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!

Showing tanks first

Hi Phanx,

Wondering if there is anyway through Grid or a Grid plugin to always show tanks first for every layout/party size? I seen one plugin called ConfigurableLayouts possibly offered this, but according to its Curse page comments it needs updated for 6.0 and no longer works.

I'm currently using Grid2, but it's sorting features are buggy and only seem to work half the time. I guess Vuhdo can do it, but I find it's interface bloated and confusing. Very hard to find good raid framers that can show tanks first it seems. I find it helps a great deal with healing when raid size gets to 20+.

Version 6.0.3.1710
  • Temporary fix for raid difficulty detection: LFR, Normal, and Heroic will use your chosen "Flexible Raid" layout, and Mythic will use your "25 Player Raid" layout. In the near future, all built-in layouts will automatically adjust their size for your current raid, and there will only be one "Raid" layout setting.
  • Fixed an issue with right-click bindings in Clique (ticket #747)
  • Fixed the Mouseover status not triggering when "Show Tooltip" was set to "Never" (ticket #770)
  • Fixed another issue with status counts (eg. aura stacks) (ticket #768)
  • Fixed the Resurrection status (ticket #745)
Please check the ticket tracker before reporting problems. If there's already a ticket about your problem, I already know about it, so just be patient. If there's not already a ticket, creating a ticket is the best way to make sure I don't forget to look into the problem!

If you're talking about the background frame, go to Grid > Layout > Background color > change the alpha (transparency) value with the slider on the right side of the color picker frame.

If you're talking about the individual unit frames, assign some status to the Frame Alpha indicator whose color has an alpha value < 1.

Version 6.0.2.1699

General:
  • Fixed the options for changing the frame height/width
Statuses:
  • Fixed the Mouseover status (ticket #748)
  • Fixed the icons for the Role and Master Looter statuses
  • Fixed the appearance of the Group Leader, Group Assistant, and Master Looter statuses when shown on icon-type indicators
Indicators:
  • Fixed the Healing Bar indicator
  • Fixed the Center Icon indicator showing stack counts of 0 or 1
  • Fixed an error that could sometimes occur when using the Health Bar Color indicator
  • Fixed count property not being passed to indicators (ticket #741)
  • [API] All default indicators are now reset before any third-party indicators

Known Issues
  • WoW is currently reporting incoming heal and absorb amounts that are much too small, so Grid will also show incoming heal and absorb amounts that are much too small. There is nothing I can do about this other than wait for Blizzard to fix the problem on their end.
  • The layout options have not yet been updated for the new raid sizes in Warlords of Draenor.
  • Some users have reported that certain debuffs are not activating the Debuff Type statuses. See ticket #760.
  • Some users have reported that the right-click menu is not working correctly when Clique is enabled. See ticket #747.
  • Some users have reported that the Resurrection status is not working. See ticket #745.
Please do not post new tickets about these issues. Check the existing ticket, and if you have new information to add about the issue, post a comment on the ticket.

Based on the description of the "debuff type" problem, it's possible that the game isn't providing correct information about some/all buffs/debuffs, or that some function for getting that information was changed.
Nothing seems to be working I'm afraid. Every attempt to solve the problem has failed, and I've run out of options. It's so frustrating!

Sigh. I'll just use the less attractive blizzard frames with clique for now, and hopefully the issue will fix itself in a later update.

That's not a bug, it's just how you've configured the addon. To "fix" it you can either:

a) increase the width of each frame (Grid > Frame > Frame Width)
b) decrease the size of the text (Grid > Frame > Text Options > Font Size)
c) decrease the maximum number of letters Grid will try to show at once (Grid > Frame > Text Options > Center Text Length)

As previously stated the layout system will be updated for the new raid sizes at some point, but fixing the bugs is far more important right now, and my time to play WoW and test addons is very limited, so I don't have a specific ETA.

Hi! Sorry for the late reply, I've had issues with my ISP.

So, the current status indicators are as follows:

Center Icon: Debuff Type: Curse, Disease, Magic & Posion are all enabled.
Top Right: Beacon of Light (Show if mine ticked)
Top Left: Eternal Flame (Show if mine ticked)
Bottom Left: Hand of Sacrifice (Show if mine ticked)
Bottom Right: Hand of Protection (Show if mine ticked)

Can you give me an example of a specific status that you're assigning, and which indicator you're assigning it to? The healing bar indicator is not currently functional, but all of the other indicators should be working fine.

For example, if I assign the "Group Leader" status to the "Top Left Corner" indicator, then the player who is the group leader gets a blue box in the top left corner of their Grid frame as expected. For another example, I have the "Riptide" status assigned to the "Bottom Left Corner" indicator on my shaman, with the "Show only mine" option checked, and when I cast Riptide on someone, a purple box appears in the bottom left corner of their Grid frame as expected.

Indicators not appearing on the Healing Bar

Hi! So I'm using the latest version of Grid, which is 6.0.2.1679-beta.

I appear to be having some problems with the Indicators. After assigning statuses to each point (Top Left, Bottom Right etc.) I'd suppose they should appear on the grid bar where the indicators said they'd be, however, they don't appear at all.

My question:
Is this feature still in the works, or do I require a third party plug-in to have them show on my bars?

Thanks, and I'm sorry if I sound like a complete idiot! x)

If you are still seeing messages about indicators that don't exist, you do not have the latest version of Grid. Stop wasting your time and mine by posting about nonexistent issues, and learn how to update your addons.

I have deleted all of the useless posts from people using old versions, and will continue deleting such posts.

Thanks. I'll look into it when I have time.

This page is for support of the official version of Grid itself only. I cannot help you with any plugins. For a simple question like "does it work?" just try it and find out. For any other questions -- eg. "when will it be updated?" -- go post on the plugin's page where the plugin's author might actually see your post.

Finally ran a raid tonight and I noticed that the stack count wasn't showing on my tank debuff icons for SoO bosses. I'm not sure if this is a bug or an intended change.

Edit: I posted a Bug Report on wowace for this issue.
