eXtreme Unit Buttons 

Did you confirm that you have the right XUB options settings for what UI framework you are using? If you leave it on the Blizzard default, then use another UI instead, that may cause the buttons to disappear.

For example, XUB may want to attach the button to a Blizzard UI frame but you are using Shadowed UI frame, so it doesn't find a frame to add a button to and doesn't display the button.

You mentioned you were using a non-default Blizzard UI, but had disabled all other add-ons while diagnosing this problem. If you did that, you would have to have gone in to the XUB options and tell XUB that you are no longer using your own UI but the Blizzard default one. And if you did that, and re-enabled your other add-ons, you would have to go back and tell XUB that you are no longer using the default Blizzard UI but a specialized UI.

Look at the third window in this picture for the "Unit Frames" Options screen I am talking about!

Also, check where the "Anchor Button Under" configuration setting is set to. See the second window, upper right-hand corner, of the screenpic I just linked in the previous paragraph.

Finally, under the 'grasping at straws' category, try testing with another spell and not PW:S. That spell used to have special conditioning and a speciall XUB file to handle it, though it no longer has it. Try a regular Heal or a Renew, something like that instead.

Otherwise, I don't know what else to tell you. If needed, I could upload my XUB config file for my disc priest and see if you replace your config .lua file with me if that makes things work again, but that would be a long shot.

Thank you again for all the ideas, but the problem persists.

I tested with Flash Heal this time. All worked, nothing saved. Tested a Healing Touch one on the druid, all worked, nothing saved again. The file was created for the druid character toon, btw.

I always check the unit frame too. Everything is fine and working, and once I reload, ALL is erased, it is not just the buttons, all the commands typed are gone, and the unit frames are reset.

So tomorrow I will erase the addon and download all versions by date, and see if the reason I'm the only one with the problem is that because I am one of the newer users who don't didn't get and test all the previous versions. If that makes sense... maybe I am missing a lil tiny fine from one of the versions.

Or did I download all wrong? I installed the one from the big "DOWNLOAD" button on the main description which is v1.8.2 07-26-2008 04:47 PM, and then copy & pasted (and replaced the old by the new files) contents from v1.9 b19 upload 1 07-15-2010 11:58 AM

I will accept your help with that file though, if you are willing the trouble to upload it. Once I try that whole file replacement sometime this weekend I will come back and say if it worked or not.

I'd say just download the latest beta version, and ignore the rest/older stuff. Its best to try and debug having just the latest version. Remember to delete your configuration .lua file too under your account folder subhierarchy, before running the latest version, and to clear out your XUB folder before installing the newest beta version.

What version of Windows (or are you using a Mac?) are you using? Where is WoW installed for you? Is it installed under the "Program Files" directory, or under the "Users/Public/Games" directory? Maybe you have a "not enough rights to write to the lua file" problem?

You mentioned before that you see the .lua file change with your new settings; did you actually open the file with a Notepad/editor and see if the spell/button was in there? Can you upload the file somewhere so we can see it, or at least copy the text of the file and paste it here in a message?

I'm trying to remember if WAY back with the early versions of XUB it wrote configuration files a different way than it does now, and you're dealing with an old/new version problem? I'm not sure about this at all, Tay could chime in on this. But if you delete the config files, delete the old XUB add-on folder, and just reinstall the latest, and try again, that would eliminate the problem (if I'm right about this).

I've uploaded my configuration file for my disc priest to XUB's Google Code web site, HERE. After removing the old install and reinstalling the latest beta, try this configuration file, and see if it helps you out. Remember that this config file is set to use Shadowed UI, so you'll have to go into the XUB configuration and change the UI from Shadowed back to Blizzard (or whatever one you are using).

Let me know how any of this works. If it doesn't, you'll need to upload YOUR XUB configuration file somewhere so we can take a look at it and see if there's any obvious problems with it.

Good luck.

My WoW folders are all on the Public folder (Windows 7).

I did as you said, erased all the files from the addon, plus the ones on the character folders, and the error continued to happen.

Wiping the addon completelly, both on Interface>AddOns and on the WTF character folders, didn't work. I installed the latest beta only.

So I downloaded your file, changed UI for Xperl, and a bunch of buttons came. I erased all the text on the config, wrote a simple button for Flash Heal. It worked, and it SAVED after reload and after log out! So I made party buttons too, and those also saved just fine

I lost the "wrong" priest .lua file, but I logged on my druid toon, which I had not messed with XUB yet, and did a simple heal button, which worked, and nothing saved. This is her .lua file:

The priest file got quite huge and looking like the one you originally sent, but I can post it here too if it helps, though hers is working now that I "recycled" yours. I'll just recycle it on the other toons I might want to use the addon.

Thank you very much for your help!

...I have one last question only!
Raid buttons didn't want to work, saying:
"XUB-warning: no UnitFrame found for 'raid1'"
Any ideas? I did tell on the UnitFrame window that I'd be using xperl.

First, congrats on getting it working! Sounds like you needed a configuration file transfusion to get things going! I don't need you to upload your bad? config files, but Tay, the dev, may. I'll let him tell you if you should upload them or not. My job was easier, just getting it to work for you, and his is harder, trying to figure out why it didn't work in the first place!

As far as the raid frames issue, GENERALLY SPEAKING!, from time to time, the people who make the alternate UI frames (XPerl, Shadowed, ag_UnitFrames, etc.) add-ons change the names for the frame names they code. When that happens, you have to wait for a new version of XUB to catch up with the new right frame names (since XUB hard-codes the names of the various UI add-on frame names), or you can use the 'Custom Frames' section of the XUB options window and type in the updated/new frame names yourself (or you can manually update the "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\eXtremeUnitButtons\XUBUnitFrames.lua" XUB lua file with the new frame names).

