Quest Log Header Expander

A small World of Warcraft addon that adds an expand/collapse all button to the quest log, so you can open or close every zone header in one click instead of only getting the zone you're currently in.

Built for World of Warcraft Forever using the retail UI API. Interface version 16001.

Features

Toggle button next to the quest counter: + All expands every zone header, - All collapses them.
Configurable startup behaviour, applied each time the map/quest log opens:
- Default: Blizzard's standard behaviour (only the current zone is expanded)
- Always collapsed
- Always expanded
- Remember previous state
Right-click the button for a quick context menu to change the mode.
Options panel under Options → AddOns → Quest Log Header Expander with the same setting.
Resizes the quest log search box so the button fits alongside it.

Installation

Download the latest release from the releases page. Don't use "Source code (zip)", as it has the wrong folder name.
Extract it into your Interface/AddOns/ folder so you end up with Interface/AddOns/QuestLogHeaderExpander/.
Fully restart the game (Required for first-time run).

Or

Download or clone this repository.
Make sure the folder is named QuestLogHeaderExpander (it must match the .toc file name).
Extract it into your Interface/AddOns/ folder so you end up with Interface/AddOns/QuestLogHeaderExpander/.
Fully restart the game (Required for first-time run).

Your folder should look like this:

QuestLogHeaderExpander/
├── QuestLogHeaderExpander.toc
├── QuestLogHeaderExpander.lua
└── README.md

Usage

Action	Result
Left-click the button	Expand or collapse all zone headers
Right-click the button	Open the mode context menu
Options → AddOns → Quest Log Header Expander	Choose the startup mode from a dropdown

Configuration

Settings are stored per account in the QuestLogHeaderExpanderDB saved variable:

Key	Values	Description
`mode`	`default`, `collapsed`, `expanded`	Default quest log header behaviour when the map opens

Troubleshooting

Search box isn't resized / button overlaps it The search box is created when the map is first opened. The addon retries on quest log updates until it exists, so open the map once and it should adjust.

Settings don't persist Make sure that you have fully logged out/in or restarted your game.
