Global config in xml
 
I dont know how to description the question i wanna ask......for example, I do this in Config.lua:
Lua Code:
  1. local EKPlates, ns = ...
  2.  
  3.     ns[1] = {} -- C, config
  4.     ns[2] = {} -- G, globals (Optionnal)
  5.  
  6. local C, G = unpack(select(2, ...))
  7.  
  8.     -- config
  9.     G.norFont = STANDARD_TEXT_FONT

It's fine but now I need to make a xml template:

Code:
<FontString parentKey="value" font="Interface\AddOns\EKPlates\media\font.ttf" justifyH="CENTER" outline="NORMAL">
how to get media/font/texture file config in xml?

I know this is wrong

Code:
<FontString parentKey="value" font=G.norFont justifyH="CENTER" outline="NORMAL">
but I dont know the correct way......

You can only use information from lua in xml by using globals. xml doesn't understand ... like lua does.

I would suggest setting the FontString in XML to inherit from an ingame font initially, then change it from Lua when your config loads using Fontstring:SetFont().

Alternatively, you can try your luck with CreateFont() and inheriting it in your XML.
Lua Code:
  1. local NorFont=CreateFont("EKPlates_NorFont");-- This is the global name we'll use when inheriting this font
  2. NorFont:CopyFontObject("GameFontHightlightSmall");--    Initiate to an ingame font
  3. NorFont:SetFont("Interface\\AddOns\\EKPlates\\media\\font.ttf",12,"OUTLINE");-- Set our custom font
XML Code:
  1. <FontString parentKey="value" inherits="EKPlates_NorFont" justifyH="CENTER">

Note: Last time I tried creating fonts in Lua, there was a bug where the font couldn't be used even after using Font:SetFont() unless I initially inherited from an ingame font first.

It's useful, Thank you very much! :banana:
