Right click error has been posted in several threads in this forum

Here is a quick fix.

If you aren't comfortable editing the code, wait for the next development release. It should be fixed by then.

I can edit the code if you can tell me how to bring up the code to edit.

missmoonfire · 10-15-10, 02:07 PM

Never mind figured it out THANK YOU!!!

Notepad should do just fine. Just navigate to the file mentioned in the post and open it with Notepad then do a find on "this.".

Edit:

Guess I didn't type fast enough.....lol

OMG Your awesome!!!!! I just fixed my own code!

Uhoh .. another addon writer in the making

That's how I got started

Although I was a programmer in another life, I haven't don't any real coding in ages. I am still pretty good at finding bugs though. Maybe one of these days when I have some quiet time (tough with 5 kids) I can sit down and learn LUA programming. God knows I have the time since I am currently unemployed (not by choice).

Should I just go ahead and apologize now, or wait until later?

I actually got started with WoW modding because I was unemployed (14 months straight, not by choice)... I was looking for any way to make some money.

As a matter of interest, Lua is not an acronym (LUA), it's the Porugese word for "moon" -- do not ask me why a programming language was named moon. ~grin~

Anyway... having been where you are... I feel your pain... wishing you luck!

I've been thinking about doing this myself, but similar to you I haven't done any programming in 20+ years. I can fix VERY minor errors myself, but that's about it. I'm rusty as hell.

Can somebody tell me where I can go to get docs etc on LUA programming, materials I need etc?

Come to think of it, do any of you addon programmers use UtraEdit for your programming, and have an UltraEdit formatting script setup?

For Lua... see http://www.lua.org
For the WoW API... see http://www.wowwiki.com/Portal:Interface_customization
For an IDE, I use "AddOn Studio for World of Warcraft"
