Does something like this exist to show the duration of sacred shield/beacon of light easily?

In my opinion this has nothing to do specifically to oUF, but you could write a tag or make a buff display with the new filter function in the 'consistency' branch of oUF found on haste's git.

Alright, managed to write something like this:

oUF.Tags["[sacredshield]"] = function(u)
    local i, string = 1, ""
    -- name, rank, icon, count, debuffType, duration, expirationTime, unitCaster, isStealable = UnitAura("unit", index or ["name", "rank"][, "filter"]) 
    local name, _, _, _, _, _, _, fromwho = UnitAura(u, i)
    while name do
        if name == "Sacred Shield" then
            if fromwho == "player" then
                string = string .. "|cffFFFF00.|r"
            else
                string = string .. "|cffCCCC00.|r"
            end
        end
        i = i + 1;
        name, _, _, _, _, _, _, fromwho = UnitAura(u, i)
    end
    return string
end
oUF.TagEvents["[sacredshield]"] = "UNIT_AURA"

I want to see when other paladins in my raid have buffed someone with sacred shield, now for my question: is this the effecient way to do it, or should I do it another way?

In what way will UnitAura handle multiple buffs with the same name?

PS: writing this for use with oUF_Freebgrid

This is a bit simpler and still does what you want I think.

oUF.Tags["[sacredshield]"] = function(u)
 local name, _,_,_,_,_,_, fromwho,_ = UnitAura(u, "Sacred Shield")
 if (fromwho == "player") then
   return UnitAura(u, "Sacred Shield") and "|cffFFFF00.|r" or ""
 else
   return UnitAura(u, "Sacred Shield") and "|cffCCCC00.|r" or ""
end
oUF.TagEvents["[rnw]"] = "UNIT_AURA"

That's nice, but sacred shield is actually two buffs, one as the buff and one as the proc, after you get hit. I would like to see both. I also want to see if any other paladin has cast sacred shield on the unit in addition to me, so I know wether or not I should recast it any time.

The code freebaser gave you will clearly indicate if you casted the spell or not.

Can you see where I am going?
