WoWPUGBuilder
Description
WoWPUGBuilder is an AddOn which is intended to help players advertise, in various chat channels, that they are looking for players to join their group. It allows the player to select the roles (Tank, Damage, Heal) they need to fill the group, what Dungeon, Raid, Battleground, or Zone the players is looking to do , as well as what chat channels (Yell, Trade, LFG, Guild, and General) they wish the message to be sent to. The players can then click on the "Advertise Now" button to send the message immediately. The player can also choose to toggle the AddOn to send the message automatically every 90 seconds. Currently, this is a bare bones attempt at this concept. Future versions will expand upon what is currently available as well as add additional features.

Below you will find the version files for WoWPUGBuilder. I will be storing the current and previous version of WPB on this page in addition to those kept at CurseForge.
WoWPUGBuilder v1.0: the Final Cut!

Version 1.0 of WoWPUGBuilder has been uploaded to Curse.com. I'm also working on a WoWPUGBuilder Archive page that should mirror what's available through CurseForge, ya know, just in case they drop off the face of the earth. ;) Version 1.0 is essentially the same as version 0.9b except i cleaned up my documentation (read on for some details) as well as tweaked a the code a bit to improve readability and logic flow. Overall, working on WPB has been a great experience and I am looking forward to continuing it's development.
WoWPUGBuilder v0.9b, Spam... Tastes Great!

This week I updated WoWPUGBuilder to version 0.9b on Curse.com. In 0.9b I've added a feature that allows the player to indicate what interval, in seconds, they would like the auto-advertise feature to advertise their message to the selected chat channels. I also fixed a bug that was preventing the player from selecting the "Looking for Group" chat channel in the "Choose Channel" drop down menu.
WoWPUGBuilder v0.8b, LFG... I mean LFM!

Version 0.8b of WoWPUGBuilder has been uploaded to Curse.com. This new version of the beta adds a LFG/LFM toggle checkbox at the top of the AddOn's window. This allows the player to switch between auto generated messages Looking for Group or Looking for More. By checking the box the AddOn will generate a message with LFM and by leaving it unchecked it will generate a LFG message. If the player has quantities entered in the role edit boxes, these will be omitted from the auto generated message until the toggle box has been checked. I also fixed a bug where if the player customized the generated message and then hit enter, the custom text would be replaced by the auto generated message.
WoWPUGBuilder v0.6b, Multiple Chat Channels

A quick note about v0.6b, which I uploaded to curse a few weeks ago. Version 0.6b implemented the ability of the player to select multiple chat channels to which to send their desired message. This was done by reverting to an earlier format for drop down menus. To select multiple chat channels the player simply pulls down the Channel menu and select the desired chat channel. The player will do this for each channel they wish the message to be displayed. For a look at the function, read on...
WOWPUGBuilder v0.5b, A New Look.

Well I'm almost there. The 0.5 version of the WoWPUGBuilder Beta has been uploaded to Curse. Version 0.5 Beta is a fully functional version of WPB and those that download it should be able to use it as intended. There are still some features that I am intending to implement before the final release, most of which should be implemented in the near future releases.
WoWPUGBuilder 0.5 Beta Almost Done

I've finally finished the redesign of the user interface for WPB. Unfortunately, I was unable to figure out how to get a multidimensional drop down menu to work so I settled for multiple drop down menus rather then waste any more time trying to figure it out. You can see the final UI design in the following screen shot...
WPB Development Continues

WoWPUGBuilder (WPB) development continues. In the latest version I've gone back and pretty much re-written the code for the drop down menus. I wanted the UI look and feel to be more in line with what a drop down menu should look like rather then a regular push button. As you can see from this screen shot...
WoWPUGBuilder Beta Released @ Curse Gaming

I've been neglecting this site for the last few weeks but I have been busy. This week I finished up the beta version of WoWPUGBuilder. You can download the AddOn at the Curse Gaming website (also see the CurseForge webstie).
