Uiparent_managed_frame_positions

working on getting The "Castbars" addon working again.

i know there are multiple errors beyond this one but i am at a loss for this
i am unable to locate any info about UIPARENT_MANAGED_FRAME_POSITIONS

here is the error and the code block, any of you that are considered brilliant want to help guide me through this? i would be appreciative.

Code:

1x Interface/AddOns/Castbars/Castbars.lua:1344: attempt to index global 'UIPARENT_MANAGED_FRAME_POSITIONS' (a nil value)
[string "@Interface/AddOns/Castbars/Castbars.lua"]:1344: in function <Interface/AddOns/Castbars/Castbars.lua:1243>
[string "=[C]"]: ?
[string "@Interface/AddOns/Ace3/AceAddon-3.0-13/AceAddon-3.0.lua"]:66: in function <Interface/AddOns/Ace3/AceAddon-3.0/AceAddon-3.0.lua:61>
[string "@Interface/AddOns/Ace3/AceAddon-3.0-13/AceAddon-3.0.lua"]:494: in function `InitializeAddon'
[string "@Interface/AddOns/Ace3/AceAddon-3.0-13/AceAddon-3.0.lua"]:619: in function <Interface/AddOns/Ace3/AceAddon-3.0/AceAddon-3.0.lua:611>

Lua Code:

UIPARENT_MANAGED_FRAME_POSITIONS["PlayerCastingBarFrame"] = nil;

Not sure if it can be used in the same way as before but it looks like it has been removed and MIGHT have been replaced with a mixin with a similar name linked to particular frames.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge in this area can confirm or give an example of how you can use it in your situation.

if this is the case it may need a total rewrite.... i was afraid of that.

Sadly, looks like the Castbars addon will need some serious lovin' to get working again.

The old OnLoad call:
CastingBarFrame_OnLoad (self, unit, showTradeSkills, showShield)

The new OnLoad call:
CastingBarMixin:OnLoad(unit, showTradeSkills, showShield)

Looks like every function has changed so the code will need to be painstakingly altered to reflect the new functions, just for starters.

So, the addon may be fixable, but I wouldn't expect a quick turnaround.
