FuBar - Getting options to save on a plugin

[HiroCT]

Alright, I am hoping you guys can help with this as I have hit a brick wall.

I'm building an add-on for the FuBar Panel that is a plugin for WhisperCast. It works, but I have options to Hide Label and Hide Icon, however doing a /console reloadui or re-logging and those options reset.

I'm basically having issues getting those two options to save, that's it.

Any insight you can help me with? I've taken a look at FuBar_RegenFu and FuBar_LootTyFu for ideas but I just can't seem to find out where the commands are to cause it to save to the SavedVariables file.

Thanks for any help in advance,
Hiro

You aren't creating an AceDB on the same variable as the toc has specified.
The toc: FuBar_WhisperCastDB
The lua: FuBar_WhisperCastFuDB

[chuckg]

In your declaration of the plugin,

PluginNameFu = FuBarPlugin:GetInstance("1.2"):new({
      (declaration stuff)

      defaults = {
            variableName = someSetting,
            someArray = {}
      }
}

self.data.variableName = newSetting
table.insert(self.data.someArray, someValue)

That should also save your settings based on the active profile, at least that's how I handle it. If you're really interested in how it's done, you can probably just checkout the WoWAce usage manual to get further details, since FuBar is just built on top of Ace: http://wowace.com/?page=usage

I hope that helps.

edit: Fixed.

[HiroCT]

Thanks for the help guys, I got it fixed.

The issue was in the .toc the SV name was "Fubar_WhisperCastDB" but in the LUA it was "FuBar_WhisperCastFuDB"

Just a typo with the naming convention fixed it.

Please do not follow chuckg's code example, it's flawed in FuBar's case.

FuBar doesn't take much credence towards Ace's DB system, it handles its data through self.data, self.charData, self.realmData, etc. See the API documentation for more specifics.

Whoops, you're right. I use self.data in my own mods for FuBar; not sure why I did an example with self.db!

If your addon has an icon, there will be an option to hide label or hide the icon.
If your addon does not have an icon, these options will not exist.

These are default options available to all FuBar addons, you do not need to add them.

[ckknight]

I also recommend you steal your ideas from the addons that I have written instead of from a third party.

Not to say that they are necessarily bad, but mine are pretty much correct in almost all cases, cause I'm intimately comfortable with the API.

[HiroCT]

Well, next issue I guess.

I'm trying to update the API to 1.2 and I'm having issues getting the OnUpdate to work. Any recommendations?

Here's what I have so far.

Edit: Also, I took a look at the 1.2 example and went to the OnUpdate function and added the following line:

DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("test");

So even using the example as a base, I was unable to get this working. Also worth noting is that the tablet portion does not need to work in the 1.2 example besides the hint code.

[brotherhobbes]

this part in the 1.2 example is extremely out-dated and needs to be removed. i keep forgetting to post it in the bug list. i'll go do it now.

OnUpdate = function(self, t)
	-- this is run once every `self.updateTime` seconds.
	self:Update()
end

somewhere in the 1.0 to 1.2 notes, it says that the OnUpdate function has been removed from our use in 1.2. instead you use metrognome.

example:

local metro = Metrognome:GetInstance('1')

function AddonName:Enable()
	metro:Register(self.name, self.Update, 1, self)
	metro:Start(self.name)
end

function AddonName:Disable()
	metro:Unregister(self.name)
end

I appreciate all the help guys, thank you.

I've been helping Hiro with this mod a little bit and while he was away this weekend I started adding the WhisperCast menu into the mod. I finished everything except the disabled spells menu which I've had practically zero luck with. I commented the sections I was having issues with (just go to the bottom of the menu code). If someone who knows Dewdrop a bit better wouldn't mind helping, that would be great. The file can be found here:

I feel like I'm just one variable off or something so hopefully it should be pretty easy. If this thread draws the attention of ckknight again I could hound you for some advice for ScaleFu regarding the slider as well

[HiroCT]

Still have been unable to get the Disabled Spells portion of the Menu plugged in to this mod and I'm hoping someone has some time to assist Global and I with the Dewdrop library.

Any takers?

[HiroCT]

Anyone out there good enough with Dewdrop that they could spare a few mins to answer some questions for me?
