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 Dec 16, 2014Like I wrote one comment below, too, you need to have seen the (de)buff this session for it to show up in the lists.

Posted Dec 3, 2014Is there any way to modify the Whitelist? I created a custom bar for my frost mage in which I would like to display my current IF stacks and the remaining duration of my Icy Veins and Time Warp. The IF stacks work great, but unfortunately Icey Veins is not an option in the whitelist configuration and I don't see any way to add it there.

Posted Nov 26, 2014Hi,
Attempting to apply a fishing lure in 6.03 Warlords content produces the error below. Looks like it may be coming out of EBB.

Posted Nov 26, 2014Should already be fixed in the code; I just forgot to promote the files from alpha to release.

Posted Nov 11, 2014In config mode, I am unable to bring up the drop down menu using the groups config bar. Which obviously I need to be able to do to config each group of bars. Please help.

Posted Nov 11, 2014With the switch to Ace3, there no longer is configuration via DropDown. (Reminds me, that I haven't updated the addon description, yet :/ ).
However, the bar group options have always also been accessable via the larger config dropdown which has now become a panel. So simply access it either via the minimap icon/data object or by typing "/ebb".

Posted Nov 9, 2014Is there a way to setup a flash warning when something is removed off the bar? Like if a buff expires a raid warning will flash?

Posted Nov 11, 2014Try MikScrollingBattleText. All types of warnings you may or may not need!
Just have to configure it.

Posted Nov 5, 2014To any no-gap enthusiasts here!
If you want to remove the terrible gap find "local function getTimeFormatCondensed(timeAmount)" in EBB_Bar.lua and change "return "%.1fs", seconds" to "return "%ds", seconds". Save the file!
Open the addon's menu and choose Condensed time format for all your bars.
It no longer shows tenths of a second and there's no gap!

Posted Oct 20, 2014I've updated to the current version and looks like everything is fine with bar positioning.
But I'm getting this nasty bug making the addon kind of uselees since I can't see buff/debuff durations.
updt: it can be 'fixed' by choosing time format again.
Found this little bug (is it even a bug?) though.
'Blizzard Default' time format.
<script charset="UTF-8" type="application/javascript" ></script> <script charset="UTF-8" type="application/javascript" ></script> <script charset="UTF-8" type="application/javascript" ></script> <script charset="UTF-8" type="application/javascript" ></script>-

Posted Oct 20, 2014The gap is no bug from the addon since I just call a Blizzard function to format the output in that case (SecondsToTimeAbbrev).
However, you wrote earlier that your last version was r167 (pre MoP). In r168 I changed the time formats so the one you used before is no longer available, which also explains the ???.
