InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(frame)

[Walkerbo]

Hi all

I am getting the following error:

2x NewbDevBox/NewbDevBox.lua:517: attempt to call global 'InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory' (a nil value)
[string "@NewbDevBox/NewbDevBox.lua"]:517: in main chunk

It is showing a nil value for my frame.

Here is my frame:

local NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame = CreateFrame("Frame", "NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame", UIParent, "BackdropTemplate")
NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame.name = "Newb Dev Box"
NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame:SetBackdrop(
    {
        bgFile = "Interface\\Buttons\\WHITE8X8",
        insets = {
            left = NumberList.insetSize,
            right = NumberList.insetSize,
            top = NumberList.insetSize,
            bottom = NumberList.insetSize
        },
        tileSize = nil,
        tile = false,
        edgeFile = "Interface\\Tooltips\\UI-Tooltip-Border",
        edgeSize = NumberList.edgeSize
    }
)
NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame:SetBackdropColor(unpack(TextDimensionList.colourBackdrop))
NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame:SetBackdropBorderColor(unpack(TextDimensionList.colourBorder))
NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame:SetScript(
    "OnEvent",
    function(self, event, ...)
        if event == "PLAYER_LOGIN" then -- fires when a player logs in or reloads
            print(TextStringList.addonLoaded) -- Load Message
            initialiseLists()
            setUpNewbDevBoxSortedTable()
            checkOtherAddonsEnabled()
            setCheckBoxesAndButtonFrameMetrics()
            buttonFrameButtonLayout()
        end
    end
)
NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN") -- fires when a player logs in or reloads
NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame:RegisterEvent("ADDON_LOADED") -- fires when an addon is loaded
InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(NewbDevBoxInterfaceFrame)

Is there a new way to name frames, or has the InterfaceOptions_AddCategory changed?

See the Settings information.

Hi Fizzlemizz

I showed someone how to update just today (where panel is the Config. frame).

This is the code I ended up using. Where about is the actual config frame.

	if InterfaceOptions_AddCategory then
		InterfaceOptions_AddCategory(about)
	else
		local category, layout = _G.Settings.RegisterCanvasLayoutCategory(about, about.name)
		_G.Settings.RegisterAddOnCategory(category)
	end
