oUF Portraits help

[Ferous]

Hey there. I am a complete noob when it comes to oUF and I am still learning a great deal. I have learned soooo muuuuch already but still don't know enough obviously. I was wondering of anyone could help me with adding portraits to my code, I was trying to add them from various layout code examples as well as other things and I still can't figure it out, i.e. they will not show up and I am boggled as to why they won't >.> Any help is appreciated and I would be greatly thankful and happy if someone could help me! We all start somewhere

Here is the code: http://snipt.org/pkq

Again, if you can help me I am extremely happy that you can, if you can't then I understand cause I can't figure it out either >.>

Thanks again and in advance!!!!

Try to make use of functions.

  
  --animated portraits yes/no
  local use_3dportraits = 1
  
  --create portraits func
  local function createPortraits(self,unit)
  
    --portrait holder frame
    local ph = CreateFrame("Frame",nil,self)
    ph:SetPoint("CENTER",self,"CENTER",0,0)
    ph:SetWidth(150)
    ph:SetHeight(150)
  
    --3D or 2D
    --3D looks silly on ToT frames of any kind though (because of onUpdate)
    if use_3dportraits == 1 then
      self.Portrait = CreateFrame("PlayerModel", nil, ph)
      self.Portrait:SetAllPoints(ph)
    else
      self.Portrait = self:CreateTexture(nil, "BORDER")
      self.Portrait:SetAllPoints(ph)
    end
  end
  
  --now come your layout style functions
  --call the function there
  
  local function CreatePlayerStyle(self, unit)
    -- ...
    createPortraits(self,unit)
    -- ...
    
  end

Dawn answered my question about this question to, this is what he said:

		local portrait = CreateFrame("PlayerModel", nil, self)
		portrait:SetScript("OnShow", function(self) self:SetCamera(0) end)
		--portrait:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.Health, "TOPRIGHT", 4, 0)

		portrait.type = "3D"
		self.Portrait = portrait
		--portrait:SetFrameStrata("LOW")		
		--portrait:SetFrameLevel(11)		
		--portrait:SetAlpha(1)
