Broker_Portals
Why would you have actionbars filled with portals, or open your spellbook everytime you cast a portal? Just right click on icon or minimap button and you can access all portals so comfortably.
It is designed as DataBroker plug-in, that lets you access all portal and teleport spells from one spot. Addon will be attached to minimap by default, but if you want to move/customize it, you will have to install additional addon like TitanPanel, HidingBar, or Bazooka and there are many more.
Features:
- All mage portals, hearthstone and teleporting items available from simple dropdown menu
 - Minimap button, so you don't have to install any additional addon
 - Hearthstone location and cooldown in tooltip
 - Reagent count in tooltip (for Cataclusm Classic)
 - If hearthstone is on cooldown, Scroll of Recall will be used instead if possible
 - Can announce, that you're casting a portal
 
Localization:
If you'd like to add/update localizations, do so here. Then leave a comment on WowAce or on Curse as I'm checking those more often than localization app itself, and I'll repack it.
Bugs / Suggestions:
If you have encountered any problem, or if you think theres something missing. Feel free to post a ticket here.
FAQ:
- I managed to hide my minimap icon, how do I turn it on again?
- Just simply type "/portals".
 
 - Does it support teleportation items like engineering teleports or Kirin Tor rings?
- Yes.

Ancient Tome of Teleport: Dalaran and Ancient Tome of Portal: Dalaran
These bring you to the crater of old Dalaran.

Could you please take a look and add the two new mage portal spells to Vale of Eternal Blossoms as well as Wormhole Generator : Pandaria to the drop down window?

Posted Sep 9, 2012Your mod (as of v1.8.27) generates a bug for lower level mages because of how GetBookItemName works now (it no longer return nil if a spell does not exist or is not learned yet, it will throw an invalid spell slot exception instead).
You may want to change your UpdateSpells() function to use IsPlayerSpell before calling findSpell to check if the player does have the spell.
Use something like:

Posted Sep 11, 2012Yea that's the one. As I said, it's because they changed the behaviour of GetSpellBookItemName(index,type) from returning nil to throwing an exception if there's noting at that index. Using IsPlayerSpell(spellid) before calling findSpell(spellid) fixes that problem (and would also probably fix anny spell removal problems in the future).
PS: in this post, spellid is the global identification of a spell and not the spellbook's index of that spell

Posted Sep 5, 2012Ah, I have to admit I don't use the minimap button, I use the broker button. I didn't even realize this addon had a minimap button..lol. Figure that's the whole point of having broker_ addons: less minimap buttons.

Posted Sep 7, 2012I also run it from Bazooka LDB display and its the same. Try right click the broker button continuously and watch the portal frame expanding for each click.
