oUF - Layout discussion

Take a look at oUF_Noob's Noob.xml... It adds the raid pets to the raid frames then you will have the vehicle swap you are looking for. I have added it to mine and everything works as it should.

I would like to add MTs and MT targets to oUF Lyn to give these unit frames the same style as the Lyn layout, but I don't want to use oUF Lyn for the raid frames themselves, instead I'd prefer to use oUF Freebgrid. Any ideas?

I've added:

	if(self:GetParent():GetName():match"oUF_MainTanks") then
		self:SetWidth(160)
		self:SetHeight(20)
		self.Health:SetHeight(15)
		self.Power:SetHeight(3)
		self.Power.value:Hide()
		self.Health.value:SetPoint("RIGHT", 0 , 9)
		self.Name:SetPoint("LEFT", 0, 9)

and

local tank = oUF:Spawn("header", "oUF_MainTank")
tank:SetManyAttributes("showRaid", true, "yOffset", -15)
tank:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", 35, -200)
tank:Show()

to the layout, but the MT frames still only show up in freebgrid.

I deleted the spawning of the party frames and raid frames in oUF Lyn.

Make sure you set Lyn's style first.

how is that done?

My next update should fix your issue.

oUF_Freebgrid is loading before oUF_Lyn

[duhwhat]

hm, the MT frames aren't showing up even with freebgrid disabled.

You seem to have forgotten to set the filter.

tank:SetManyAttributes("showRaid", true, "yOffset", -15, "groupFilter", "MAINTANK,MAINASSIST")

What I'm trying to do here is have a function that I can shorten different elements just by using this function.

local function truncText(self, lenVal)
     if (len(self) > lenVal) then
	return (self:sub(1, lenVal)..'...')
     else
	return self
     end
end

Then for example down in my castbar I tried..

self.Castbar.Text = truncText(self.Castbar, 10)

Using both together it's supposed to shorten the castbar text and replace anything after the 10th space with ...

You don't set the text on an element in your style function, oUF handles that.

self.Castbar is a status bar. You're trying to truncate the value of a non-text element. self.Castbar.Text should be a FontString object but you're assigning it a nil value.

Instead, override the PostCastStart function where you can call:

self.Castbar.Text:SetText(truncText(self.Castbar.Text:GetText(), 10))

I tried testing that but it appears that either that line of code is wrong, my function is wrong (which is probably right) or both are wrong.

In your style function after the castbar code put:

self.PostCastStart = postCastStart

Then somewhere before your style function but after your truncate function add the function:

local function postCastStart(self, event, unit, name, rank, text, castid)
	self.Castbar.Text:SetText(truncText(text, 10))
end

That should work for you.

Why not just set a width to your castbar text?
It would be automatically truncated with ...

that is some sexy stuff!

[Subere]

What would be the proper way to hide the blizzard party frames and not have any party frames displayed by the layout?

local party = oUF:Spawn('header', 'oUF_Party')
party:Hide()

Or would it still have events registered and be doing things if you're in a party, even though nothing is being displayed?

Alright, I've been trying to include the runes.

I've tried self.Runes, self.runes, which one is it :P

[Waverian]

When in doubt read the core, it's surprisingly well documented. :>

--[[ Runebar:
	Author: Zariel
	Usage: expects self.runes to be a frame, setup and positiononed by the layout itself, it also requires self.runes[1] through 6 to be a statusbar again setup by the user.

	Options: (All optional)
	.spacing: (float)       Spacing between each bar
	.anchor: (string)       Initial anchor to the parent rune frame
	.growth: (string)       LEFT or RIGHT
	.height: (int)          Height of the bar
	.width: (int)           Width of each frame
]]

There are some issues with it, atleast I had some when I tried.

Should now be fixed.

Heres a basic layout using the rune frame, runes.lua

Yep, pushed new release of my layout to prove its working.
