Issue with 3.0.1 and 3.0.0 of faction friend. When mousing over certain items in inventory it will lock the interface. Thorium widget was the culprit tonight. With no addons loaded tooltips are fine. Loading only faction friend causes a lockup on mouse over . I have wiped the cache and retested. I have deleted the addon and reloaded both versions. Perhaps there is something else I am neglecting? Thank you for your very useful addons. Feed-O-Matic has been in my arsenal for a long time now.

Love this addon, however, I’m not a fan of the new ’smiley-face’ interface. At least on my screen, the green color for Honored and Revered is indistinguishable. Also, as I was looking more closely for this post, I realized that some of the reps were displaying incorrectly. In ref to the pics below, notice the difference in the Shattrath City factions in the BC reps, and the Alliance factions in the Classic reps.

Thanks so much for this addon, it’s a great time-saver.

I use one and only one other faction addon, while using this one, for just one feature. When I gain rep, the addon (called WonderRep) will tell me how many more of the same rep gain I have until the next level. This is useful for questing, mob slaying, and battlegrounds, because this addon already covers how much faction turnins will give quite perfectly.

Would it be possible to add a 'gains to level' chat message? Then I can remove that other addon. =D

There's no way for FactionFriend to hook into things such that it'd "just work" with every replacement reputation bar addon out there, and I don't have time to individually add (and more importantly, maintain) support for each one.

However, FactionFriend does publish a stable API that other addons can hook into -- it provides not only all the info a reputation bar addon would need to show estimated reputation from turnins, but also the text for a tooltip breaking down turnin details. Authors can look at the API NOTES section of FactionFriend's readme.txt file.

Hi there, I’m using the Bartender4 addin, and while it replaces the default bars, it does not show the default XP bar. I have started using XPBarNone as a replacement, and it somewhat works with your addon(ie faction switching), but it does not show estimated rep after turnins. Is it possible for you to make your addon work with XPBarNone, or should I be asking that author to support your addon – or can you suggest a different XP/Rep bar addon that does work with yours?
