Secure Group Headers

[danltiger]

I've been having problems getting SecureGroupHeaderTemplate to work. Yes, I've looked at examples in oUF, Grid, and other forum posts. I imagine I'm missing something completely simple, though.

Just as a simple test, I have this small bit of code:

-- Code removed: See updated post, below.

I've also got my character in a raid group. No luck. I expected to see that the client code generated a button frame for me. Are there additional required attributes that I need to set?

Thanks for the help :-)

You need to use the showRaid attribute for it will create buttons for raid members, see: http://wowprogramming.com/docs/secur.../Group_Headers for more information.

S,

Thanks for the quick response. To be sure, I'd messed with setting the attributes before. (In fact, I had quite a bit of code, but I keep trimming more and more to just get something that works)

Here's what I'm using, now: (edit: which, after testing, did not work. I'm a little stumped)

-- Updated: See below.

The book apparently has some good examples, but I really hate buying something that'll end up being firewood in a few years.

Ok, after messing around for quite a while, I managed to break it down to this:

local function OnShowButton(button)
   local unitid = button:GetAttribute("unit") 
   local name = UnitName(unitid)
   print(unitid..":"..name)
end

local function ConfigureUnitButton(button, other)
   -- No attribute data, at this point.
   -- When the button is shown, data will be there.
   button:SetScript("OnShow", OnShowButton)
end

local function CreateRaidFrame()
   local name = "PRHeader1"
   local template = "SecureGroupHeaderTemplate"
   
   frame = CreateFrame("Frame", name, UIParent, template)
   frame:SetAttribute("template", "SecureUnitButtonTemplate")
   frame:SetAttribute("templateType", "Button")
   frame:SetAttribute("groupFilter", "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8")
   frame:SetAttribute("showRaid", true)
   frame:SetAttribute("showPlayer", true)
   frame:SetAttribute("showSolo", true)
   frame.initialConfigFunction = ConfigureUnitButton
   return frame
end

local RaidFrame =  CreateRaidFrame()
RaidFrame:Show()

That seems to be just about the minimum code to get the frames operational.
