I noticed yesterday that you can shift click an buff and if the chat edit box is open, the buff name gets inserted there.
This got me thinking of a possible workaround around for right-clicking the buff off. Right-clicking on a buff icon or bar could generate /cancelaura <buff name> in the chat edit box and all that is left to do for the user is to press enter.
I'll hack my local copy of EBB tonight and see if this is actually workable.
local activeWindow = ChatEdit_GetActiveWindow();
if ( activeWindow and activeWindow:IsVisible() ) then
activeWindow:Insert("/cancelaura " .. self:GetDataString("NAMERANK"))
end
give me the dreaded ElkBuffBars ahs been blocked from an action... message when I press enter.
The best I can do is to press enter (to open the edit box), type /cancelaura , Shift-click the buff to get the name and press enter.
I don't know why it works if I type the /cancelaura instead of having EBB paste it.
BTW, EBB still use ChatFrameEditBox
The following code should be used for the left-click:
if button == "LeftButton" then
if IsAltKeyDown() then
self.parent:ToggleAnchor()
elseif IsShiftKeyDown() then
local activeWindow = ChatEdit_GetActiveWindow();
if ( activeWindow and activeWindow:IsVisible() ) then
if self.data.untilcancelled then
activeWindow:Insert(self:GetDataString("NAMERANK"))
else
activeWindow:Insert(self:GetDataString("NAMERANK").." - "..self:GetTimeString(self.timeleft, self.layout.timeformat))
end
end
end
That's an interesting thought LaoTseu, if there's a way for it to be done and if Elkano is willing to run with it. I have always loved EBB but the protection on buff removal has left me very wary of continuing to use it. In fact I originally was going to post about whether that new protection made updating the addon further, worth doing at all anymore. But I saw it had already been updated and so just decided to read the last few pages of this thread to follow the discussion.
EDIT: You type even faster than I do Lao... yeah, sorry to hear about it. Thanks a lot Blizzard, even if you DID have good reason it's still a PITA. :p

It's not. I already tried it. You still get a "protected action" error, and can't even press Enter to submit/clear/close the edit box. I considered various ways to work around this popping up a dialog that users could copy text from to paste into the chat edit box by hand, for instance but they all seemed too cumbersome to be worthwhile, especially in combat.
anyone know why i cant see ebb work. i just installed the latest one and for some odd reason its not showing me anything and stock buffs keeps coming out after a reloadui. its kind of frustrating say the least.
EBB is a great addon. It replaced Sorren's Timers in my heart but... Is it possible to change the color of every single bar? I want to know at a glance whether a specifical buff/debuff is up without confusing it with all others of the same color.
The tracking stuff that was removed with the 4.x patch didn't work straight away for me tho, but I went into the SV and removed the tracking options and it works great.

Give the specific buff/debuff its own grp and anchor that grp to the normal grp and you can set the colors as you please
Don't know if you've already read the tread on wowinterface regarding clicking off buffs but I thought I'd throw it in here in hopes of this addon just getting that "tad" better ^^

Random question, sorry. I right clicked on the EBB button near my minimap and disabled the addon, and it has completely -vanished- from my UI. But my standard UI buffs didn't return. EBB isn't in my list of Interface options, I can't find a slash command to bring it back up. I tried searching here, and Google, and I can't find -anything- telling me how to re-enable it.
Help?
I was just trying to temporarily disable it so I could remove one of the Costumes from Hallow's End. >_< I know, this is an issue that is being worked on (I think) so I'm not posting about that. Just... not sure how to re-enable it again.
Thank you. I tried that, but it didn't list an option to re-enable it. However, it gave me the clue to try /ebb, which brings up a list of options including "/ebb standby" which let me re-enable it. :)
Good Morning,
I downloaded r157 version and now the ranged weapon buff shows up. Yet if I change the poison on my weapons (ranged or melee), the new buff is not showed, the old buff still stays on screen and doesn't disappears when it reaches 00:00 duration.
Reloading UI solve the problem.
Thank you!
it would be possible to add ranged weapons poison to the TENCH group?
Thank you for fixing EBB for 4.0.1!

Curse PremiumOh... my bad. I just realized that EBB was set to download only on release. I'll test the current version from now on.

Your variables may differ!

The problem is that method don't work with the custom sorting and filtering EBB uses.
Help?

I have a question, is there any way to track Holy Power "stacks" in EEB?
