Grid  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 8.0.1.1
by: Phanx [More]

Grid has been continued as Plexus by Doadin. Use that instead; Grid has not been updated since 2018 and will not be updated in the future.

Grid is a compact and highly configurable party/raid unit frame addon.
The compact grid of unit frames lets you select a group member quickly, while keeping a good overview of the whole group. It shows as much information as possible without overloading you. It allows you to customize what information you see, and how you see it. It works in both party and raid groups, and supports pets and vehicles.

Want more features? The Grid core tries to include only features which are generally useful for all classes and roles, but makes it easy to add new features with a simple plugin API for developers. Over 75 third-party plugins are already available!

Type “/grid” for options, or right-click the minimap button, DataBroker launcher, or Grid frame tab.

Language Support
Grid is compatible with all World of Warcraft localizations. It is currently translated into English, Deutsch, Español, Français, Italiano, Português, Русский, 한국어, 简体中文, and 繁體中文.

To add or update translations for any language, enter them on the WowAce project page. New and updated translations will be automatically included in the next version of Grid!

HINT: The WowAce interface for adding translations is quite cumbersome. To make the process easier, you can use the Export function on WowAce, copy the exported data into your text editor, fill in your translations, and then paste them back into WowAce using the Import function.
Credits
Grid was originally conceived and written by Maia and Pastamancer in late 2006. Phanx has been the primary developer since late 2009. Jerry wrote the original pet support code. Mikk designed the icon. jlam added some advanced options for auras. Greltok has helped a lot with bugfixing. Finally, lots of people have contributed translations!

Deleted cache folder, grid folder, and grid.lua and grid.lua.bak from wtf. Copied over my old grid (.1265 I think). Deleted its Libs folder and put in the Libs folder from the current version. Problem persists.

It doesn't make sense to me that some settings take and others do not. I still think it has something to do with Windows 7 not letting the game write to certain files or to files in a certain way. As a good, I told it to run WOW as administrator (even though only user on this machine has admin rights). For the first time, it prompted me "Do you wish to allow this program to make changes to your computer?" I had my hopes up. For naught. Problem persists.

When a player goes in frame, advanced and goes to change corner size, font size and frame dimensions, which file are these settings stored to? Is it written straight to memory first and saved to a file when WOW shuts down? Are things like enable center text 2, and frame upper left corner, etc written to a different file? There has to be a reason this is selective, but consistent. And why it's only happening to me apparently.

Well, the previous version of Grid is compatible with 3.3.5; just several of the Ace2 libraries it embeds are not. Try installing the previous version of Grid, but using the Libs folder from the latest version. Does the problem persist?

I had actually done that.

Tonight, I restored my old Grid.lua and Grid.lua.bak. I also restored my Grid folder from the last time I knew it to be configured to my liking. It was a version that you've just said isn't compatible with 3.35. Surprisingly, ALL my settings were default.

I started anew once more. Kill cache, WTF, and interface. Fresh, current Grid. All filed in my WOW folder are NOT read only. Problem persists. Is there nothing I can do? I love Grid and am not ready to try and learn to heal without it.

Update Grid. As per your error report, you are still using v1.30300.1290, which is not compatible with WoW 3.3.5, and was superceded by v1.30300.1304 on the 23rd (3 days ago). Generally speaking, before posting an error report for an addon, especially for issues that appear after WoW patches, you should double check that you actually have the latest version of the addon.

No. Look through the dozens of old posts on this topic, on this page and in the wowace.com forum thread, if you want to know why.

Thank you once again for your help.

Bad news. I installed both, launched WOW, made sure only Grid, BugSack, and !BugGrabber were the only addons enabled and logged into my druid. Sack was green. Bring up Grid, Frame, Advanced, and changed corner size. Closed Grid and opened it back up. Corner size is still default. Bug sack is still green. Try again, including chaning text size and frame height. Problem persists, no bugs detected.

Am I screwed? Is there anything about which settings are working and which aren't that would help you know where the problem is?

BugSack is an error-catching tool to capture error messages. It is better than the default UI's error handler because it (a) catches errors that occur early in the loading process, and (b) stores errors for later viewing so you don't have to deal with them immediately or lose them. You can find it, along with its required dependency !BugGrabber, on Curse:

http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...s/bugsack.aspx
http://wow.curse.com/downloads/wow-a...g-grabber.aspx

Install those, restart WoW, and let me know if anything appears in the sack. If you use a DataBroker display addon, you'll have a green or red bag icon on there; otherwise, you'll see it on your minimap. If the icon is green, no errors have been seen this session; if it's red, click on it to view the errors. Copy and paste any errors in the "Current session" tab (use the arrows to navigate through them) that mention Grid.

Yes, the settings in question are ignored as you describe it. (a) yes (b) I don't know what BugSack is, but I turned Debugging on for Grid, Gridframe, and Gridlayout. When I log in, it posts a few things (looks like initialization). When I try to change the ignorant settings, I see no messages. (c) Yes. Any option that is ignored is always ignored while any option the works always works. (d) At one point, I realized I was tinkering with the default profile. So I went to create new profile class druid, reset profile, copy from Default. Problem persists.

When I go into Frame Advanced and enable Center Text 2 (always my first step in configuring Grid), it's fine. I then go through the various submenus of Frame and everything is fine until I get to advanced. Things dealing with appearance such as corner size, font size, frame height, etc are ignored. This was what lead me to believe it might be patch related and I updated Grid to new version in case (wanted it anyways for pet support). Problem persists identically with the new Grid as well.

If it matters, when I deleted my old Grid and replaced it with the new version, I went into WTF and deleted all instances of Grid. I believe it was just Grid.lua and Grid.lua.bak. Thank you for your speedy reply, as well as your work. As you can see, I can't heal without Grid! :-P

From the addon description:

If you downloaded Grid from wowace.com, or through the Curse Client, please don't post here. The WoWInterface releases are actually tested. Anything from wowace.com is bleeding-edge and may or may not work.
This page is for stable releases; if a version was not released here, please do not post about it here.

If you change an option and the new setting is applied in-game, but reverts to its previous setting after you relog or reload the UI, then yes, it is probably an issue with file permissions. I don't use Windows 7, so I can't help you, but there are dozens of resources out there explaining how to fix various problems with WoW and Windows Vista/7.

Just before 3.35 hit, I upgraded my OS to Windows 7. My WOW folder was on another partition and didn't need reinstalled. However, I did have to delete my WTF and Interface folders. When I went to reconfigure Grid (latest version), I noticed that some settings are changed just fine. Others, I cannot update. I can put my cursor into the field and make changes, but they don't get saved.

I'm assuming this has something to do with Windows 7 and permissions. I'm logged in as administrator and all files in my WOW folder are NOT read only. Is there something I'm missing?

Hello! I am also having issues with the health deflicts. With the released version i got blank health bars. I updated to alpha and now my healthbars are colored, but translucent, and dont register damage taken. I updated all plugins, and grid itself. I have tried running grid without plug ins, and with all other addons turned off and i still have the problem. What i dont understand is grid works fine on 1 of my computers, but not on this one. I'm also not registering any error messages. I've spent hours trying to figure out why but i'm at a loss. Any ideas whats wrong? Its hard to heal without healthbars and i love grid! lol. Thanks in advance!

*edit*
Nevermind. After changing nothing and hitting copy from default for the 50th time, grid works! I'm confused as to why, as copying hadn't worked before, but i'm gonna go with it! lol
