Key Bindings!

[Longarms]

Census Plus causes my WoW client to freeze for a few moments whenever I open the Panel. The first solution I came upon was to write a macro (/census+ take) and bind it to a key to take the census.

Kinda of a waste of a macro space though...

So... solution #2...

create a file called Bindings.xml in the CensusPlus folder

Code: Select all

<Bindings>
	<Binding name="Take Census" header="CENSUSHEADER">
		CensusPlus_Take_OnClick&#40;&#41;;
	</Binding>
	<Binding name="Stop Census">
		CensusPlus_StopCensus&#40;&#41;;
	</Binding>
</Bindings>

Around line 60 of CensusPlus.lua insert the following:

BINDING_HEADER_CENSUSHEADER = "Census Plus";

That's it. You now have the ability to set Key Bindings to start and stop Census in the Key Bindings menu!

Also, you can right click on the mini-map icon to Take/Pause/Stop a census =)

[Longarms]

If I click it, it brings up the Census UI... which, as I said, freezes the game for a few moments.

Right-clicking the minimap icon shouldn't bring up the UI, but instead show a simple menu =S
Left-clicking it however will bring up the UI.

That is of course if your mouse is setup on the right side of your keyboard and your mouse buttons are not reversed =P

Yeah, the right click menu was brought in to combat that exact problem of the UI freezing for a few seconds, especially if your lua file is big. The keybinding thing isn't a bad idea though too, if you have a spare key that isn't already bound to something else

All sorts of ingenuity

[Longarms]

Didn't know about that. Still, a hot key is faster. I can (and have!) started a Census in combat, for example.

[xpolockx]

Yeah, to each his own I guess, thanks for making it available
