The Minimized Chat...

Chicchai

Explanation
Chicchai is a little Addon that will Minimize the Chat after a few seconds.

What can Chicchai do?

Minimize the Chat after X seconds
Maximize Chat on mouseover
Animations
Configurable on wich events (Guild, say, yell,...) the chat should maximize
Posibility to disable maximizing on combat
CombatLog will be maximized when selected (optional)
and more...

Other
Click for Previewvideo - lousy quality, but you'll get the idea.
Uses about 6.8 kb

Configuration
The configuration will be done through lua only. Commented, so it will be easy, i think.

You can call some functions if you want to handle maximizing/minimizing by yourself:

/script ChatFrame1:Maximize() - Maximize this chat frame
/script ChatFrame1:Minimize() - Minimize this chat frame
/script ChatFrame1:SetFrozen(true/false) - block maximizing/minimizing

Thanks to
Cargor (EU-Nozdormu)
I asked him if he would help me a bit, because im so a lazy bastard. So he started coding and POOF - Chicchai was like in my dreams, even better :3

Hope ya enjoy,
Lolzen

Code:

-- Modify this to maximize only on special channels
-- comment/remove it to react on all channels
local channelNumbers = {
	[1] = true,
	[2] = true,
	[3]  = true,
}

Just add your channelnumber in here.

Code:

[ChannelNumber] = true,

What should I change in lua to make it combatlog work like chatframe1?

Add ["ChatFrame2"] = {} to this function:

Code:

local ChatFrameConfig = {
}

Blizz stores the size of the chat frame on every logout and sets it on login, there is no way around it. Just unlock the chat frame and resize it by dragging on one of the corners.

Yeah i did and it did not change anything for me.

But its ok i will live with out it

Xarl An Aku'mai Servant Forum posts: 38 File comments: 60 Uploads: 0	I am confused to be honest. I installed the addon and on Window 1 where i have only my Area Chat it maxi and minimizes but when i switch to Trade it dont move a bit and even that it has these settings... Code: -- Modify this to maximize only on special channels -- comment/remove it to react on all channels local channelNumbers = { [1] = true, [2] = true, [3] = true, } I did remove them like it says but then not even Area Chat will open up then. Thing is i have a Guild Chat window on the other Side and it did not even touch it and i am not sure what to change on the Code. Anybody that can help ? Thanks in advance __________________

Cargor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 130 File comments: 242 Uploads: 17	Well, theoretically speaking yes, but it would maybe require a lot of code changes. Shameless self-promotion here: I would suggest taking a look at my LibFx-1.1 which is written to simplify a lot of the animating stuff (sliding, fading and so on) - you can find a detailed documentation on the page including a small example. __________________ « Homepage \| Git » Oh hai!

loui A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 1 File comments: 472 Uploads: 2	Hi there.. !! is it possible to use the slide animation for other things. for example sliding kgpanels? Thanks in advance!

Cargor A Flamescale Wyrmkin Forum posts: 130 File comments: 242 Uploads: 17	Yep, that's because Blizz stores the chat height / width anew on every logout / reloadUI and there is no way to prevent this. But it should be no problem to unlock the chatwindow and resize it back to your preferred size. But Chicchai shouldn't touch your complete layout other than the chat-height and this only on defined frames. __________________ « Homepage \| Git » Oh hai!

Kouryu A Kobold Labourer Forum posts: 0 File comments: 1 Uploads: 0	freak error ? I'm a new user, like the addon so a far. Encountered a small problem, after installing the addon and then disabling the addon my main chat window was still 1 line. After uninstalling the addon main chat window was still 1 line. Resetting the chat windows fixed the problem but i was just wondering is that normal occurrence with the addon ? A couple side notes I have one additional chat window setup for guild chat and also i had not configured the addon in anyway before disabling/uninstalling it. Not a big issue just a pain to setup my chat windows again after reseting them

fuqinsim A Murloc Raider Forum posts: 4 File comments: 19 Uploads: 0	hmm.., I tried your bit of code to maximize the combatlog frame in combat and minimize when OOC but i receive the following error when entering combat: [2009/08/27 23:59:02-1694-x1]: Chicchai-3.0\core.lua:184: attempt to call method 'Maximize' (a nil value) and this one leaving combat: [2009/08/27 23:59:16-1694-x1]: Chicchai-3.0\core.lua:186: attempt to call method 'Minimize' (a nil value) really liking the addon , this little feature would be nice if i could get it to work. I got the code above that to work(to maximize on editbox open) and i know enough t oge taround well with LUA. Thanks for your time and effort :0]

Re: multiple chat windows

umm, oki, here's the thing, I want multiple chat windows, you know, one window for says, general chat and the combat log, and another SEPERATE window that has different windows in it, one for guild, party/raid, and whispers. I know how to seperate the windows, what I can't figure out is how to put the windows together once they're seperated from the main?

anyone help?

Just drag one chatframe onto another, like docking one chattab, to the other.
If you have Fane or anything other installed you may consider disabling it for an easier docking.
But i don't know how it is doing it with fane, as i have only one Chat Window with 2 Tabs -> Standart :P

For further help i recomment the Official UI Forums, as the Chat Windowbehavor isn't affected by Chicchai in any way (except Minimizing/Maximizing) and my english isn't the best, sry
