If nothing else is specified addons are loading in alphabetical order. It just so happens that the rButtonTemplate addons are loaded before rFilter.

Hi Zork,

As long as the addon is referenced in the optionalDeps it will work

As I wrote in the previous post ... is it possible it works the same without this ?

Actually I have in my rFilter_GM:

Lua Code:

## Interface: 70100
## Author: zork
## Title: rFilter_Gm
## Notes: Layout and optional theme for rFilter
## RequiredDeps: rLib, rFilter
## OptionalDeps: rButtonTemplate
 
init.lua
buff.lua
debuff.lua
cooldown.lua
theme.lua

But I see the rfilter button skinned in the right way with rButtonTemplate_layout actually in use (but not here referenced).

Any idea ? It is supposed to work this way ?

As I said before in this way I don't need to hard encode the names of any rButtonTemplate_* layout.

Only now I realize that you could mean the addon that should in OptionalDeps is simply "rButtonTemplate" and not its template ?

Another thing is this:
I think you have to set this:

The actionbutton config variable name is just a name

If the variable name we used is always the same because you choose a name and all use this, a player can use an rFilter_layout and have it skinned by another person's rButtonTemplate_layout.
This because in the toc files there isn't any hardcoded references to the template to use as OptionalDeps.

Sorry about the long post.

Ciaoooo and thanks.

The actionbutton config variable name is just a name. Use the one you have referenced in your optionalDeps. You can give it a more generic name if you want. As long as the addon is referenced in the optionalDeps it will work. You can have both your theme addons as optional deps. Both using the same actionbutton config variable name. Depending on which button theme you activate it will use the desired action button theme to style your buttons.

gmarco An Onyxian Warder Forum posts: 362 File comments: 334 Uploads: 46	Hi Zork, everything works as expected In this way it works nicely but I have to hardcoded somethings: rFilter_Gm/rFilter_Gm.toc: ## OptionalDeps: rButtonTemplate, rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs rFilter_Gm/theme.lua: --check if the button template addon and the action button config theme is available if not rButtonTemplate or not rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs_ActionButtonConfig then return end ----------------------------- -- Actionbutton Config ----------------------------- --load the default button theme local actionButtonConfig = rLib.CopyTable(rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs_ActionButtonConfig) rButtonTemplate_Gm_sr/theme.lua: ----------------------------- -- actionButtonConfig ----------------------------- local actionButtonConfig = {} --make it global rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs_ActionButtonConfig = actionButtonConfig Now I see that I can change this and everything continue to works: rFilter_Gm/rFilter_Gm.toc: ## OptionalDeps: rButtonTemplate Hardcoded OptionalDep "rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs" removed. rFilter_Gm/theme.lua: --check if the button template addon and the action button config theme is available if not rButtonTemplate or not rButtonTemplate_rFilter_ActionButtonConfig then return end ----------------------------- -- Actionbutton Config ----------------------------- --load the default button theme local actionButtonConfig = rLib.CopyTable(rButtonTemplate_rFilter_ActionButtonConfig) rButtonTemplate_Gm_sr/theme.lua: ----------------------------- -- actionButtonConfig ----------------------------- local actionButtonConfig = {} --make it global for rFilter rButtonTemplate_rFilter_ActionButtonConfig = actionButtonConfig In this way I can export a "generic" global rButtonTemplate_rFilter_ActionButtonConfig in every rButtonTemplate_* without have to change anything else. Is this correct ? Thanks again Zork. __________________ This is Unix-Land. In quiet nights, you can hear the Windows machines reboot.

Yes you forgot sth.

This condition has to become false:
https://github.com/zorker/rothui/blo.../theme.lua#L11

And to make that work you need to make your actionbutton config become a global variable in your button theme.
https://github.com/zorker/rothui/blo.../theme.lua#L43

Hi Zork,

sorry for the delay in feedback but I was so busy to merge the latest changes yesterday

I have a problem with the new rFilter and rButtonTemplate.

As you see the rFilter button is not skinned.

I made the following things:

1) Updated and merging the r* addons from latest github

2) make an rFilter_Gm based on your sample.

