Description
Lafee ElvUI Guild Hover
Lafee ElvUI Guild Hover is a World of Warcraft Retail extension for ElvUI. It adds interactive datatexts that show online contacts and members from your guild and each of your WoW communities.
Hover a datatext to open a clickable member list: left-click a member to whisper them, or right-click to invite their active WoW character.
Requirements
- World of Warcraft Retail
- ElvUI (required)
This addon does not modify any ElvUI files.
Features
- A dedicated Guilde interactive datatext for your guild.
- A dedicated Contacts interactifs datatext for WoW and Battle.net friends.
- One separate datatext for every subscribed WoW community.
- Community datatext IDs are stable and based on the community
clubId, so duplicate or renamed community names are handled safely. - Online member count displayed directly on every datatext.
- Interactive, ElvUI-styled member list instead of a static tooltip.
- Compact member rows with level and class-colored name.
- BattleTags are displayed in a right-hand column for Battle.net contacts only.

- Right-click to invite eligible characters.
- Scrollable lists for communities or guilds with more than 18 online members.

Installing
- Download and extract the archive.
- Place the
lafee_ElvUI_GuildHoverfolder in:World of Warcraft/_retail_/Interface/AddOns/ - Start the game or type
/reload.
Adding the Datatexts in ElvUI
- Open ElvUI options with
/ec. - Open Datatexts, then select the panel and slot you want to use.
- Select Guilde interactive for your guild roster.
- Select Contacts interactifs for your WoW and Battle.net contacts.
- Select a community by its exact community name for its own roster.
Each community is registered as a separate ElvUI datatext and appears in the normal datatext selection list.
Member List Actions
- Left-click: opens a whisper to the selected member when a valid character or Battle.net chat target is available.
- Right-click: invites the selected member when a valid active WoW character is available.
Invites are disabled for your own character, members already in your group, mobile-only members without a playable WoW character, and restricted combat situations.
Battle.net Community Limitations
Battle.net community members can be online without an active World of Warcraft character. They are still shown in the list with their status.
The addon never guesses a character name from a BattleTag. If the game does not provide a valid WoW character, the invite action is disabled. A Battle.net whisper is only offered when Blizzard provides usable account information.
