XMage : Portals 

I have tested MagePorts in 8.2 on the PTR and all seems well. I'll do a final test and any file update after 8.2 goes live.

As to Classic, initial test run only highlights button display problems with no actual errors ( but I would suppose if I had clicked the buttons they would have tried to do a spell that isn't correct ). Will test and fix over the weekend ( if I still have access ) and upload it. I will try and do it sooner than later so that other Beta testers can download and test it themselves.

It's more awkward than I though as I had forgotten that the new Map functionality that I use in my addons has been taken out for Classic. It involves a rethink on what needs to be changed.

I've had the opportunity to see the effect the expansion will have on this addon. Outside of tooltip info being incorrect that can be added once the revised information is known the only issue was the changes to the backdrop system.

For those that want to use this addon in the beta the only change required is as follows:

File : XMage_Portals_Templates.xml

The code block altered:
Replaced the < Backdrop > block with <KeyValues> block.

Barring an error which has an easy fix the addon works in Dragonflight Pre Patch fine.

The fix is as follows for those that need it working now rofl

In XMage_Portals_Config.lua around line 55

In XMage_Portals_Frames.lua around line 30

However, tooltip info definitely needs a revamp, expansion pack requirement isn't a thing really so no longer needs to be there. The new level information since Shadowlands changed it I tried to get from wowhead but the information seemed inconsistent. So I am levelling up a new mage so that I can check the level requirements at the trainer before learning any teleport/portal spells.

Also, the nUI infopanel system that the addon plugs into limits the size of the frame and with the portal buttons for Shadowlands and Dragonflight still to be added to the list I may have to either remove the *Regular spells* button or relocate it. Although based on the space the individual map spells take up, I could create a special area in the center right that could house 4-6 spells all the time.

I'm in the process of rewriting the addon to be more future proofed.

I currently have the frame work set up with the button frame able to house 32 buttons of a reasonable size
And a controller frame ( like before ) but this time instead of housing map imagery ( because they changed how that works and it isn't feasible that route now ) it uses buttons for Portals, Teleports and Historical Spells.

I think the frame is still small enough to fit within nUI's info panel frame but will test and make changes when that part is hooked back in ( it shouldn't need many changes to the older version ).

I may also consider a minimap button to show and hide the frame and may even see if I can add a list of the most used spells for easy access. But I have never done that type of functionality so I won't say it's a definite.

Edit 1: Next Day (Day 2 )
Working:
Header Frame movable but location not stored between sessions
Buttons, Cooldowns and History working as expected
Button Frames shown and hidden as required and as expected

StillToDo:
Frame Changes dependant on combat / regen situation
Minimap Button and/or Slash Command considerations
nUI Integration re-applied
Store frame location between sessions


Edit 2 : Following Day ( Day 3 )
Had things pretty much where I wanted them ( albeit the minimap button and any settings )
nUI Infopanel working as expected
In combat changes made as expected
Frame Location consistent as long as you didn't switch between nUI and non nUI

However ....
I decided to set the addon up to be cross version compatible to find that some of the code and the UI visual wasn't quite working right in Classic Era.

So ..
Time to get the version files and data set up so that only portions of the addon are version specific with the bulk version friendly.

The downside is that I don't have the ability to make a high level mage in Classic Era - due to it's current Season. So, I will just assume that things will correct themselves as people learn the spells.
However, I have limited the addon to Mage class only so, if there was a portal/teleport rune, there won't be an addon version for that scenario.


Edit 3,4:
I think I have managed to get most things working across all versions ( Retail, Classic Era, Cata Beta ) barring a few issues.
1. Going from nUI plugin to regular addon it is reactivating the wrong buttons
2. When in nUI plugin mode, the cooldown counter numbers do not appear because nUI ignores the counter display blizzard setting as they have their own.
3. When a new spell is learned, it isn't correctly updating the pages - appears to work now in Classic Cata tests
4. After a cooldown is triggered and the frame is hidden( combat/page switching) returning to the frame didn't update the cooldown - appears to work now in Classic Cata

Tested with :
Classic Era / Vanilla ( with a low level mage with no portal spells )
Classic Cataclysm ( on Beta with a max level mage with most spells available in that version )
Retail / Mainline ( on PTR and Retail with both a high and low level mage )


The only issues I am seeing so far based on these tests are :

When in nUI plugin mode, the cooldown counter numbers do not appear because nUI ignores the counter display blizzard setting as they have their own. But the cooldown swipe works fine.

When a cooldown is triggered but you switch to history page, the spell there isn't immediately updated with the cooldown. Moving off and back on will update it however.

I won't worry about these however as one involves a big change to nUI and the other occurs in an unlikely common situation.

Unfortunately the PTR has turned off addon availability for the moment so I haven't been able to go through my small addons prior to the pre-expansion patch update. I will of course update here once I have tested it and updated it where necessary.

Where they have made spellbook changes I am suspecting that many of my addons are affected so will attempt to keep on top of fixable issues and keep an eye on problematic ones.

Where Portals is cross version compatible ( or was ), there may be more changes required as not all versions will be using the same Spellbook api until they update them in the future.

Edit: As of 18th July. This version still works on TWW PTR. No errors setting up the frames ( a little glitch but should be easily fixable ) and of course, I don't know the spell info for the new portals and teleports.
No changes required means it should also still work on the other versions. I don't play on Classic, so if you do find an issue with general usage, let me know.

Before doing an official 11.0 version upload after the Pre Expansion version hits I will do another quick run through in case they make changes nearer and on release day.

Yep, looks like they made some changes that messed up the addon badly.

Working on it ..
