for a rather long amount of time my bEQL hasn't been working as intended, my options say "always open maximized" but it doesn't at all open maximized as if my quest log doesn't have this ability at all, my FramesResized Questlog is set to nil and I can't think of any other addon causing this problem.
I don't know if there is a way to list all addons except for writing all the folder names down manually (400 folders) in my deuceCommander I have only 3 "quest" addons, questannouncer, BEQL and GrindStatus...
Love your addon!
edit:
There was an option called "Simple Quest Log" after disabling it + reloading the interface it fixed itself, how embarasing. :) maybe the tooltip should indicate it's the "standard" questlog, or maybe even say "you need to reload the interface for it to apply / go away.
yaryarikh:
show compelete notification and play sound is named "Info on quest completion" in the questlog options
mouse over info is something different: if an item is a quest item it displays in its tooltip what the questname is and howmany are still needed (for mobs too)
Uncontrollable:
In the past bEQL forced to enable "Simple Questlog" if FramesResized were active, now it checks for the FramesResized option for questlog instead of the addon, but i think u had the old version too which turned off the questlog.
In Simplequestlog there is no way to minimize/maximize the questlog coz its the Blizzard questlog without any modification...
I really like this mod, my only request would be an option to, instead of "Hide completed quests", "Show title only for completed quests". I like to show completed quests in my log so I remember to turn them in, but I don't like to see the objectives.
Right now I can "Hide completed objectives" but that option removes them as I'm questing (which I don't like), or "Remove completed quests", but that option hides the title as well so I forget to turn the quest in. In the old EQL there was a 'middle-ground' sort of option like this, which was the way I liked best.
This may be a big confusing, so I'll show you a mock-up to demonstrate what I mean and how it's different from the current modes. In this example I'm using red/green for uncompleted/completed objectives and yellow/blue for uncompleted/completed quest titles: http://junk.ionmine.com/beql.png
Support for qComment or duplication of it's features, could probably use the weekly database build with the author's permission.

Don't know if wow api supports the last request but here goes anyway:
There could be an option to scan and populate quest history based on what quests have been done previously. Generally the quest history addons tracks quests from the moment you start using a quest history addon. With a 70 char which hasn't utilized a quest history addon I can't remember what quests I have done and what not.
Given that the quests are pretty much catalogued in wowhead and other sites, a list of quests (names or ids) could be datamined and the history could be built from ground up based on the datamined list. I know if one tries to share a quest and someone has completed the quest there's a feedback text reflecting that.
If all quest api functions are based on the current quests in log, I guess this can't be done - I lack the knowledge but someone here is bound to have the answer about the feasability of this feature.
@Redbeard:
Lightheaded and Mobmap are supported (im using them with beql too :) )
ill check qComment too
and for the quest history thing:
yepp im planning to add a quest history viewer or quest list viewer which could be accessed from any of ur characters,
in wowapi u have no functions to get quests which u did in the past, so the only solution is that u already wrote to build a db from the completed (or taken too) quests using the addon, sad thing there is no way to retrieve the past quests (before u used the addon)
building a quest database is a very memory consuming action too, so i would only stick to storing only minimum info (a quest title, lvl, status: completed/abandoned etc and when, rewards choosen ?), and for using a quest db with descriptions and infos where to go/which mob to farm/what item to collect etc are already many mods out there...
What I liked about qcomment more than Lightheaded was the automatic map markers for quest objective locations - I see that Lightheaded now has this option as well - except it's manual and requires TomTom by the same author. qcomment was only ever made to work with nQuestlog but if it can be extended to work with bEql it would be a definate bonus and people can choose to mix&match their quest addons. Generally I think the more a quest log addon has synergy with other quest-related mods, the better it is.
I agree about keeping the quest history viewer data small - you could hook up mobmap's quest database lookup from history viewer though as you could then see the full description with rewards and all. I tend to help lower level characters with their quests (which I probably have done a loong time ago) and it's a great help and timesaver if I can check the quest out and the other person doesn't have to explain the quest fully.
Thank you for picking up this addon, loved the old EQL.
I've used Quest_Fu since EQL broke for me and gotten used to seeing quest objectives and completions from my group mates (I usually do the daily quests together with my spouse and it's nice to see we're on track with the bombings in Ogrila for example) ;)
I do however prefer the bEQL tracker and everything else about it, and somewhere I got the notion that it's a lib that handles the announcing part as I've seen this from other ACE quest addons as well. Is it something that could be added to bEQL also?

This would be sweet indeed! And it would be nice to have an option to show quest status in the tooltip
However, I can't seem to get profiles to load from other characters. I can select them under the "Profiles" section of the options pane, but none of the settings seem to get brought over.

ill check this how it works and how could i implement this...
added to my todo list :)
saltorio: default profile is shared between the characters, and dont even try to copy the default char profile to other character as only the QuestTracker list is stored there.
U must first switch to use the char profile as default, copy the settings there, then u can setup different profiles for different characters...
i hope i was clear :)
Seems to be a problem with this mod and cartographer_quests though - all Qs show up as gold !'s (like available Qs) even active ones (should be silver ?'s). Though I'm not sure what mod would need to be fixed. Clearly the two mods aren't communicating well.

Awesome! Thanks bayi, bEQL is now the perfect questlog mod for me :P

thanks
Anyway, I would like to add a feature request...
1. The ability to color the quest titles in the tracker the same as they are in the questlog (reg, green, yellow, gray, etc...)
Thanks for picking up this much used mod...
