Slash Commands

[suipsyco]

I've read so many posts and tutorials on this but I can't find the fault in my code... i have

SlashCmdList["RAIDLOCKREPORT"] = DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Working");
SLASH_RAIDLOCKREPORT1 = "/raidlockreport";
SLASH_RAIDLOCKREPORT2 = "/rlr";

When I run the code I get "Type '/help' for a listing of a few commands."

Drycoded.
Edit: Assuming the addon where you have that code is actually loading without errors.

Thanks that worked! So am I to understand that SlashCmdList[""] need to be a function then?

A function with a single string parameter if needed.

It could be:

SlashCmdList["RAIDLOCKREPORT"] = function(msg) 
    if msg then
        DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage(msg) 
    else
        DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Working") 
    end
end
SLASH_RAIDLOCKREPORT1 = "/raidlockreport";
SLASH_RAIDLOCKREPORT2 = "/rlr";

if you type "/rlr 123" it would print 123.

Gotcha, so, the slash command is working, but the goal of the slash command is to show the frame again after its been closed. Once again, everywhere I check, I need to use the Show() function for the frame. When I run this code, the "Working" message still shows so i know that the slash is working, but the frame doesn't show and when I hit enter to send the command the text stays in the bar.

Also, aside from the book, where can i find these answers so i don't have to ask so often? Google is failing me only giving me poorly descriptive API pages...

SlashCmdList["RAIDLOCKREPORT"] = function() 
    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Working");
    UIConfig:Show()
end
SLASH_RAIDLOCKREPORT1 = "/raidlockreport";
SLASH_RAIDLOCKREPORT2 = "/rlr";


local UIConfig = CreateFrame("Frame", "MUI_BuffFrame", UIParent, "BasicFrameTemplateWithInset");

wowprogramming.com and wowpedia.org are two good sites.

You should be getting an error which is why you're seeing this behaviour so, you need to turn on "Display lua Errors" in the Interface\Help options or better yet get
BugGrabber and BugSack

Anything local needs to be declared before it is called so in this case to create a toggle,

local UIConfig = CreateFrame("Frame", "MUI_BuffFrame", UIParent, "BasicFrameTemplateWithInset");
UIConfig:SetSize(50, 50)
UIConfig:ClearAllPoints()
UIConfig:SetPoint("CENTER")

SlashCmdList["RAIDLOCKREPORT"] = function() 
    DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Working");
    if not UIConfig:IsShown() then
        UIConfig:Show()
    else
        UIConfig:Hide()
    end
end
SLASH_RAIDLOCKREPORT1 = "/raidlockreport";
SLASH_RAIDLOCKREPORT2 = "/rlr";

Edit: Updated so you can see something.
