right lets start from the start.

now i have a dri its called abbrev inside this i have

abbrev.toc and abbrev.lua

the toc i have abbrev.lua to call the lua.

and inside the abbrev.lua
i have

Code:

  classabbrev = {
      DRUID = "DR",
      HUNTER = "HT",
      MAGE = "MG",
      PALADIN = "PD",
      PRIEST = "PT",
      ROGUE = "RG",
      SHAMAN = "SH",
      WARLOCK = "WL",
      WARRIOR = "WR",
      DEATHKNIGHT = "DK",
  };

now i need somthing to call this into the oUF_Classic

now to do this i would like to add it next to the L80 "HT" of the mana bar

so i looked over and see that what was used was

Code:

		-- Info string
		local info = pp:CreateFontString(nil, "OVERLAY", "GameFontNormal")
		info:SetPoint("LEFT", 2, -1)
		info:SetPoint("RIGHT", -2, 0)
		info:SetJustifyH"LEFT"
		info:SetFont(GameFontNormal:GetFont(), 11)
		info:SetTextColor(1, 1, 1)

		self:Tag(info, 'L[level][shortclassification] [raidcolor][smartclass]')
		self.Info = info

so i see it uses smartclass that in game shows Hunter so there has to be a way i could add classabbev into that self:Tag

ie

Code:

self:Tag(info, 'L[level][shortclassification] [raidcolor][classabbrev]')

but that dont work due to it seems to be looking into the OUF code for classabbrev so i have to tell it otherwise.

so maybe the use of

Code:

oUF.Tags['shortclass'] = function(unit)
     local _, class = UnitClass(unit)
     return classabbrev[class]
end
oUF.TagEvents['shortclass'] = 'UNIT_NAME_CHANGED'

and then call

Code:

self:Tag(info, 'L[level][shortclassification] [raidcolor][shortclass]')
