tukui - sorting party/raid by name

[nauren01]

That is Tukui.
It has unitframes/actionbars etc build into a single addon. (www.tukui.org (http://www.tukui.org/)) to check the ui out.

I tried out tukui (thanks howster) and I am really happy with it.

Just one think I cannot get to work: Is it possible to sort the party/raid names by names? That would be a requirement to use it for healing with repeater regions and clique.

Howster, you are using grid - so I am assuming there is no tukui cpability for that?

I intensively searched the tukui forum - the point has been raised 2-3 times, but never got answered. So I wanted to check here first before putting it on the wishlist in the tukui forum.

Grid is a part of Tukui, you need to use the HEAL part rather then the DPS, and enable GRID in the config.

I dont Grid use it because I couldnt work out how to arrange them how I wanted. I use Healbot instead altho I cant see debuffs on my main (warrior) so have to keep looking at the other slave windows.

Everyone... calm down...

thank you for the replies !

@Fenril - thanks, that's what I am using atm. My hope was not to have to use grid, but instead a function in the native tukui gui.

@Kris - I have seen the heal layout and yes, it contains a grid like view that you can permanently activate in the confi.lua. But this is just looking like grid, its not the actual grid addon, right? I am looking for the function that GridCustomLayout gives, "sort=NAME".

tukui is actually built on oUF, not Grid, but the look alike :)

To do what you want you have to install GridCustomLayouts or hack the tukui code & insert sortMethod="NAME" in the appropriate places.

I did this on the t11 code but ran into a problem where the current toon still appeared at the top of the list. I will see how things look once 4.0.1 is live...

Your Welcome :)
What i also like about it is its very light and uses low memory.



Just one think I cannot get to work: Is it possible to sort the party/raid names by names? That would be a requirement to use it for healing with repeater regions and clique.Never really tried to do so. But dont think it can sort by names. Grid cant do that either unless you install an addon for grid to toggle it. (GridCustomLayout]

The main reason I use normal Grid aswell is to mainly heal with my guys and see if they get an raid debuff on them. With isboxer's repeater region i always toggle the KVM mode so i dont target the party/raid memeber i need to heal while i tank. But i also want to click to target a raid/party/bg member to inspect/trade etc without having to disable the repeater region and then reconfiguring it again.

thanks Howster - I like your set up and will also go with grid (hope they upgrade it to 4.0.1 soon).

At first I thought the redundant group bar is waste, but like you said, you actually need it with kvm. With the tukui dps layout on it doen't take much space anyway.

[howster]

Np. But they have an 4.0.1 upgrade out. Actually several versions already. They started working on ver 12 already when cataclysm beta accepted addons.(verson 11.56 or something was pre 4.0.1 only). Only thing atm that annoys me a little is the debuff list on targetframe gets big. Then the icons covers some chars on my Grid frame so its hard to see if i need to heal or not.

And btw, I always use the Heal layout, not the dps frame, because the mana bar is easier to see with the Heal layout. Handy to see if my guys need to drink or not :)

Does GridCustomLayout still work ? with 4.0.1 I mean, it doesn't seem to work anymore. At least when I tried last night.

Nope. Not atm atleast. Same goes to Grid. Might need to get a different addon to heal with now :(
Most likely Vuhdo i guess

[deadca7]

I changed from Grid+Clique to Vuhdo yesterday. After some configuration I can't tell that much of a different, and I only need one addon instead of two.

This is how my Vuhdo looks now, almost the same as my Grid did.
And My 5man boxing is sorted the way I want on every toon. Yey

I'd love to have my five toons displayed in one column (or row).
Fixed positions, for use with Repeater Region healing.

But to then have the other twenty toons appear in their own columns/rows, when in a raid.
Ideally a 5x5 frame.

Have not been able to figure out how to do this with Grid + Grid Custom Layouts.

Anyone know if this is possible with Vuhdo?
I've heard you can use Tank Frames, to display the same names on each, and in the same position.

[Toned]

Just make the switch ... Vuhdo... you won't regret it.

Yes custom panels ftw

[howster]

That would be nice in battlegrounds etc

Gris works now - you don't need GridCustomLayout (someone should update the basic guides).

Just edit "GridLayoutLayouts.lua" in the Grid main folder and replace "INDEX" with "NAME" - voila, it works.

[Ualaa]

I'm using:

ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE;NAME
1,2,3,4,5;5/5;NAME;NR

Actually, in the place of ToonA through ToonE, I have every one of my active toons listed (36 names in all).

The first line, is column 1, and is sorted alphabetically by name.

The second line sets groups 1-5 to be shown.
And they will be displayed in 5 columns across with a maximum of 5 names per column.
The sorting is also alphabetical, by name.
And finally with NR, nothing that has appeared previously will appear elsewhere.

Ah.. didnt know that.. I noticed that Grid came out for 4.01 tho but wasnt able to arrange names... and if i do some bg's i would like a windows with only my own chars in it so i can easily heal myself rather that searching through all groups etc.
Yep, wiped alot in av last time with vuhdo because i could not heal fast enough :(

Cool... what could solve my problems tho, but wont it take up alot of space on the screen?.. i run tukui and it has a "Grid" feature aswell.. so tukui will show up all members in a bg (lets say AV). so thats 40 players displayed in my main ui.. Then with this setup the actual Grid will alswell take up 40 slots + my own chars.. barely got any screen left if thats the case .. If i remove the tukui's grid then i would not be able to target player's (or myself) to trade stuff/inspect either since the kvm part of repeater regions will disable the mouse that part of the screen.
