nUI6 - Ouch!

Dreadrel · 06-03-10, 07:20 PM

After installing nUI6 alpha and logging on, everything looked ok and I had no error messages. I then logged off and disabled nUI6. When I logged back on all my addons were messed up. When I logged off and went to the Add on page ALL of my add ons had been enabled for ALL my toons. Ugh! I hope you can fix this. It will be awhile before I try nUI6 alpha again.

nUI6 would *NOT* have caused all of your addons to be enabled... it's not capable of doing such a thing. That functionality is entirely handled by Blizzard and I couldn't even break that if I wanted to as it would be a HUGE security hole if an addon could do what you describe.

I'm not sure what happened there, but I assure you it had *NOTHING* to do with nUI6... jus' sayin'

I hear you. All I know is that after disabling nUI6 (and nothing else) and relogging all my addons were enabled. It may be a mystery, but it did happen.

I didn't have the same problem I disabled NUI6 yesterday just to run a few 5 mans and everything went back to the way it was so I don't think NUI6 caused your problem

(Just fyi, an addon can enable/disable other addons, but I'm sure spiel would know if he had EnableAddOn("blah") in his code.

I was unaware that addons could disable addons... I knew they could load them, etc. Seems like a huge hole to me... but okay.

To be sure, I definitely have *no* Enable/DisableAddon() calls in any of my code.

And thanks for the education... now I can wreak havoc on addons I don't like ~grin~

This morning I decided to see if I could reproduce the problem....nada...My most likely explanation is that after disabling nUI6 and moving my mouse on the Add-on screen to click "OK," I indadvertantly clicked on "Enable All." At this point I think it was a false alarm.
