Removing social icon from chat window

[Eommus]

Hi,

I found the following code which hides the social icon from the chat window, but the icon comes back after you log off/on.

/run local b = QuickJoinToastButton b:UnregisterAllEvents() b:SetScript("OnShow", b.Hide) b:Hide() UIParent:UnregisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")

Is there a way to make it so that it will be hidden permanently?

Thanks.

Yes, turn it into an addon with http://addon.bool.no/

Get Prat, the best chat addon.

Show class colors in chat, copy links, etc. Of course hide the social menu

Can anyone say what the following is used for in the code I mentioned in 1st post?

UIParent:UnregisterEvent("UNIT_AURA")

Is it necessary for this task?

Ohhh thank goodness for these suggestions.

It's not necessary. I'm guessing someone took that part from HideOrderHallBar

Thank you. I don't like simply copy pasting code without understanding what it does, hence I asked.

apparently my help gets discredited since its "not needed". I don't know why I bother trying to help anyways.

However, if you just want the stand alone addon to hide the social button window you could have easily made one yourself. If you're not sure how then you can follow the steps:

Sure, you can make one yourself but it's a lot easier to just use http://addon.bool.no/

In your example the TOC is supposed to be 70200 and there's no need to use XML and respond to the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD event here

Okay, I guess my help was pointless.

Okay, I guess my help was pointless.

I for one appreciate genuine offers of help.
Regardless of whether it becomes redundant or not.
So I thank you for that, even if I was not the recipient.

We see too much unpleasant behaviour on here and in-game.
It is nice to see effort to help someone.

Yeah help is fine, I'm just saying that if you choose to make an addon manually...

• you usually don't have to include the XML
• and in this case don't have to wait for the PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD event

## Interface: 70200
## Version: 1.0
## Title: HideSocial

HideSocial.lua

HideSocial.lua

local b = QuickJoinToastButton
b:UnregisterAllEvents()
b:SetScript("OnShow", b.Hide)
b:Hide()

Considering http://addon.bool.no/ seems down at the moment
