Sample layout (art is not included)

Example code (layout.lua)

cargoShip (Display)

Complete rewrite, it can now be as well be used as a lib - your old layout.lua will not work in this version without changes due to the new options.

cargoShip is a LibDataBroker display-addon and library which can only be configured through changing the Lua-code. It was designed to provide a lightweight (~13 kb mem. usage) and flexible framework for creating info blocks based on data objects.

It provides support for the following attributes (you can add more if you like):

icon, iconR, iconB, iconG, iconCoords
text, label, value, suffix
OnEnter, OnLeave, OnClick
tooltip, OnTooltipShow

You can add more of them (or change existing) by providing your custom functions in cargoShip.UpdateFunctions["attributeName"] = function(self, attribute, dataobj) end.

The addon comes with a sample layout which gives you a good start on creating and positioning your elements (in the layout.lua - with comments). Please notice that I use most likely different LDB-data sources than you do

A short function reference (see core.lua comments for detailed overview):

cargoShip("name" [, options]) - returns a new info block of the specified LDB-data source
cargoShip:Get("name") - returns a table of all created blocks for this data source name
cargoShip:GetUnused() - returns a table of all unused data sources
cargoShip:PrintUnused() - prints all unused data sources in chat

Please drop a comment for your feedback, bug reports and/or suggestions.

drdead A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 5 Uploads: 0	Hello Cargor. Tnx for great addon. I created frame int layout.lua to attach LDB launchers to it but that frame doesnt move other frames, and i need all frames that cross with it go down (i have minimap at the upper right corner w\o addons that overrides "panel" i created, so i cant move it). What i need to add? Code: local fr = CreateFrame("Frame") fr:SetFrameStrata("BACKGROUND") fr:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", UIParent, "TOPLEFT", 0, 0) fr:SetWidth(900) fr:SetHeight(15) fr:SetScale(1.2) fr:SetBackdropColor(0, 0, 0) fr:SetClampedToScreen(true) fr:EnableMouse(true) fr:Show()

Cargor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 127 File comments: 242 Uploads: 17	Whoops, I'll fix it in another version. In the meantime, parenting the objects to UIParent should work: object:SetParent(UIParent) __________________ « Homepage \| Git » My blog is finally getting english!

Dainton A Cyclonian Forum posts: 46 File comments: 50 Uploads: 0	I've noticed that the display is still shown when you hide the interface (default "Z" if i remember correctly). Is this intentional? It's not a big deal for me as I don't use it often, but some might like a way to hide it with it.

Cargor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 127 File comments: 242 Uploads: 17	I'll check it as soon as possible. EDIT: Just looked into Ara_Broker_XP and Ara somehow likes to add color information to the data broker name. So, you have to define the name in cargoShip on the same way: \|cFFFFB366Ara\|r XP \|cFFFFB366Ara\|r Tradeskills \|cFFFFB366Ara\|r Guild If some others don't work, it's a good start to find the exact name of the data object in the broker-file. Just search for "NewDataObject" and the name should usually appear in the bracket after it __________________ « Homepage \| Git » My blog is finally getting english!

The frame disappears, because you basically "leave" the panel and "enter" the display-block. Blizz' API about entering/leaving is not very clever, so they don't really check if the panel is still underneath your mouse (and the block).

Try to use this script:

Code:

local updateFrame = CreateFrame"Frame" updateFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self) if(not MouseIsOver(f1)) then HideTop() self:Hide() end end

And add in ShowTop() the following to make use of it: updateFrame:Show()
This update-routine basically checks as soon as you entered the panel every time if your mouse is still over the frame and so bypasses the false OnLeave.

By the way, why don't you make all blocks in the panel as the panel's child with dominos:SetParent(f1) - Then you don't have to set the alpha-values for each block manually, because they inherit it from the panel.

Hope, this works, as I didn't test it

Great! Just great, this method worked. I had to do some minor modifications to code you posted:

Code:

local updateFrame = CreateFrame("Frame")
updateFrame:SetScript("OnUpdate", function(self)
    if(MouseIsOver(f1)) then
        ShowTop()
        self:Show()
    else
	HideTop()
	self:Hide()
    end
end)

and everything worked as I wanted.

Also thanks for the tip to use SetParent method, my layout code looks much cleaner now :P

Okay, well, to be honest, the only reason I still play WoW is because of addon development. The rest became boring after four years of active playing =P
And since I write them in my free time and also release them for free, there are of course the subscription fee's ... so if you want to support me, here's your chance!

And ... umm ... there's still the habit of eating lots of chocolate while thinking of addons :/
