ImprovedErrorFrame  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

Version: 3.6.30100
by: AnduinLothar [More]

ImprovedErrorFrame lets you get more out of your error messages. It displays multiple errors and allows copying of error text.

With the new version of ImprovedErrorFrame, these errors are now queued up and can be viewed at your leisure with the click of a button. The error button is placed on the minimap and can be shift dragged to any other position around it.

Additional features include blinking notification, a notification sound, count of errors pending viewing and the ability to have the button displayed even when no errors are present.

Original ImprovedErrorFrame: Vjeux
ImprovedErrorFrame without FrameXML: AnduinLothar


Slash Commands
For Slash command help type /ief.

Usage
/ief <SubCommand> [-1|0|1|on|off|toggle]
If invoked with no parameters, it will toggle the current state, which is also the same behaviour it does with -1 or toggle as parameters.
If it gets sent 0 or off as parameters, it will disable ImprovedErrorFrame and hide it.
If it gets sent 1 or on as parameters, it will enable ImprovedErrorFrame and show it.

SubCommands

  • notify - Enables/disables ImprovedErrorFrame.
  • blink - Button will blink when errors are pending view.
  • count - Displays error count on button.
  • always - Always show the error count button.
  • sound - Sound played upon notification.
  • empty - Button graphic will clear when blinking.
  • debug - FrameXML.log will be outputted in verbose mode (requires UI reload).
  • stack - Display the stack trace along with the error message.

alternatives

!bauderrorframe is ok
!swatter is ass
!bugsack + somefubarmod is bleh.

but i still like this one better, the updates mostly seem to be cosmetic.
it would be nice to see a new version of this, and the toc updated with patches to verify it's still current etc.

Has this been looked into for this new update?
Hmm... I've been wondering what caused that. I'll look into it.

Invisible truncated errors

With the latest patch, this mod seems to be having some issues on my system.

I've noticed that many error messages are truncated.
It also seems that some of the errors are written in an invisible font. Copy & Pasting these errors sometimes gives the full text of the error, but not always.

Otherwise, this is a great mod.
