Library issue(s)?

[Sweetsour]

So I just released a beta version of my addon and users have been experiencing many issues that I haven't experienced on my end.

To start, the interface options panel is acting strangely. The top picture is what the interface options should look like.


The following is a screenshot a user sent me that shows the subcategories in incorrect places as well as the "ShamanAuras" category isn't there.


Additionally, I tried to run my addon on a fresh copy of WoW (empty addon folder and new WTF folder). It showed up in my addon list, but it didn't appear in the interface options and also threw back an error when I tried my slash commands.

Here's all the relevant code:

Well, the first thing that jumps out at me is that your "GetSettingsOptions" function should return the "settings_options" table, but doesn't.

However, since you call this function pretty much on load, there's not much reason for it to exist at all. Just define the table right there where you define the "settings_options" variable on the first line, and then refer to "settings_options" directly instead of calling GetSettingsOptions() ... or just define the table inline in the call to RegisterOptionsTable, since it looks like you only ever refer to it the one time.

Apologies, I was out of town the past few days, or I would have responded to this sooner.

As you pointed out, I should have included my function for settings_options in the chunk of code I posted. Though, that was only a portion of that function, but leaving that out was an important detail, sorry!

I ended up figuring out what the issue was, though. Somewhere along the lines, I forgot to add "LibAboutPanel" into my Libs folder. Not sure how I missed that, but when I added it, everything was good to go!
