Storing values/defaults in 1 file

frohanss · 03-20-11, 08:09 PM

Hello all,

how can i setup 1 file to store defaults values in?
Like backgroundcolor, font & fontcolor and so on and bring it into another file?

Atm im making different UI mods that uses the same color values and such, and it's a bit pain to go throu them all when im testing out textures, colors++.

Is there a easy way?

only if you write an addon that tweaks the settings of the other addons and then store them in your addons personal wtf file as far as I can think of.

Create a named frame in the global namespace (literally every frame is in the global namespace) and put your values into an table, which is "attached" to that frame.
You should now be able to access these values/the table from other addons.

But keep in mind, that addons are loaded in a specific order, to be really sure that your values are available, you should add the addon with this global frame to the others .toc.
