Questions about "SecureGroupHeaders"

[Layback_]

Hi all,

I would like to ask some questions regarding "SecureGroupHeaders" template.

So, I was trying to make raid frames with oUF, but seems like these questions are more related to "SecureGroupHeaders" template and its configuration attributes.

Here's what it currently looks like:


* Name texts are hidden at the moement

and here's a code:

C.Raid26to40 = oUF:SpawnHeader(
    "Raid26to40",
    nil,
    "custom [@raid26, exists] show; hide",
    -- attributes
    "initial-width", G["unitframe"]["raid"]["width"],
    "initial-height", G["unitframe"]["raid"]["height"],
    "oUF-initialConfigFunction", [[
        local header = self:GetParent();
        self:SetWidth(header:GetAttribute("initial-width"));
        self:SetHeight(header:GetAttribute("initial-height"));
    ]],
    "showRaid", true,
    "showParty", false,
    "showPlayer", true,
    "showSolo", false,
    "point", "LEFT",
    "xOffset", 8,
    "maxColumns", 8,
    "unitsPerColumn", 5,
    "columnAnchorPoint", "TOP",
    "columnSpacing", 8,
    "groupBy", "GROUP",
    "groupFilter", "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
    "groupingOrder", "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8"
);
C.Raid26to40:SetPoint(unpack(G["unitframe"]["raid"]["point"]));

1. So, each column represents each group (or party), but once the player leaves or joins a raid group, the order just gets messed up.
(For example, when the member from Group 4 leaves, all other raid members behind that person gets pushed forward. So, even a person from Group 5 is forcibly displayed on Group 4...)

2. Just like a default raid frames, I would like make each group grows vertically rather than the one shown above, but I ain't sure where or which configuration attribute I should actually modify to achieve this.

(EXTRA) 3. Would there be any possible way to count the size of such table?

local table = {};
table.ABC = "ABC";
table.DEF = "DEF";
table.GHI = "GHI";

I've tried with #table and select("#", table), but none of them seemed to be working.

Heres what i've been using hope it helps in some way

local Aftermathh_Raid25 = oUF:SpawnHeader(nil, nil, "solo,party,raid",
    "showPlayer", true,
    "showRaid", true,
    "showParty", true,
    "showSolo", true,
    "xoffset", 4,
    "yOffset", -4,
    "point", "LEFT",
    "columnAnchorPoint", "TOP",
    "groupFilter", "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
    "groupingOrder", "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
    "groupBy", "GROUP",
    "sortMethod", "GROUP",
    "maxColumns", 8,
    "unitsPerColumn", 5,
    "columnSpacing", 4,
    "oUF-initialConfigFunction", [[
        self:SetWidth(62)
        self:SetHeight(40)
        self:SetScale(1)
    ]]
)
Aftermathh_Raid25:SetPoint("LEFT", UIParent, 221, 15)

1. I believe you need to create one header for each group to achieve this functionality.

2. Don't know. There'll be an attribute for that.

3. No shortcut. Use pairs to count all entries.

Thanks for both replies, Game92 and Lombra.

Just made some modifications based on Lombra's advice and works like charm

2nd question was also resolved!

You can find a full list of secure group header attributes with descriptions in SecureGroupHeaders.lua:

Hi Phanx,

yeah, I'm aware of that, but was unsure of which attribute I should have modified.

Probably I was scared of doin some experiments and failing ...

Thank you for reply anyways!
