nUI and SexyMap?

[Elizair]

So I just recently got nUI and love it. I also use SexyMap to modify my mini map. And it works.. mostly. The only issue I have is that is doesn't properly work with my tracking button. It puts the button in the button bag, and the icon for whatever is tracked on the mini map.
Any way to fix this? I really don't want to lose my fancy map, but I hate not having a working tracking button too.

since nUI dose some stuff with the minimap im pretty sure that using sexymap is going to conflict with this..

i would stop using sexy map but maybe speil can help ya with a fix o.O

If you know what the name of your tracking minimap button is called you can tell nUI to not bag it.

Okay, in your nUI\Plugins folder you have a file called nUI_ButtonBag.lua. The following is a segment of code from it to show you what you are looking for.

If you look carefully you will see that the Tracking button is set to true. Setting that to false should tell nUI not to put it in the button bag.

local ButtonBagConfig = 
{	
	-- transient minimap buttons we want on the top row
	
	TopRow =
	{
		["MiniMapMeetingStoneFrame"] = true,
		["MiniMapVoiceChatFrame"] = true,
		["MiniMapRecordingButton"] = true,
	},
	
	-- buttons we want to force ignore of
	
	Excludes = 
	{		
		["MiniMapMailFrame"] = true,
		["MiniMapBattlefieldFrame"] = true,
		["MinimapBackdrop"] = true,
		["MiniMapPing"] = true,
		["MiniMapCompassRing"] = true,
		["MinimapZoomIn"] = true,
		["MinimapZoomOut"] = true,
		["MiniMapTracking"] = true,
		["MiniMapWorldMapButton"] = true,
		["GatherMiniNoteUpdateFrame"] = true,
		["TimeManagerClockButton"] = true,
		["FishingBuddyMinimapMenuButton"] = true,
		["PoisonerMinimapButton"] = true,
		["GameTimeFrame"] = false,
	},

Edit: Hmm come to think of it .. nUI should not be putting the tracking button in the buttonbag .. its being ignored by this code. Unless its another addon you are talking about.

Xrystal is correct... nUI does not put the tracking button the button bag. The only think I can think of is that SexyMap has replaced the tracking button with it's own version and nUI is moving that.

Take a look at the file [ WTF > Account > {your account} > SavedVariables > nUI.lua ] and you'll find a section that looks something like this...

nUI_DebugLog = {
    ["ButtonBag"] = {
        ["MinimapZoomIn"] = "skipped forced ignore button",
        ["MiniMapMailFrame"] = "skipped forced ignore button",
        ["MinimapBackdrop"] = "skipped forced ignore button",
        ["MiniMapRecordingButton"] = "does not appear to be a button",
        ["LibDBIcon10_Skada"] = "autodetected and moved button",
        ["MinimapPing"] = "does not appear to be a button",
        ["MinimapZoomOut"] = "skipped forced ignore button",
        ["MiniMapMeetingStoneFrame"] = "autodetected and moved button",
        ["MiniMapBattlefieldFrame"] = "skipped forced ignore button",
        ["MiniMapVoiceChatFrame"] = "autodetected and moved button",
        ["MiniMapTracking"] = "skipped forced ignore button",
        ["MiniMapWorldMapButton"] = "skipped forced ignore button",
        ["GameTimeFrame"] = "moved forced include button",
    },
}

Look at the "autodetected and moved" entries for one that looks like it might be the tracking button. If you can spot it, then copy that button name into the "Excludes" section in [ Interface > AddOns > nUI > Plugins > nUI_ButtonBag.lua ] as Xrystal already pointed out.

Also, let me know what the name of the button is and I'll make sure to add it to the exclude list permanently.

Sexy map used to have an option menu where you pick which buttons it has control over i think its been awhile. So if you disable sexy maps control of the tracking button you should be okay too.

[Elizair]

["MiniMapTrackingButton"] = "autodetected and moved button"
["MiniMapTracking"] = "skipped forced ignore button",

I got this in my nUI.lua.....
I'm not very familiar with coding of stuff so I'm a lil confused as to what to do. :P

And yes SexyMap has the option to pick if it has control over buttons, but that option doesn't fix my tracking button. It only worked for some other addons like DBM.

Well from what you found it looks like you need to add ["MiniMapTrackingButton"] to the list of ignored buttons. Look at that post I did telling you what file and section has what you want to change. Then, its just the case of adding that line to it so it shows something like this:

	Excludes = 
	{		
		["MiniMapMailFrame"] = true,
		["MiniMapBattlefieldFrame"] = true,
		["MinimapBackdrop"] = true,
		["MiniMapPing"] = true,
		["MiniMapCompassRing"] = true,
		["MinimapZoomIn"] = true,
		["MinimapZoomOut"] = true,
		["MiniMapTracking"] = true,
                        ["MinimapTrackingButton"] = true,
		["MiniMapWorldMapButton"] = true,
		["GatherMiniNoteUpdateFrame"] = true,
		["TimeManagerClockButton"] = true,
		["FishingBuddyMinimapMenuButton"] = true,
		["PoisonerMinimapButton"] = true,
		["GameTimeFrame"] = false,
	},

*cries* That didn't work...

[Xrystal]

Hmm, okay, let me try. I'll add sexy map and try and get it working.

I know this is a somewhat old post, but I am also using Sexymap with Nui, and was wondering if it would be possible to have a command put in to completely shut off the buttonbag, similar to the way you shut off Nui's control of the minimap itself?

[spiel2001]

You'll have much greater control over the button bag in nUI6, but no change will be made in nUI5 for that.
