Request: Ability to enable / disable Map icons from the Map interface

Just a quick request to add the ability to enable or disable the Map icons from the Map interface. Pettracker was able to do this and it was a convenient way to turn the icons on or off without having to go into the addon settings menu each time. I've seen several other addons with this sort of ability, often integrated into the existing Blizzard map menu as opposed to creating their own, so if there's an option to replicate this feature in BattlePetCompletionist that would be appreciated.

We had this feature, and plan on reintroducing it.
The problem is that Blizzard changed the way the dropdown menu works on the map, and we haven't been able to find a way yet to hook into that.
So hopefully it will be coming back.

If you happen to know about any other addon that manages to add checkboxes to the dropdown after 11.0.0, please let me know which one, so I can see how they do it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

The only other addon I currently use that places any sort of menu on the Map is RareScanner. They do not integrate with the Blizzard menu, but they do have their own menu icon that appears just to the left of the Map Legend icon that Blizzard provides. I find their implementation to be quite good so perhaps that's an option as opposed to integration with the Blizzard dropdown.

I'll keep that in mind, but for now, I don't like the idea of cluttering it with more buttons (the amount of buttons on the map is already growing).
Also, we have a chat slash option, an addon compartment and a minimap icon ๐Ÿ™‚

we have a chat slash option

Are these documented anywhere? I don't see anything about this on the addon page on Curse. If there's a way to quickly turn the map icons on or off using a slash command that would be fine. I'm simply looking for a way to avoid having to go into the settings screen to turn this on or off. I have no issue with the variety of ways available to access Settings.

Not currently, but I like the idea of having a slash command to toggle it.
I will look into it when I get time soon ๐Ÿ™‚

commented

I have created a chat command called /bpcom-toggle that toggles the same way the dropdown used to do.

You need version 11.0.2-20240821-2 for this (I have released two versions today, you need the newest version) ๐Ÿ™‚

commented

@swotam Good news - it seems like it is possible to modify the dropdown menu after all :)
Give 11.0.2-20240823-1 a try ;)
