Aura Icons: CustomFilters

[jadakren]

I'm trying to use Aura Icon Filters within my layout, but anyform of testing wether an aura name exists in a table only causes the entire set of aura icons to be hidden.

local whitelist = {
	 ["Renew"] = true,
	 ["Power Word: Fortitude"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Fortitude"] = true, 
	 ["Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Divine Spirit"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Spirit"] = true,
}

local function customFilter(icons, unit, icon, name, rank, texture, count, dtype, duration, timeLeft, caster)
	icon.duration = duration
	icon.timeLeft = timeLeft
	icon.owner = caster

	return name and whitelist[name]
end

...

inside the style function :

self.CustomAuraFilter = customFilter

Variations of :

	if(name and whitelist[name])then
		return true
	end

don't seem to work either

[jadakren]

local function customFilter(icons, unit, icon, name, rank, texture, count, dtype, duration, timeLeft, caster)
	icon.duration, icon.timeLeft,icon.owner = duration,timeLeft,caster

	print(name, whitelist[name])

	if(name == "Renew")then
		return name
	end

end

the print command there returns the name, and true for spell names that are in the table mentioned above.

There's nothing wrong with the code, at least I can't see anything.

what I don't understand right now is that when i do this :

local whitelist = {
	 ["Renew"] = true,
	 ["Power Word: Fortitude"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Fortitude"] = true, 
	 ["Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Divine Spirit"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Spirit"] = true,
}

local function customFilter(icons, unit, icon, name, rank, texture, count, dtype, duration, timeLeft, caster)
 print(name,whitelist[name])
 return name
end

Then all the icons show (so no filtering occuring).

For testing : function prints the name of the aura and true if its in the table or nil if it's not.

Sometimes name == nil.

yet when I try to return false or nil based on a strings existance in the table as a key or wether simeple name == "Renew"...none of the icons end up showing regardless of matches

[jadakren]

local whitelist = {
	 ["Renew"] = true,
	 ["Power Word: Fortitude"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Fortitude"] = true, 
	 ["Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Divine Spirit"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Spirit"] = true,
}

local function customFilter(icons, unit, icon, name, rank, texture, count, dtype, duration, timeLeft, caster)
	icon.duration, icon.timeLeft,icon.owner = duration,timeLeft,caster
	if(whitelist[name])then
		print(name, whitelist[name])	
		return true
	end
end

Nothing gets printed....
unless :

local whitelist = {
	 ["Renew"] = true,
	 ["Power Word: Fortitude"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Fortitude"] = true, 
	 ["Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Divine Spirit"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Spirit"] = true,
	 ["Heroic Presence"] = true,
}

If i try to hide the first buff ("Heroic Presence") then none of them will show.

[jadakren]

local whitelist = {
	 ["Renew"] = true,
	 ["Power Word: Fortitude"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Fortitude"] = true, 
	 ["Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Shadow Protection"] = true,
	 ["Divine Spirit"] = true,
	 ["Prayer of Spirit"] = true,
--	 ["Heroic Presence"] = true,
	 ["Weakened Soul"] = true,
}

local function customFilter(icons, unit, icon, name, rank, texture, count, dtype, duration, timeLeft, caster)
	print(icons, unit, icon, name, rank, texture, count, dtype, duration, timeLeft, caster)
	return whitelist[name] or nil
end

Not targeting anyone, /console reloadui and chatframe contains :

23:37:14table: 1BC95F38 player table: 18A49B40 Heroic Presence Racial Passive Interface\Icons\INV_Helmet_21 0 nil 0 0 player
23:37:14table: 1BC95F10 player table: 18A49D98 nil nil nil nil nil nil nil nil

I tested your first code blocks (opening post) with both "Buffs" & "Auras" (not Debuffs) and it worked as intended which I thought it would. The rest you've posted also looks correct.

I think you'd be better off if you posted your layout/style.
