULD work with current version.

Tabs Ferature is still broken.

I've added a few option i needed for chatframe zoom, and started to look at the localization.

I've also found something regarding the tab problem, but i could use some help (never done addon coding before, and dock doesn't strike me as simple...)

function DockClass:UpdateTab()
        local tab = self.Tab
        if not tab then
            return
        end
        local db = self.db.profile
        if not db.AllowTabMode then
            return self:RestoreFromTab()
        end
        tab:SetFont(MediaHandler:Fetch("font", db.TabFont), db.TabFontSize)
        if db.TabOrientation == "Vertical" then
            local label = "" --not called often enough to worry about garbage
            for letter in self.Name:gmatch(".") do
                label = label .. letter .. "\n"
            end
            tab:SetText(label)
            local fs = tab:GetFontString()
            tab:SetHeight(fs:GetHeight() + db.TabSize)
            tab:SetWidth(fs:GetWidth() + db.TabSize)
        else
            tab:SetText(self.Name)
            tab:SetHeight(30)
            local fs = tab:GetFontString()
            tab:SetWidth(fs:GetWidth() + db.TabSize)
            tab:SetHeight(fs:GetHeight() + db.TabSize)
        end
        
        tab:SetTextColor(unpack(db.TabFontColor))
        tab:ClearAllPoints()
        tab:SetPoint("CENTER", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", db.TabX, db.TabY)

        do
            local backdrop = db.TabBackdrop
            local bg, edge = backdrop.bgFile, backdrop.edgeFile

            backdrop.bgFile, backdrop.edgeFile = MediaHandler:Fetch("background", bg), MediaHandler:Fetch("border", edge)
            tab:SetBackdrop(backdrop)

            backdrop.bgFile, backdrop.edgeFile = bg, edge
        end

        tab:SetBackdropColor(unpack(db.TabColor))
        tab:SetBackdropBorderColor(unpack(db.TabBorderColor))

        tab:SetMovable(not db.Locked)
    end

The SetFont call always give error. Since tab is a button it should work...

I comment out setfont and settextcolor and all works properly, just no tab labels, so something is screwed there, I dont know enough either to fix this.

mmh... a graphic button wouldn't be right...
Maybe ill try asking in in the code forum.
Has anyone any means to contact Kameril?

Link Removed: http://www.mediafire.com/file/yj52mj2tmd1/Dock.zip

it works now, but it wont change the font:

--Old code
tab:SetFont(MediaHandler:Fetch("font", db.TabFont), db.TabFontSize, nil)

--New Code
tab:SetDisabledFontObject(_G.GameFontDisable)
 tab:SetHighlightFontObject(_G.GameFontHighlight)
 tab:SetNormalFontObject(_G.GameFontNormal)

When i have time i'll try to ask why is this happening