Lua Code:

# Interface: 70100
## Author: zork
## Title: rFilter_Gm
## Notes: Layout and optional theme for rFilter
## RequiredDeps: rLib, rFilter
## OptionalDeps: rButtonTemplate, rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs
 
init.lua
buff.lua
debuff.lua
cooldown.lua
theme.lua

3) Added the buffs I want to check in rFilter_Gm/buff.lua:

Lua Code:

if L.C.playerClass == "DRUID" then 
    
    -- guardian ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    ---- Guardiano di Elune
    local button = rFilter:CreateBuff(213680,"player",42,{"CENTER",0,-300},"[spec:3][combat]show;hide",{0,1},true,"player")
    if button then table.insert(L.buffs,button) end
 
    ---- Marchio di Ursol
    local button = rFilter:CreateBuff(192083,"player",42,{"CENTER",50,-300},"[spec:3][combat]show;hide",{0,1},true,"player")
    if button then table.insert(L.buffs,button) end
 
    ---- Vello di Ferro
    local button = rFilter:CreateBuff(192081,"player",42,{"CENTER",100,-300},"[spec:3][combat]show;hide",{0,1},true,"player")
    if button then table.insert(L.buffs,button) end
 
 
        --- [ other code]
 
 
end

... finished ...

Should I have to references somethings in rButtonTemplate_Gm_rs as well ?
Probably it is missing me.

Thanks as usual for your patience.

You need the dependency. You want to access a variable defined by that addon. You need to make sure it is loaded before you access it. If you check your button layouts they all have dependencies.

But I get your point. You want to add buffs debuffs without having to rely on a button theme. This would spawn the button with the default button theme.

I will think about it. Should be no problem to implement since I just need a condition for this line:
https://github.com/zorker/rothui/blo...tions.lua#L123

I will probably shift from having a config for rFilter to having a layout with an optional theme for rFilter.

That way in a later layout you will be able to do sth like this:

Lua Code:

local button = rFilter:CreateBuff(...)
rButtonTemplate:StyleActionButton(button, actionButtonConfig)

I like that approach. I need a workaround for this:
https://github.com/zorker/rothui/blo...ctions.lua#L86

But this should do it:

Lua Code:

--button.settings.durationFont
button.settings.durationFont = button.settings.durationFont or {button.duration:GetFont()}
UpdateFont(button,button.duration,button.settings.durationFont,size)
--button.settings.countFont
button.settings.countFont = button.settings.countFont or {button.count:GetFont()}
UpdateFont(button,button.count,button.settings.countFont,size)
--button.settings.extravalueFont
button.settings.extravalueFont = button.settings.extravalueFont or {button.extravalue:GetFont()}
UpdateFont(button,button.extravalue,button.settings.extravalueFont,size)

*edit*
First version of rFilter as a framework: https://github.com/zorker/rothui/com...e0644c85616913
rFilterConfig is obsolete now. Will be removed.

gmarco An Onyxian Warder Forum posts: 362 File comments: 334 Uploads: 46	Hi Zork, I see you have updated also the github with this changes Later in the morning I check this out Thanks Just a thing I am thinking about... Actionbars and de/buffs happily work without have to make them depends on a specific addon for the button layout. Example: Could you extend such behaviour also to rFilter ? In this way we don't need the statically depend condition in the toc file ? If there is a rButtonTemplate_layout ... use it otherwhise use the standard blizzard textures and icons. If this will not be possible or too complex I was thinking to another thing (crazy ?) . Is it so crazy I have ALL the rButtonTemplate layouts deploys using all the same folder structure and names, i.e. rButtonTemplate_Layout. In this way I can try all layouts (once at a time and the rfilter always get the skin, because I put in his toc file: Code: ## Dependencies: rLib, rButtonTemplate_Layout So to explain better: the "project" name on curse/wowinterface have different titles (rButtonTemplate_layout1, rButtonTemplate_layout2 and so on) but all of them install as rButtonTemplate_Layout. Or better make the every different rButtonTemplate_Layouts export the same global configuration named rButtonTemplate_Layout and rFilter use that if present and not the different addons name. In this way we to prevent the mandatory "Dependencies" condition that have to be changed to modify the button template. Btw as usually Zork thanks so much for your time and attention. P.s This is only to discuss and chat, nothing mandatory __________________ This is Unix-Land. In quiet nights, you can hear the Windows machines reboot.

