XanUI ToDo: Switching Profiles / Configs through own Addon.

[XanUI]

Hi!

I have some problems with my UI Compilation XanUI.

I saw users of my UI Streaming and recognized that some AddOns do not switch their profiles as they should.
I am handling my AddOn Profiles and Configs with Reflux. I tried emulating them like described from the AddOn Author but it did not work yet...

The AddOns i am having problems with are:
BigWigs (Standart Profile active instead of XanUI or XanUIHeal)
MoveAnything Standart (Standart Profile active instead of XanUI or XanUIHeal)
TidyPlates Threat Plates (does not activate in Tidy Plates Themes)
Gnosis... Bugging around also

Now my question is: can i call a method from an own extern Addon which switches them?
like

 BigWigs.setProfile("XanUI")

or something... i must admit i am a total LUA noob... and these problems above - i could not solve them yet...

/tldr: i cant get prat/moveanything and bigwigs to change profiles with reflux properly, it works on my chars but does not work on other users of my compilation

BigWigs supports profiles natively through AceDB. If you're emulating a profile for it, that's probably why it doesn't work correctly. I don't know about MoveAnything or Tidy Plates, but I'm pretty sure Gnosis also uses AceDB. Make sure you don't have Reflux's profile emulation feature set up for those addons.

Thanks phanx! I do emulate bw, move anything and prat at the moment, so this could be the issue. Should I use the ignore command or clear all with cleardb and add the other emulating SVs manually?

TidyPlates Threat Plates (does not activate in Tidy Plates Themes)

I have shared my "TidyPlates Threat Plates" settings for years with my UI. You need to set it up in the TidyPlatesPanel.lua: go to line 13 and change

local defaultPrimaryTheme = "Neon/|cFFFF4400Damage"
local defaultSecondaryTheme = "Neon/|cFF3782D1Tank"

to to the exact name of skin you are using. Look for the right name ingame inside the TidyPlates menu.

BTW you shoud liste/link the AddOns/texturs used in your UI

Prat also uses AceDB (unless that's changed recently) so emulating its profiles probably won't work correctly either.

I don't know enough about Reflux to answer that question. If "ignore" removes the specified saved variable from emulation, that should probably work. If it makes Reflux ignore the specified addon entirely, that probably won't work. At this point, though, since you've got multiple problem addons, it may be better to just clear all your Reflux settings and set it up again, paying more attention to which addons natively support profiles this time around.

Thanks for the halp guys! Worked out perfectly...