Specifically, for XPerl, what I just said may not be the problem. You'll have to wait for Tay (the dev) to chime in, but XPerl support may be marginal/not 100%, but I don't know that for sure. When I went and looked at the XUBUnitFrames.lua file (lines 194 to 198) for XPerl, for raids, I found this...

Notice the italicized comments. They make me think that XPerl should "just work" with XUB fpr raid players, and not at all for raid pets.

So, if you want to try it, go to the XPerl web site, or use an add-on that shows frame names (I use FrameInfo), and get the names of your XPerl frame names, and try the Custom Frames portion of the XUB configuration/options, and see if that solves your problem. Otherwise, you'll have to wait for Tay to reply to see what is going on.

I'd suggest you try looking at Shadowed UI frames, its lightweight, works well with XUB, and is a spiritual successor to ag_UnitFrames. I don't know how it compares to XPerl, as I have never used it, but Shadowed UI had everything I needed for playing WoW, UI wise.

Good luck!

Thank you again!

I could not find the frame names on the xperl page http://www.wowace.com/addons/xperl/

So I'll wait for the author's update.

Did check Shadowed, but on comments, the author said he won't continue development on Cataclysm, so I'd rather keep with Xperl then to lose all I configurated... by the end of the year, I'm guessing.

( I did not have time to read this thread, but I will )
I use XUB with XPERL no problem, works with the party, raid, focus, targets. pretty much everything but raid pets.
After I actually read your posts I will see if I can help at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok, still not enough time before raid, (clearing trash atm)
but....
Even though your using Win7. try this.....

copy your WTF directory and Addon folder to the wow directory
C:\WoW\Interface\AddOns
and see if it all works from there....

Be sure to copy it and rename the blizzard directory in your public folder

... and thanks for the typo on the site.

my n00b disc priest here... only 75

abinning,

Sorry, I really don't understand that suggestion. Not an expert computer person here, btw.

I am using Windows 7, the patch for my WoW folders (including Interface>AddOns) is:
<my PC name>\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft

And thank you for the screenshot of your priest! I still don't know where to put the player's debuffs from xperl... I like the buttons for XUB to be under the party frame, but that is also where I generally have their debuffs. I thought I'd just erase them at all and just play by the color code (blue to dispell, green to remove disease, etc).

For what its worth, I run (er ran) WoW from Windows 7, from the default installer location of C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft. Unless she's messed with her admin/security rights, I don't think reinstalling somewhere else would fix much. /shrug

Exactly how I do it....

Ok, I see out difference here. I didn't realize the default install location was in "public", since I always install to c:\wow.

From your comment I was thinking that in Win 7 it might put your variables and addons in "public", while putting the game files in "program files".

So I was suggesting to move it into the program directory, but since I was wrong, it makes mo sense. =P

abinning,

I did have some problem like that on windows Vista, as I recall. Thank you for the suggestion anyway!

Yeah, starting with one of the xpacs, the installer will move the install from "C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft" to "C:\Users\Public\Games\World of Warcraft". And any further installs go into the latter folder/directory.

And yeah again, it doesn't split up files, it keeps the same folder hierarchy off of World of Warcraft folder.

Hello all!

I can see below me that someone else has had a similar problem, but I wasn't sure if the same idea would work. Hopefully this isn't a stupid configuration mistake, but the procedure I used is included, so hopefully that will be clear if it is.

I'm trying to set-up XUB for a priest I'm leveling with standard Blizzard frames (the unit frames config screen is set to Blizzard). I'm doing this on a mac system, with a standard WoW directory hierarchy. I used to love this mod, and I just reactivated, so I would love to see it again. My problem is that my profiles aren't saving.

For example, I can successfully set-up a button frame (by logging on, /xub p normal ; /xub config ; setting up a button group titled, for example, "self" ; setting up the adjacent profile window, for example, "normal,player,self" ; verify ; save ...just to make sure I'm not making a goofy config mistake here). Then I /logout or /reloadui, and none of the settings are saved. When I type "/xub p," it gives me a message telling me that xub doesn't have any profiles, and needs to have a profile set-up.

At first, I tried deleting all the luas in the WTF folder, and reinstalling the latest version, but that didn't help.

I thought it might be a permissions issue, so I applied a read/write permission for everyone to the folder and applied to all enclosed items. To verify this worked, I deleted the lua/lua.bak for the toon, set-up a test profile again, and reloaded the ui. A lua file was created, but it still didn't save the profile. I don't understand the scripting in the lua file (I'll post it at the end), but I don't see anything that seems to correspond to any of the test buttons I created.

I'm not entirely sure what to do >< Obviously, if anyone has any troubleshooting ideas, I'll follow that through, but I'm wondering if there's a way to script the groups directly into the lua file? I'm pretty desperate to get this to work.

Thanks in advance for any help! The lua file is below.

For the test configuration, I just made one group, "self," with one button, Lifeblood. I verified, save/applied. This is the lua file that was generated when I /reloadui 'd:

Pyroaer,

I had the exact same problem. The only solution was to download Cosmic Cleric's .lua file and edit it. The link to download is in one of his answers, on a "HERE" link, below. Just do a CTRL+F to find it quick.

So, what I did: I replaced my character's WTF .lua file by his. Opened his config (in game, not on notepad), all his stuff is written there, erased what he wrote, made a single simple button, and once I /console reloadui, it saved!

I know nothing of making addons... but that was how we fixed it to me. Remember to change his Unit Frame addon, he uses ShadowedUI.

BUT I still can't make it work on raids (X-perl or Blizzard default). See if you can and then post here, please?