Sure you can make your button template actionbutton config global and make your button template theme a required addon.

To do that you add it to the required addons of rFilterConfig: https://github.com/zorker/rothui/blo...lterConfig.toc

Code:

## Dependencies: rLib, rButtonTemplate_Gm

In rButtonTemplate_Gm/theme.lua https://github.com/zorker/rothui/blo.../theme.lua#L42 you do sth like this:

Lua Code:

local actionButtonConfig = {}
rButtonTemplate_Gm_ActionbuttonConfig = actionButtonConfig

That way rButtonTemplate_Gm_ActionbuttonConfig becomes global and you can access it in rFilterConfig.

That being said...since it is bound by reference if you want changes on a specific part you need to copy it first. Otherwise you change the reference and all buttons will change. That is why the button theme is using copyTable so often.

rLib has the function avaiable: https://github.com/zorker/rothui/blo...b/core.lua#L23

In rFilterConfig.actionbutton.lua you can do sth like this:

Lua Code:

--copy the default button theme
L.C.actionButtonConfig = rLib:CopyTable(rButtonTemplate_Gm_ActionbuttonConfig)
--add specific changes here to L.C.actionButtonConfig
L.C.actionButtonConfig.name.alpha = 1

Btw...thanks for bringing that up. I am not sure why I have not done that myself.

*edit* That is the theory. I found some bugs. Need to fix them first.

*edit2* Ok fixed all the issued. Damn I found an error in rLib. :/

gmarco An Onyxian Warder Forum posts: 362 File comments: 334 Uploads: 46	Hi Zork and others, Make a rounded square is easy ... but it is not so easy to if the texture is a circle ... I can't even imagine how to code it I have finished a different template (rounded square). A couple of things I'd like to share: The Blizzard cooldown swinger is squared so I have to disable it while mantaining the numeric cooldown. I added this code in the top of the template: Lua Code: for i,v in ipairs{"Action","MultiBarBottomLeft","MultiBarBottomRight","MultiBarRight","MultiBarLeft"} do for i = 1, 12 do local cooldown = _G[v .. 'Button' .. i .. 'Cooldown'] cooldown:SetDrawBling(false) cooldown:SetDrawSwipe(false) cooldown:SetDrawEdge(false) end end It works fine but is it the right way to do it ? Another thing. Is possible to skin rFilter with rButtonTemplate automagically without have to copy the textures in the rFilter media folder ? So if I changed the rButtonTemplate layout it changes accordingly I mean this: Thanks for reading __________________ This is Unix-Land. In quiet nights, you can hear the Windows machines reboot.

Yes you can do that. You can supply one or more points that will repoint the textures based on the button. That way you can repoint any texture. Check the points in my example and play around with the x and y values.

gmarco An Onyxian Warder Forum posts: 362 File comments: 334 Uploads: 46	Hi Zork, thanks very much for yoyr precious tutorial I have made a set of buttons: and they looks grey but my normal texture is in this way: and it is white not grey. But I have forgotten to check this: Lua Code: --normalTexture actionButtonConfig.normalTexture = { file = mediapath.."normal", color = {0.5,0.5,0.5,1}, points = { {"TOPLEFT", 0, 0 }, {"BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0 }, }, } the color is a grey with alpha 1 ? So, if I realize only now that I am putting a grey color on the top of my tga file. So it works like expected ) The others textures that I see wrongly were because I miss this piece of code that you commented in your template causing me to happily deleted in mine Lua Code: --[[ --pushedTexture actionButtonConfig.pushedTexture = { file = mediapath.."pushed", points = { {"TOPLEFT", 0, 0 }, {"BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0 }, }, } --highlightTexture actionButtonConfig.highlightTexture = { file = mediapath.."highlight", points = { {"TOPLEFT", 0, 0 }, {"BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0 }, }, } --checkedTexture actionButtonConfig.checkedTexture = { file = mediapath.."checked", points = { {"TOPLEFT", 0, 0 }, {"BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, 0 }, }, } ]]-- Enable it everything is fine Thanks again for your help Zork... Now everything is (almost) clear __________________ This is Unix-Land. In quiet nights, you can hear the Windows machines reboot.
