I'm trying to figure out how to I could add in game options to adjust settings.

You could use a library like http://www.wowinterface.com/download...ssist-1.1.html

Or you could review stuff from http://www.wowinterface.com/downloads/search.php using something like "options" as the search term to get an idea on how options are made.

Or you could use http://www.wowace.com/addons/ace3/pa...ace-config-3-0.

And http://wow.gamepedia.com/Creating_GU...ration_options describes the basics of building config stuff.
[e] I am just realizing that the page above is kind of outdated as the interface version is 1600. But I guess there are others related to options/settings at wowpedia. Like http://wow.gamepedia.com/Using_the_I...s_Addons_panel or http://wow.gamepedia.com/Creating_a_slash_command

It's actually very easy:

local addonName, ns = ...
 
local Addon = { }
ns.Addon = Addon
 
local frame = CreateFrame("Frame")
frame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
 
frame:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
    Addon[event](Addon, ...)
end)
 
function Addon:ADDON_LOADED(addon)
    if addon == addonName then
        self:OptionsAddonLoaded()
        frame:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")
    end
end
 
function Addon:OptionsAddonLoaded()
    self.panel = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, UIParent)
    self.panel.name = addonName
    self:CreateBlizzardOptions(self.panel)
    InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(self.panel)
    self.panel.about = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, self.panel)
    self.panel.about.name = "About"
    self:CreateAboutPanel(self.panel.about)
    self.panel.about.parent = self.panel.name
    InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(self.panel.about)
end
 
function Addon:CreateBlizzardOptions(frame)
    -- Title
    frame.Title = frame:CreateFontString(nil, "Artwork")
    frame.Title:SetFontObject(GameFontNormalLarge)
    frame.Title:SetPoint("TopLeft", 16, -16)
    frame.Title:SetJustifyH("Right")
    frame.Title:SetJustifyV("Top")
    frame.Title:SetWordWrap(false)
    frame.Title:SetText(addonName)
end
 
function Addon:CreateAboutPanel(frame)
    -- Title
    frame.Title = frame:CreateFontString(nil, "Artwork")
    frame.Title:SetFontObject(GameFontNormalLarge)
    frame.Title:SetPoint("TopLeft", 16, -16)
    frame.Title:SetJustifyH("Right")
    frame.Title:SetJustifyV("Top")
    frame.Title:SetWordWrap(false)
    frame.Title:SetText(addonName.." - About")
    -- Subtitle
    frame.Subtitle = frame:CreateFontString(nil, "Artwork", "GameFontHighlight")
    frame.Subtitle:SetHeight(32)
    frame.Subtitle:SetPoint("TopLeft", frame.Title, "BottomLeft", 0, -12)
    frame.Subtitle:SetPoint("Right", frame, -32, 0)
    frame.Subtitle:SetNonSpaceWrap(true)
    frame.Subtitle:SetJustifyH("Left")
    frame.Subtitle:SetJustifyV("Top")
    local notes = GetAddOnMetadata(addonName, "Notes")
    frame.Subtitle:SetText(notes)
end

The about panel here is just a template.

@Resike thank you for the code, I put it to use.

I cant seem to get my function for the options to work.

I can see my frame, I can see the checkbox created with it checked but when I uncheck it nothing changes. (see image below)

    frame.EnableAddon:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)
        local checked = not not self:GetChecked()
        PlaySound(checked and "igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOn" or "igMainmenuOptionCheckBoxOff")
        cfg.unitframesEnable = checked
    end)

On the second line there's no need to do that "not not" bit -- GetChecked now returns a proper boolean, since Patch 6.0.2, so you can just use its return value directly.

Other than that, I'm not sure what you're expecting to happen when you check or uncheck that box -- you don't check the saved "unitframesEnable" value anywhere (other than in an OnDisable function that isn't called anywhere) so changing it shouldn't have any effect on anything.

[cokedrivers]

@Phanx - I was using your code from your addon BetterBattlePetTooltip-6.0.2.66 as a guide for the checkbox.

As for the OnDisable() I remember from when I tried to use ace this function was used and figured it would come into play sometime during this process.

