Elkano's BuffBars
EBB provides groups of statusbar style indicators to show (de)buffs currently affecting your char or some other units (currently focus, pet and target). For the player, it can also show indicators for temporary enchants place on it's weapons.
Due to changes Blizzard made with WoW 4.x it's no longer possible to cancel buffs without the use of secure frames. Currently EBB limits canceling of buffs to out-of-fight since using SecureAuraHeader would have required a major code restructuring. This will be coming in a later version.
Version 2.x is a total recode based on the Ace2 framework which became necessary in order to support some of the longtime wanted and suggested features. It's now possible to show different groups of bars which can be configured in many ways. Each group can be assigned an individual look and filter settings. EBB can be configured via a dropdown menu which is accessible via chat (/ebb config), FuBar plugin or (for the group settings) by right clicking the groups anchor. After setting up a group, its anchor can be hidden by alt-left clicking a bar or the anchor itself in order to lock the group in place.
In order to get additional bar textures and fonts for EBB simply install SharedMedia which is available for download under http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-addons/details/sharedmedia.aspx

Posted Jan 23, 2008Hello, Elkano
You have created an awesome addon. Really, I enjoy it a lot.
I have only one question: is it possible to setup some filter which will show only my debufs?
For example - when fighting some boss I see all debuffs from warriors, rogues etc. I turned them all off and leave only priest's DoTs like SW:Pain. It helped a little, but not completely. The problem is that in raid we have normally 2-3 shadow priests and as result I see their dots as well. So is it possible to show only my own dot's/debuffs?
Regards

Posted Jan 24, 2008The API doesn't tell whose debuff it is so no, not directly. But iirc it will return the timeleft only for de/buffs you applied so you could try to filter timless de/buffs.
Besides that you could look into addons like Chronometer that are especially intended for such a task.

Posted Jan 20, 2008I really love this addon and there is no other other addon that is even close to being that awesome.
So I am getting really frustrated when the addons sometimes just stops working. Sounds weird but the bars just stop counting down and it doesn't add any buffs.
Then sometimes it starts to work 5min later, sometimes not. Does any1 know how to fix this? I don't know if it matters but I am playing on a mac.
btw. this is whats saying as the only error in ebb:
Error: attempt to index field 'Rlines' (a nil value)
File: ...ddOns\ElkBuffBars\libs\Gratuity-2.0\Gratuity-2.0.lua
Line: 62
Count: 6
@omgitsdaryl
here you can change width and height of a group:
/ebb config --> Group Settings --> Group X --> Bar Layout ---> Height / Width

Posted Jan 17, 2008Thank you Elkano for your wonderful addon. But since I installed my WoW again and updated my addons, I'm not able do deactivate the buffs from the blizzard ui. Do I have to put some settings in your buffbars? Thanks for helping.

Posted Jan 18, 2008It's caused by some other addon you're running that reshows these buffs if it isn't set to hide them. So check your other addons.

Posted Jan 11, 2008Heya Elkano :)
First of all, thanks for this addon, I can't live without it. I appreciate your hard working.
As there are a few addons, which shows spell/item cooldowns as bars, but I would love to use Elkano's CooldownBars, which would look like BuffBars, so could there be a variation later perhaps?

Posted Jan 7, 2008Is there any way you can have the buff bars display timers for shaman totems, my only complaint. i love this addon none the less but would be sweet to see timers in the buff. thanks

Posted Jan 9, 2008Since the totems themselves aren't buffs this data isn't available, especialy not via the buff API. So no, EBB doesn't display these. But there are some other mods that do.

Posted Jan 9, 2008ya i seen those other ones, but to be honest don't really like any of them lol closest one was one that has bars much like EBB but it would just be one more thing on my screen. also i just recently noticed, not sure if it existed pre 2.3.2 but "timeless buffs" dont FILL up the buff far it goes to about 9/10 but i can still see the background color. its not a spacing option (i checked) it just simply doesn't show the bar FULL (i changed the color of the bar and the background color as well if that helps) other than that, love it love it love it

Posted Dec 19, 2007i love this addon!
however, i can't seem to ignore the fact that sometimes the debuff status bar would come off as blue instead of red, with a red background color still. and it irritates me sometimes to glance at my buffbars and think that i dont have any debuffs i need to be aware of.
what can i do to fix this?

Posted Dec 20, 2007debuffs are colored according to the debuff type by default: magic is blue, poison green, deseases yellow and curses purple. if you don't like that simply disable it in the settings for the bar group:
Group x -> Bar Layout -> Bar -> Debuff Coloring
