I think I updated the download link.

Noted something when I hid the UIErrors, it also hides quest updates as well

Yep, quest updates also use that frame. Best to simply filter out error messages. A decent addon would be xanErrorDevourer.

Hey Nib, Lily

Thanks for the help so far. I've posted a response on that topic that I'd started, but i thought that i should stick it here too seeing as this is the post that Lily referred me to:

I'm not sure if I've done what you suggested correctly. I'd downloaded your addon, bumped the .toc and added the bit of code to the top like you said. I logged on but it didn't seem to change anything.

I'm pretty sure that there's a HUGE chance that I've either put it in the wrong place or done something else wrong!!!

Please help moi!!

PHP Code:

local MoveFrameList = {
    ["MacaroonBars38"] = {parent = MerchantFrame, point = "CENTER", rpoint = "CENTER", x = 0, y = 0, scale = 1},

local FM = CreateFrame("Frame")
FM:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")

local _G = _G

-- Frames to Move
local MoveFrameList = {
    ["ExampleFrame"] = {parent = nil, point = "CENTER", rpoint = "CENTER", x = 0, y = 0, scale = 1},
    
}

-- Frames to Hide
local HideFrameList = {
    "ExampleFrame",
    
}

-- Functions
FM.HideAllFrames = function()
    for i,v in pairs(HideFrameList) do
        local f = _G[v]
        if f then
            f:UnregisterAllEvents()
            f:Hide()    
            f.Show = function() end
        end
    end
end

FM.MoveAllFrames = function()
    for i,v in pairs(MoveFrameList) do
        local t = MoveFrameList[i]
        local f, p = _G[i]
        if f then
            p = t.parent and _G[t.parent] or f:GetParent()
            f:ClearAllPoints()
            f:SetPoint(t.point, p, t.rpoint, t.x, t.y)
            f:SetScale(t.scale)
            f.SetPoint = function() end
        end
    end
end

FM:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
    FM.MoveAllFrames()
    FM.HideAllFrames()
end)

I copy and pastied your below code into the .lua (replacing all the previous code), but other than rendering the button inactive and moving the button to the centre of the screen, it didn't do anything else.

It appears as soon as log on too. I'm hoping to get it to only show when I pull up a merchant frame, but like I say, it shows 100% alpha all the time.

I'm going to try and add all of the frames belonging to the bar to the code and maybe that'll do it. I was hoping that the button and it's frame and shine would be pre attatched to the bar handler by macaroon, but using this addon appeared to 'detatch' the button from the frame.

Wish me luck!!! I need it!!

EDIT: The second I posted this, I realised that I didn't thank you for taking the time to try and solve my problem. Thanks!! I'm sure I'll get there eventually, I normally do!

Woops, saw you didn't put quotes around the parent frame.

local FM = CreateFrame("Frame")
FM:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
 
local _G = _G
 
-- Frames to Move
local MoveFrameList = {
    ["MacaroonBars38"] = {parent = "MerchantFrame", point = "CENTER", rpoint = "CENTER", x = 0, y = 0, scale = 1},
}
 
-- Frames to Hide
local HideFrameList = {
    "ExampleFrame",
    
}
 
-- Functions
FM.HideAllFrames = function()
    for i,v in pairs(HideFrameList) do
        local f = _G[v]
        if f then
            f:UnregisterAllEvents()
            f:Hide()    
            f.Show = function() end
        end
    end
end
 
FM.MoveAllFrames = function()
    for i,v in pairs(MoveFrameList) do
        local t = MoveFrameList[i]
        local f, p = _G[i]
        if f then
            p = t.parent and _G[t.parent] or f:GetParent()
            f:ClearAllPoints()
            f:SetPoint(t.point, p, t.rpoint, t.x, t.y)
            f:SetScale(t.scale)
            f.SetPoint = function() end
        end
    end
end
 
FM:SetScript("OnEvent", function()
    FM.MoveAllFrames()
    FM.HideAllFrames()
end)
