So I've been having a lot of issue with [ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED] errors, I think its mostly do to my Datapanel and were its placed (below the actionbars), which in turns makes me need to lift them up and I believe this is what is messing with stuff.

So I'm trying something new....

Below are screen shots of the new location for the datapanel/datatexts tell me what you think if you like it or not... Ill post a before and after screenshot for those that have not seen it yet.

You may want to look at LibJostle to see how it handles doing this without breaking things.

Ok you are a life saver seriously. No moving anything now all I needed to do was add the LibJostle and then change my code to:

function Datatext:SetDataPanel()

	if db.location ~= "top" then
		Datapanel:SetPoint("BOTTOM", UIParent, 0, 0)
		Datapanel:SetWidth(1200)
		if jostle then
			jostle:RegisterBottom(Datapanel)
		end		
	else 		
		Datapanel:SetPoint("TOP", UIParent, 0, 0)
		Datapanel:SetWidth(SCREEN_WIDTH)
		if jostle then
			jostle:RegisterTop(Datapanel)
		end
	end
end

EDIT:
And BAM!!!!!!!!!!! everything moves without any problems. Top or Bottom.

Thanks again for saving my arse.

EDIT#2:
Not sure why, im not getting any errors from bug sack but my target frame keep wondering over above my Playerframe (see screenshot) it only seems to happen after I get in combat (as something attacks me).

LibJostle-3.0 that I'm using.
Datatext.lua this is the current datatext file im using.

The only think I change was added the LibJostle to my addon and the little code.

If I disable the datatex in the options it does not move my target frame.

Edit#3
Its accually the Lib it self cause even without my datapanel the target frame moves over the player frame.

Just right-click on the target frame, unlock it, and move it where you want it to go. I don't think Jostle was ever updated to handle the movable default unitframes, so just don't tell it to move stuff away from the top. Move the unit frames yourself (or write code to simulate moving them yourself) and move the minimap yourself since that's trivial.

I was able to fix my issue by marking out the frames I didn't want Jostle to move in the lib file itself.

local blizzardFrames = {
	--'PlayerFrame',
	--'TargetFrame',
	--'MinimapCluster',
	--'PartyMemberFrame1',
	--'TicketStatusFrame',
	--'WorldStateAlwaysUpFrame',
	'MainMenuBar',
	'MultiBarRight',
	--'CT_PlayerFrame_Drag',
	--'CT_TargetFrame_Drag',
	--'Gypsy_PlayerFrameCapsule',
	--'Gypsy_TargetFrameCapsule',
	--'ConsolidatedBuffs',
	--'BuffFrame',
	--'DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME',
	--'ChatFrame2',
	--'GroupLootFrame1',
	--'TutorialFrameParent',
	--'FramerateLabel',
	--'DurabilityFrame',
	--'CastingBarFrame',
}

I tired to just shorten the code myself and only do the bottom functions (beings the option for my datatext to be on top now is gone) but all kinds of thinks started to happen.

Thanks again for the suggestion.

That's not a good solution, as if the user has any other addons installed that use the same lib, your modified version may get overwritten, or may overwrite the other version, and either way will result in one addon not getting the functionality it expects. If you don't want Jostle to move the frames at the top of the screen, just don't call the RegisterTop method to tell it to move frames at the top of the screen.
