SlashLib

Here are a few ideas:

1) Shorter /slashlibdo; I think /sl would suffice
2) Ability to create unique slash commands in with the addon (IE:, something is called 'in', have the mod run the code (provided 'slashName' is the var storing the string 'in', _G["SLASH_"..slashName.."1"] = "/in" SlashCmdList[slashName] = function( msg ) ... end ) this could be a shortcut or the name of the thing
3) Passing of parameters to slash commands (IE: with '/slibdo in bop mo jo jo' or '/in bop mo jo jo', call what slib has of under the index of 'in' with 'bop' the first arg and 'mo jo jo' the second arg, accessable by a global arg (there should also be defaults assigned by the script if the first or second arg were not provided)) the first arg could be called SL_arg1 and second SL_arg2 or something, and then used in the script part of your addon (there could also be 'override' features)
4) LDB button instead of the mini-map icon
5) A way to share and import scripts; invoke a command via the addon and the current selection or all of the commands in the addon are made into a string ( with the different args separated by something like double $$, followed by a line return) then put into a copy-frame; from this copy-frame, the user can then put the output where someone else can then copy it and put it on their system. Also, there could be a P2P way to share in game.
6) False positive blank line errors. I get 'SlashLib: ERROR - is not a valid command!' when there are line returns when I run a script
7) A default script for /slashlibhelp; the only way I found the addon's ingame help was looking at the code, in my text editor
8) Key bindings for scripts

Example: I want to make a slash command, called dd, with your addon that runs SetDungeonDifficulty() with a dynamic parameter (1, 2, or 3). The script of the entry would be "/run SetDungeonDifficulty(SL_arg1)) If I click on the addon's window to run it, it should pop up a static popup dialogue and ask me to either select or input the pram. If I wanted to do it with a slash command, I could key '/slibdo dd 1' or '/slibdo dd normal' (if normal/heroic/epic, the addon would set the pram to 1/2/3 respectively). It would then run the command, setting the dungeon difficulty to the desired setting.

Edit: Added 8

Fortunately this beautiful addon only needs minor fixes to work on WoW 3.x.

A couple edits (mainly scrollframe fixes) was all it took to have it 100% working on the WotLK beta.

Hey, shashlib is a great idea, and I tried to incorporate it into my macros.

But I had a serious problem with the way, the commands are invoked by slashlib. I Always get an error of the chat-editbox when sending the command.

I traced it down to the lines 365++ of the slashlib.lua which read:

--
if (string.sub(chaineTemp,1,1) == "/") then
DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.editBox:SetText(chaineTemp);
ChatEdit_SendText(DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME.editBox,0);
else
echo(SLIB_NOM..": ERROR - "..chaineTemp.." is not a valid command!","red");
end;
--

Now i changed them to something like this:

--
local editbox = CreateFrame("EditBox", "myEditBox", UIParent, "ChatFrameEditBoxTemplate")

editbox:SetText(chaineTemp)
ChatEdit_SendText(editbox)
--

While this solves my error problem, it does nothing else... it does NOT invoke the command at all

Does anybody have an idea how to fix this?

Thank you so much in advance!

Shweeeett!

I'm sooo trying this ... have been waiting for something like it since Jim and his Slash Commander disappeared.

Very nice idea.
