Calendar Invite Pending

[laukond]

Hi forums :-)
I am looking for a neat little code that, instead of the calendar-icon keeps blinking all the time; then it should just show the (?).
Hope you know what I mean and call help.
Have a great day.

Are you looking for a way to just disable the pulsing glow animation?

Edit: Something simple like this should technically do the trick:

local f = CreateFrame("frame");
f:RegisterEvent("CALENDAR_UPDATE_PENDING_INVITES");
f:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_ENTERING_WORLD");
f:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self,event,...)
    if GameTimeFrame then
        if GameTimeCalendarInvitesGlow then
            GameTimeCalendarInvitesGlow:Show() = GameTimeCalendarInvitesGlow:Hide()
            GameTimeCalendarInvitesGlow:Hide()
        end
    end
end);

This line is not valid Lua:

GameTimeCalendarInvitesGlow:Show() = GameTimeCalendarInvitesGlow:Hide()

It will first evaluate the right side of the equation, and come up with a nil value (since the Hide method on a frame does not return any values). Then it will try to assign that value to the left side of the equation, but since the left side is not a variable (but also a nil value) it will fail and trigger a Lua error. It's bascially the same as trying to do:

4 = 6

I think you meant to do this:

GameTimeCalendarInvitesGlow.Show = GameTimeCalendarInvitesGlow.Hide

... which will evaluate the right side to come up with the actual function that runs when you call the "Hide" method on the frame, and assign it to the "Show" method name on the same name, so that when you do call the "Show" method (or more likely, Blizzard's code calls it) you call the "Hide" method instead.

Derp, yea that's what I meant.

Hey there Thank you for your reply, but I it is the blinking I want to stop.
For example:
I'm having a pending invite for an event.
Instead of half of the time showing [thedate] and half of the time [?] <- as in pending invite. Then just [?] if I have an invite pending

But your code helps a little along the way so far