What I would like this check box to do is enable the addon if check disable if not checked.

In the future I will be trying to add the sliders for the scale of the frames.

Hope this helps with what im trying to accomplish.

Question: Savedvariables are pretty much for different profiles correct. So if I just want it simple I could do something like:

local enableUnitframes = true
 
-- then I could do
if enableUnitframes ~= true then return end

Then be done with it and only change setting in the lua file correct.

I'm realizing simple is better for noobies.

OnEnable and OnDisable are methods specific to the AceAddon-3.0 library. You're not using that as far as I can see in the code you posted, so unless you're writing your own system that uses methods by those names, they will never be relevant to your addon.

Originally Posted by cokedrivers What I would like this check box to do is enable the addon if check disable if not checked.

If you want to enable/disable the entire addon you don't need a checkbox for that, since the default UI already provides a checkbox to enable/disable your addon. Adding your own checkbox anyway would be rather confusing for users, since once they un-check it and disable the addon, then your checkbox is no longer available (since the addon that creates it is disabled) and they can't use it to re-enable your addon.

If you just want it to enable/disable part of your addon then you should check the saved variable when that part of your addon loads, and if it says that part should be disabled, don't continue loading. For example:

        cUnitframesDB = initDB(defaults, cUnitframesDB)
        cfg = cUnitframesDB 

        -- Unregister ADDON_LOADED Event (move this up to here)
        frame:UnregisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED")

        if not cfg.unitframesEnable then return end -- not enabled, stop here

        -- Load Functions
        self:OptionsAddonLoaded()
        self:ChangeNameBackground()

Originally Posted by cokedrivers Question: Savedvariables are pretty much for different profiles correct.

No, and your code doesn't support profiles -- your saved variables table just saves settings. Profiles are whole sets of settings.

Originally Posted by cokedrivers Then be done with it and only change setting in the lua file correct.

Yes, though if you do it that way, there's no point in creating a variable, only to read it once on the next line. This would be simpler:

-- Remove the two dashes in front of the line below this one to disable this module:
-- do return end
-- To re-enable the module later, add two dashes to the beginning of the line above this one.

Originally Posted by cokedrivers I'm realizing simple is better for noobies.

While that is generally true, changing a value in a Lua file is the opposite of simple for "noobies" -- even if it really is a simple action, most non-technical people will hear/read the words "open the code in Notepad" and just give up before they even try.

[Resike]

I not sure whats wrong with your code, but if you don't use ace then you have to build the EnableAddon and DisableAddon functions for yourself.

frame.EnableAddon:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)
    PlaySound(checked and "igMainMenuOptionCheckBoxOn" or "igMainmenuOptionCheckBoxOff")
    local checked = self:GetChecked()
    if checked then
        Addon:EnableAddon()
    else
        Addon:DisableAddon()
    end
    cfg.unitframesEnable = checked
end)
 
function Addon:EnableAddon()
    -- Reregister events and show stuff.
end
 
function Addon:DisableAddon()
    -- Unregister events and hide stuff.
end

[Phanx]

Originally Posted by Resike I not sure whats wrong with your code, but if you don't use ace then you have to build the EnableAddon and DisableAddon functions for yourself.

I would advise not doing this right now, since it would require rewriting your entire addon to support doing and undoing all its changes to the default UI frames on the fly. Just let the user know they have to reload the UI after enabling/disabling parts of the addon.

[cokedrivers]

@Phanx the noobie I was talking about is me :P

@Resike thanks for all your help.

This is what I'm going to stick with I'm not going to make it public so no need to add options because I wont change anything cause it is all the items I want

Thanks for all the help.

I don't want to use the EnableAddOn API, i just simply want to show/hide frames with thoose functions, it's better then disable the whole addon, since you can reenable it on the fly at any time.

The "you" in that post was directed at Cokedrivers, as following your previous advice (what I'd quoted) would require him to rewrite everything to support disabling/reenabling on the fly, which would be a lot of work and largely a waste of time since users are generally not toggling major features like "unit frames" on the fly.
