This highly configurable mod allows players to associate buttons to unit frames. It is meant as a replacement to GroupButtons which stopped functioning with the 2.0 patch in December 2006. The mod extends the capabilities of GroupButtons by providing these additional features:
New: Support for default profiles for spec1 and spec 2 New: Wizards for Group and Profile generation Please use them ! New: LDB button (and menu) New: Default Buttons now always use the Prefix 'SB_' This is an abbreviation for StandardButton. I recommend to use 'CB_' as prefix for custom buttons. New: '$' self condition for cast buttons (buff, debuff etc.) Example: CB_Renew,buff,Renew,$Renew This custom buutton will only chnge to the state BUFFED if the destination unit is buffed with your OWN Renew. New: '!' inverts conditions for cast buttons (buff, debuff etc.) New: new debuff condition "Death" A button with this condition is only shown if the destination unit is dead. New: new debuff condition "Purge" A button with this condition is only shown if the destination unit has at least one buff to purge. New: two keywords for exclude-units: 'hostile' and 'friendly' Example: MyGroupName,SB_Renew,*,hostile This button will be hidden on hostile units (= it will only be shown on friendly units) New: Spell ranks have been removed (multiranking too) New: Macro buttons support now '[target=unit#]' Here unit# will be rpalced at runtime with the unit the button is attached to. Example: /target [target=unit#] Improved: Verification of buttons while configuring the addon And last but not least: !!! Improved: Internals are mostly rewritten from scratch for better performance !!! Please refer to 'z_historic_Changelog.txt' for older changes.

I'd say just download the latest beta version, and ignore the rest/older stuff. Its best to try and debug having just the latest version. Remember to delete your configuration .lua file too under your account folder subhierarchy, before running the latest version, and to clear out your XUB folder before installing the newest beta version.
What version of Windows (or are you using a Mac?) are you using? Where is WoW installed for you? Is it installed under the "Program Files" directory, or under the "Users/Public/Games" directory? Maybe you have a "not enough rights to write to the lua file" problem? You mentioned before that you see the .lua file change with your new settings; did you actually open the file with a Notepad/editor and see if the spell/button was in there? Can you upload the file somewhere so we can see it, or at least copy the text of the file and paste it here in a message? I'm trying to remember if WAY back with the early versions of XUB it wrote configuration files a different way than it does now, and you're dealing with an old/new version problem? I'm not sure about this at all, Tay could chime in on this. But if you delete the config files, delete the old XUB add-on folder, and just reinstall the latest, and try again, that would eliminate the problem (if I'm right about this). I've uploaded my configuration file for my disc priest to XUB's Google Code web site, HERE. After removing the old install and reinstalling the latest beta, try this configuration file, and see if it helps you out. Remember that this config file is set to use Shadowed UI, so you'll have to go into the XUB configuration and change the UI from Shadowed back to Blizzard (or whatever one you are using). Let me know how any of this works. If it doesn't, you'll need to upload YOUR XUB configuration file somewhere so we can take a look at it and see if there's any obvious problems with it. Good luck.

Did you confirm that you have the right XUB options settings for what UI framework you are using? If you leave it on the Blizzard default, then use another UI instead, that may cause the buttons to disappear.
For example, XUB may want to attach the button to a Blizzard UI frame but you are using Shadowed UI frame, so it doesn't find a frame to add a button to and doesn't display the button. You mentioned you were using a non-default Blizzard UI, but had disabled all other add-ons while diagnosing this problem. If you did that, you would have to have gone in to the XUB options and tell XUB that you are no longer using your own UI but the Blizzard default one. And if you did that, and re-enabled your other add-ons, you would have to go back and tell XUB that you are no longer using the default Blizzard UI but a specialized UI. Look at the third window in this picture for the "Unit Frames" Options screen I am talking about! Also, check where the "Anchor Button Under" configuration setting is set to. See the second window, upper right-hand corner, of the screenpic I just linked in the previous paragraph. Finally, under the 'grasping at straws' category, try testing with another spell and not PW:S. That spell used to have special conditioning and a speciall XUB file to handle it, though it no longer has it. Try a regular Heal or a Renew, something like that instead. Otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you. If needed, I could upload my XUB config file for my disc priest and see if you replace your config .lua file with me if that makes things work again, but that would be a long shot.

Thank you for sharing, Cosmic Cleric!
I just tested to turn off all addons but Extreme, and it still doesn't save the changes. Any ideas what could be the problem? |

Hmm so I did something "special" and messed up. It simply won't save the changes on this addon, I log off properly, I tried the /console reloadui. I did place it into Interface>AddOns, it works, I make buttons, they cast spells, etc, just won't save changes.
Changes to other UI elements are being saved though. Any ideas what I did wrong? |

@Carolina:
Cosmic Cleric's explanation are correct (as always ). The X/Y option is gone, and will not return. Screenshots are not up to date (yet). Instead of adjusting all buttons globally with the X/Y option, it's better to arrange them while adding a group to a frame. It's much more versatile this way. It's done like this: Code:
GROUP specifications: Heal1,Renew,* PROFILE specifications: normal,player,Heal1,10,50 Concerning the saving of your settings: The settings for ALL addons are saved at logout. If you were not leaving the game with a normal logout, then no save will be done. To circumvent this, I always type '/console reloadui' after changing my settings. This forces the saving of all addon settings I play a disc priest myself, so I will post some examples when I am at home again. @ALL: I am in the Cataclysm beta, and got the basics working. The above example is working already. So instead of updating screenshots I am just updating the addon for cataclyms - which might prove more usefull in the end Have fun tay

Hmm I expressed myself wrong.
I did the /xub p <profilename>, but once I logged out, all I did got erased. Is there a command to do once all is done so it is saved? (other then the button after "verify"). Thank you for the tip on the high lvl/low lvl character copy/paste! And another thing for the person who runs the website for the mod: Here: http://xub.abits.biz/forum/index.php?mode=thread&id=5 There is an error there. It says "BR" for separated lines, but its "CR" (or at least it is what worked for me, after reading the shaman example posted). I play as a "disco" priest, any tips or good examples are welcome! Or some UI screenshots

Carolina,
To your first point, what you described is done on purpose. Each character gets their own 'profile' of options and button configurations. What I did, when I used to play WoW, was use the Windows copy and paste function (Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V, respectively), and saved my button configurations to Notepad files, one for each character. Then I'd copy and paste over the relevant button configurations. Had to set the Options manually, but that was quick enough to do. Be aware though, that if you have a level 80 Pally (for example) and you create a new level 1 Pally, you can't just copy/paste the 80's button configuration over to the 1's Pally, as most of the spells, abilities are not known yet to the 1 Pally and XUB will generate errors. You'll have to add them to the 1 Pally as they level. To your second point, I'll let the devs chime in here, but I think you can get away with just downloading the latest beta and installing that. Downloading/installing the first version then overwriting it with the latest beta version would work too, but I'd just try the latest beta version first. Good luck!

Hello,
I am no mod/addon expert, so while installing this, I understood the instructions just fine (at least the quick start I could make, and the buttons appeared and worked), but: - What I did, did not get saved when I logged over another character. - My "Options" screen doesn't have the X/Y options, and some other differences from the screenshot in the instructions. What I have installed is the first file and the last beta update. I installed the first, then copied and glued the contents of the beta. Did I do something wrong there? Edit: and if it helps, I am using it with XPerl

Tay, TY for the new version!
I found one bug, and reported it in the comments section for ß19 (http://www.wowinterface.com/download...17328#comments).
