# 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`.
<!-- Add screenshots here, e.g.:
![Quest log with the +/- All button](docs/button.png)
-->
## 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**
- **Right-click the button** for a quick context menu to change the mode.
- **Options panel** under *Options → AddOns → Quest Expand All* with the same setting.
- Resizes the quest log search box so the button fits alongside it.
## Installation
1. Download or clone this repository.
2. Make sure the folder is named `QuestLogHeaderExpander` (it must match the `.toc` file name).
3. Copy it into your game's addons directory:
```
<WoW install>/Interface/AddOns/QuestLogHeaderExpander/
```
4. Fully restart the game (or at least fully log out/in). This is required for a 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 Expand All | 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.
