I seem to be having an issue in raids with the vehicle bar. Before I last updated my mods the vehicle bar would automatically take over as action bar 1 when I mounted. Now it doesn't,. The pet bar changes but the numbered primary action bar doesnt change. When I'm ungrouped however it all works fine.
Any idea what the problem is here?
It just doesn't work in raids? Thats weird. You wouldn't be using some weird custom conditionals?
I kinda blame Blizzard, if it works ungrouped and you don't use any funky custom conditions, its probably their bug.
Okay, i dun know anyuthing about teh custom conditionals for hiding/showing bars so ill just ask.
is it possible to set a bar to only show when doing Sartharion?
No, the conditionals are exactly the same that you get for macros, and there are only very generic conditions, nothing specific to "one boss" or "one zone", sorry.

This functionality can be Faked with an addon, but i would think it beyond the scope of Bartender.
Faked as in, it runs through the logic checks when you change zones or enter an instance. Then if your in the right zone it infers that if your going into combat that it is with the desired mob, and sets the combat conditionals for you when you zone in. But again, doing that i would presume is beyond the scope of bartender.
I have my Bar2 (that i dun use at all normally) set to 1 button and HUGE scale for a macro (/tar tank /cast guardian spirit /w nextdudeinline "Ur next saving the lazy tank") when doing 3D.
Found another caveat to not being able to anchor/grow to/from the center. I can't use the same profile on all toons because some of the stance bars have less buttons than others so the bar doesn't look centered on those toons. :p Though I guess I could hack the SV file and only use a separate profile for that particular section. >.<
I have never had an issue with this mod before until the latest update. Since then, every time I log in, the bars on every character have moved to the middle of the screen. All other settings and hotkeys save, but not the bar position. It doesn't matter what I do in game, it all reverts back from the second I log out. I would appreciate some input! Thanks!

Is your Saved Variables file maybe write-protected? Did you try changing any other settings in Bartender, and see if they "stick"? Not hotkeys, but anything in the BT options.
If nothing helps, try deleting the Bartender4.lua in your SavedVariables directory, and set it up again.
If it still doesn't save then, something is really wrong.
Thank you so much! My computer had flipped on read only somehow, and it's all better now. I can now resume my playtime and alt-hopping without going completely insane! :D I just feel stupid for not thinking of it myself!:p
I use Bartender4-4.2.6 an I have a problem with the Traveler's Tundra Mammoth.
The buttons for pushing the two companions are shown shortly in the pet bar, when I use the Mammuth. After that, they vanished immediatly and I can't push them.
But I can't play without Bartender, it's impossible. ;-)

Can you tell me, what I do wrong?
Uncheck the "Hide on vehicle" option for the Pet Bar.
Just as a warning, though, Blizzard changed how those vehicles work in the upcoming 3.1 patch, and those buttons will be gone then. You'll have to right-click on the mount-position-graphic that usually appears below the minimap to eject the vendors.
I seem to be having a bad day...
I used to have Bar 1 showing constantly, set to Paging and Bar 2 hidden except when I hit shift and it worked (though I set this up ages ago for a different toon).
Now as a healer, I am trying to set it up so I always only have 2 bars showing... BUT one set of 2 bars for soloing and a different set of 2 bars for groups/raids etc and yet another 3rd bar hidden somewhere for professions and I'd like to be able to toggle to different sets of bars depending on my situation.
Now I can get bartender4 to do this, problem being is all the icons are then identical and if I remove/change an icon from one bar, it removes/changes them from all the bars.
Help please!
I don't have any bars for my spells, as they're all set up using Bindpad ( I don't need to see them to push them..), and thus my bar1 is just for pots and novelty stuff.
So far so good.
Then I hop on a vehicle and it's all downhill from there.. I have no keybinds, and manually have to click skills to use them.
Any ideas? Could one possibly choose what Bartender bar for being the one swapping out with the vehicle bar, and then having all my spells keybound to that and hidden, and then having it only pop up when I used a vehicle?

Am I at all making sense here? :P

You'll need to have one bar with the bindings 1-6, and simply enable "Possess Bar" for this bar in the options. If you have your bindings set totally random on buttons, there is no way you can get the vehicle bar to steal the bindings.
You'd think with vehicles being such an integrated part of the game ppl would spend as much attention on them as they do on the other parts of their UI.
Probably because it's Blizzard that's giving vehicle UI that treatment. There are improvements coming with 3.1, but Blizzard hasn't given addon developers the tools needed to make a decent UI for vehicles.
Bartender supports vehicles the best it can. If you just don't have a bar with keybindings on it that you can use for the vehicles, i can't help you.. :)

Quick q on vehicles, when doing malygos, is there any exit button for the hoverdisk? Couldn't seem to find one.

Perfect, thanks a lot. And thanks for the warning, too. :)

I don't feel like adding a hotkeybar that I really don't need, other when driving a vehicle, to my UI.

Why the red-headed stepchild treatment?
Probably because it's Blizzard that's giving vehicle UI that treatment. There are improvements coming with 3.1, but Blizzard hasn't given addon developers the tools needed to make a decent UI for vehicles.
