[Fogyreef]

With only ElvUI core and Jamba loaded JambaTeamIsOnline is spamming in chat once every two seconds.

Using latest ElvUI and Jamba 5.1.2. Ideas?

Untick "jamba team always online" under the core communications module

[Fogyreef]

Did that earlier, thanks. Any other ideas? I'm out.

Try going under Advanced - Core:Communications and updating the Channel Name and Channel Password on every toon. Push the settings and log everyone out and back in.

Nope. Spams to the new channel.

Created channel and password 2.0, and the chat window is not subscribed to the channel, yet on it goes, every 5 seconds.

ElvUI folks say it's not on their end, but it's only when ElvUI and Jamba are loaded that Jamba spams.

So, does Jamba normally spam that information into the nether every 5 seconds for any channel that is subscribed to it?

If so, it makes sense that ElvUI is disregarding the don't subscribe to that channel part, but why such selective disregard?

Edit; Hmmm, another clue is that the spam is disregarding the custom color I chose for it, matching the General channel color.

Can you copy and paste (here) the information that is being spammed? (So I can identify where it is coming from.) With that I might be able to help you?

FYI:

The channel under /jamba -> Advanced -> Core: Communications has one and only one purpose. That purpose is to track which toons of your team are online. Each toon joins the channel you have configured upon logging in. Jamba polls that channel every 5 seconds looking at the list of characters subscribed to that channel. If a toon is in that list, then Jamba assumes the toon is online, likewise if the toon is not in the list, Jamba assumes the toon is offline.

However all this is unnecessary if you check the box that says "Assume All Team Members Always Online", as the channel checking is skipped. With this option, if a character isn't online, you get spammed "No player named '<toon name>' is currently playing. Regardless of whether this option is on or off, Jamba still tries to connect to the channel.

For me personally the point is now moot as I've uninstalled ElvUI. It's a good UI, until you get as many addons as I use. Jamba is now back to performing as expected.

The message was something akin to [JambaTeamIsOnline] teammember1, teammember2..., teammemberN, just as you described. Something about ElvUI's chat interface is intercepting it.

If you need me to test, I still have the current WTF for that installation. Just let me know.

[Jafula]

Okay, thanks for the heads up that you have uninstalled it. If I get a chance I'll install it and see if I work out what is going on.

I use elvui and jamba together with no issues, a comparison of some settings might help. I have the all the default settings under the dps setup for elvui. I've moved a few frames around but I doubt that would change anything related to chat. In jamba I have the entire team listed and assume team online UNchecked, I've changed the default channel name and password and of course pushed all settings. Every team I have uses the same settings aas I often run with other guildies for boosting and whatnot and this keeps it simple. I can probably post a quick breakdown of every setting and how I currently have it configured if it would help.

Betty, have you ever installed the Chat Tweak 2nd party addon for ElvUI? If not, then that becomes the number one suspect. I had that installed, but it had some bugs with the alt names feature so I deselected it. It might have gotten its mitts somewhere it shouldn't have.
