Showing guild tabbard.

[Yukyuk]

Is there a way to get the guild tabbard to show up in my addon?

I found the function GetGuildTabardFileNames().
And I can get the resulting textures into a frame.
But getting to show up as a decent guild banner is beyond me.

Allready browsed the FriendsFame, GuildBank and other xml and lua files but still no clue.

So any pointers is the right direction are very welcome.

This is what I use in KeepingTabs:

if GetGuildTabardFileNames() then
            f.ngt2:SetNormalTexture("Interface\\SpellBook\\GuildSpellbooktabBG")
            f.ngt2.TabardEmblem:Show()
            f.ngt2.TabardIconFrame:Show()
            SetLargeGuildTabardTextures("player", f.ngt2.TabardEmblem, f.ngt2:GetNormalTexture(), f.ngt2.TabardIconFrame)
        else
            f.ngt2:SetNormalTexture("Interface\\GuildFrame\\GuildLogo-NoLogo")
        end

Thank you for your answer.

In fact when I started with my addon I made a rough design. I wanted to incoperate the guild banner.
So I started googling to see how I could do that.
One of the first results was KeepingTabs.
So I downloaded it and studied the coding to you see how you got the guild banner.

At the time I couldn't figure it out.
Now I can see how you got the guild banner to work.

But getting the same result into my addon is not working (yet).
Keep getting to nil results for TabardEmblem and TabardIconFrame.
If fact I put a few print statements in Keeping Tabs as a way to bebug and they also print nil.
But I will keep trying

Oh, I changed my version of the the Keeping tabs toc to version 60200 to get it working.
Hope you don't mind.

Blizzard_GuildUI is only loaded on demand?
(Blizzard_GuildUI is the trigger for Keeping tabs).

Have to prepare my addon for that.

Guess this is obvious for the more experienced developers, but it is an eye opener for me

[Seerah]

Changing it to 60200 would make no difference on the code in the Lua file. (So long as you had "Load Out of Date Addons" checked.)

Since KT is adding frames to the guild UI, that's why it needs to wait for the Blizzard_GuildUI addon to load so that the guild UI has actually been created before trying to add to it. And, yes, the Blizzard_GuildUI addon is load on demand. http://wowprogramming.com/utils/xmlb...rd_GuildUI.toc

Thank you again Seerah.

Took me a few more hours, but it worked.
I now have the guild banner in my addon.
Ended up using the "SpellBookSkillLineTabTemplate".



Few more things to do to make it "perfect".
The first time it displays the no_guild logo instead of the guild banner.

And at the top left of the guild banner you see the original texture.
<Texture file="Interface\SpellBook\SpellBook-SkillLineTab"> from the "SpellBookSkillLineTabTemplate".
Is there a way to remove that?

 <CheckButton name="SpellBookSkillLineTabTemplate" virtual="true" hidden="true">
        <Size>
            <AbsDimension x="32" y="32"/>
        </Size>
        <Layers>
            <Layer level="BACKGROUND">
                <Texture file="Interface\SpellBook\SpellBook-SkillLineTab">
                    <Size>
                        <AbsDimension x="64" y="64"/>
                    </Size>
                    <Anchors>
                        <Anchor point="TOPLEFT">
                            <Offset>
                                <AbsDimension x="-3" y="11"/>
                            </Offset>
                        </Anchor>
                    </Anchors>
                </Texture>
            </Layer>
