-> layout.lua
-> YOUR_LAYOUT.toc
2. Edit your .toc-file, so the embedded oUF-version is used
Code:
## Interface: 30300
## Author: YOUR_NAME
## Title: YOUR_LAYOUT
## X-oUF: embedded_oUF
embedded_oUF/oUF.xml
layout.lua
Please note the "##X-oUF" and the "embedded_oUF/oUF.xml". Here's the first part of the magic!
3. Edit your layout.lua-file, so it will use the embedded oUF-version or looking for a globally visible one.
Start your layout.lua with
Code:
local ADDON_NAME, ns = ... -- get the addons namespace to exchange functions between core and layout
local oUF = ns.oUF or oUF -- get oUF
assert(oUF, "YOUR_LAYOUT was unable to locate oUF install.")
The first-line fetches the addon-name and the addon's namespace (ns) from the vararg list.
The second line will look for oUF (it may be found in the addon's namespace, if it is embedded, or it may be globally visible, if you have a "normal" oUF-installation) and make it locally visible, so you will use the right one, when calling oUF:Spawn (for example).
Now it should work with the embedded oUF-installation. |
Thank you very much for taking your time to do this
However, it still doesn't work!
- I made a new addons *just* with the UF's to be sure nothing else is interfering with it. Appereantly, theres a problem with loading oUF since it throws this:
