BetterExtraActionButton
With the 2.0 update, you will have to readjust (possibly reset) the position of your button. The saved position has changed to the center of the frame since it can now show multiple buttons. Sorry!
Makes the ExtraActionButton used in instances and quests and the ZoneAbility button used for Garrison and Covenant abilities moveable.
For all the various boss fights and quests with an extra power bar that pops up check out BetterPowerBarAlt
There is no config. Right click on the area around the button to make it movable, then drag it to where you want and right click again to lock it in place. While it is unlocked, you can also use your mouse wheel over the frame to adjust it's scale and reset it back to its default scale by pressing the middle mouse button.
The clickable area to lock/unlock the button is the artwork surrounding the button, not the button itself. While unlocked, the artwork is shown and you can use it to drag the button around.
You can skin the button with Masque and you also have the option to turn off the background artwork with /beab togglebg.
/beab toggle to show/hide the frame so you can move it around.
If you find the frame some place it shouldn't be, you can type /beab reset to move it to the center of screen.
Also, if you're having issues with the button moving around or ignoring changes, look at some of your other addons to see if they have a setting for positioning it.

Posted Jun 23, 2022Hey,
For some reason, Masque won't skin the Zone Ability Frame. There don't seem to be any errors either.

Posted Dec 21, 2020I don't add any bindings for them, no, however it looks like ZoneAbilityBinding does what you want

Hey! I tried /beab reset (how do I format it like you do???) but it gave me the same lua error. Then I did /beab toggle and /beab unlock and dragged it from below my character to above my character, locked it, and reloaded. No error then! Thought you might want to know.

Posted Nov 18, 2020I finally got around to updating this. ExtraActionButton and ZoneAbility are both managed by the same container, so both are now positioned by this addon :D

Posted Nov 15, 2020I did the Icecrown daily that is up (sorry, can't remember name) where you kill mobs until you fill a bar, then get an extra action button to fire at a mob. When I pressed it, I got this error.
1x [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] AddOn 'BetterExtraActionButton' tried to call the protected function 'ExtraActionBarFrame:Hide()'.
[string "@!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua"]:519: in function <!BugGrabber\BugGrabber.lua:519>

Posted Oct 27, 2020Could you please support the zone ability button? MoveAnything recently "solved" an issue with both of these buttons by completely removing and ignoring these frames, so now I have to deal with these again. I don't want to drag the zone ability to my bars. The way I had them was aligned to the right of my bars, zone on the bottom and extra on the top.
Edit: You seem to be having similar issues with the extra action button. It won't move. I simply reverted MoveAnything for the time being.

Posted Aug 29, 2018Hi all!
Does make sense for each game character save a personal configuration at the one account?
I think NO!
For make the one default configuration just edit file "BetterExtraActionButton.lua" and change:
replace
local key = (UnitName("player")) .. " - " .. GetRealmName()to
Thank you.

Posted Aug 17, 2018Long standing problem with this addon, if you get in or out of a vehicle during combat, the action bar flips out, keeps doing the animation swapping between regular and vehicle bars and you can't do anything until you /reloadui or exit combat.

Posted Aug 19, 2018Not sure why you'd attribute that to the extra action button. I've certainly never experienced anything like that.

Because it only happened with this addon enabled :) Glad to see it updated though since ExtraActionButtonMover is busted.
