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

In reply to Elkano:
I'm still using your addon and it works for me. Thanks!
In reply to Elkano:
Playing Warlock in the PrePatch and seems the whitelisting is missing debuffs such as Agony and Corruption. Are you planning to do an update or can we add these ourselves to the code? Thanks
In reply to SHOWT1M3TV:
The settings for black-/whitelist only show spell effects/auras you encountered that session. So engage an enemy or a target dummy and they should show up (unless something changed with the patch, wasn't able to test, yet).
In reply to roweboy1974:
It works fine in the Shadowlands beta if you add
at the end of the CreateFrame calls in EBB_Bar, EBB_BarGroup, and ElkBuffBars lua files, just before the closing bracket.
In reply to OttoDeFe:
Wish I knew enough to do this. I am looking at the files using Note++ right now but cannot figure out where to place that additional info.
In reply to Johnny_Utah71:
Search for the string createframe and then change
This line is 538 in the ElkBuffBars.lua Ignore the </br> Dunno why they're there.
In reply to OttoDeFe:
Thanks for taking the time to explain! I'll work on this tonight and see if I can get them working.
I would like to be able to set a specific MAX number per row on buffs / debuffs. When the value is reached, it will continue on a new row.
Best regards
Hi - please can you help me with this! I would like a way to display the bars even when my buff has run out (like it can be grayed out). Right now if a buff drops off, the bar disappears.
That way if I have 15 buffs, and I see one buff isnt ticking anymore and is grayed out, then I can easily see which one needs to be applied (vs seeing 14 bars ticking and then not having any ideas which buff is missing).
Please help! Thanks. Fantastic mod BTW. Always loved it (used it in TBC).

Some please help! Thanks.
Hello. Just downloaded and am currently setting up the add on. I seem to have a "Blessing of Demonstration" at the bottom of all my groups. Is there a way to get rid of this?
In reply to odellegeren:
It will show while the group is in configuration mode (cog wheels in anchor bar) to allow you to configure the layout for empty groups.
So just turn of configuration mode for the groups (via config menu or alt-click on a bar).
Hey! Thanks for providing this cool addon, love it!
Im looking for an option to have the buffbar filling from bottom to top. What i mean is having the anchor on the bottom and then all the debuffs piled on top of the anchor.
In case im missing it in the options, i wish it would be implemented as a feature. Thanks :3
In reply to Forge_User_45857211:
The "grow up" setting for the group should do the trick.
Hi - this was my go to mod many many years back. Glad to see its still going!
Questions before I download it:
1) Can you select which buffs you want to see and which not?
2) If a buff expires, does the bar remain up there and just be black (vs disappearing). That way you can easily see, "hey, Im missing Fort", and get it reapplied (vs manually trying to remember 16 buffs and trying to remember which blue bars are missing).
Thanks!
In reply to modsforall:
1) there is whitelisting (i.e. only show these auras) and blacklisting (don't show these auras)
2) it will only show active auras, so even if you are using whitelisting, it won't show those missing.
Love your addon Elkano!
The new 'debuff' in Horrific Invasion shows at debuff group for me, but not as the others with a bar, but with some Icon.
Not remember it's name now, will look for it next time I am in.
Can you check why is it not shows as other debuffs?
Debuffed called (maybe more)
Madness: Bloodthirsty
Madness: Desynchronized
Madness: Promised Power
Madness: Dark Delusions
Madness: Entomophobia
Madness: Leaden Foot
Madness: Split Personality
Can you please set them to the debuff group?
For me normal debuff zone is middle top screen where this Madnesses put by default, overlapping each others.
Thank you so much,
Kobor
Good evening.
I just returned to the game after seven years away (2012) and one of the first addons I re-installed was this one. This was always one of my must-haves! Anyhow I am experiencing an annoying issue, but it's nothing serious; every time I reload the UI or log out and log back in the Group 2 (Debuffs) bar keeps re-entering configuration mode and I always have to uncheck it to make it go away. It doesn't seem to be saving that particular state (Configuration mode - unchecked).
Is there anything I can do to resolve this? Looking back and reading other comments here it seems Elkano hasn't replied since late October of last year; would anyone else know how to fix my issue?
Thanks.
In reply to Mark_in_AJ:
I checked the saved variables file for this addon and all three group buttons do show configuration mode = false so I don't know why I am having the issue I wrote about up above.
I'm having two problems:
1. How do I change the alpha of the bars depending on conditions such as combat or time left?
2. I've created two sets of bars for each buffs and debuffs. I filtered based on de-/buff lengths, as well as the timeless options. Testing with Exhaustion revealed that the correct settings are: [Group 2 (combat debuffs) - blacklist timeless, Max.Timemax 30s][Group 4 (long debuffs) - Min.Timemax 30s]. As soon as I also whitelist timeless for Group 4, it breaks and will not show any debuffs with duration at all - effectively banning Exhaustion from both groups.
3. Minor issue: How do I move groups in the options, so that the buff groups are together, and the debuff groups are together?
Edit: I chose to replace Elkano's with Raven. It offers the same functionality with a lot more options. The downside is complexity - Raven does not have a good or intuitive options menu and is a bit of a drag until you get the hang of it. But it pays off once you do.
