oUF - Layout discussion

hm, sorry i still don't get the "lvl" to be how i want it.. i get name and "elite" but not lvl!

result:


and code for name:

self:Tag(unitnames,'[raidcolor][name]  [smartlevel][difficulty] |cffffffff[classification]|r' or '[name]')
	if unit=='player' or unit=='pet' then
		unitnames:Hide()

[Soulcleaver]

well im thankfull for the help.. but i think if i do like im intending to maybe the level color will be like i want it.. now last question from me how do i move the lvl/elite from where it is to this..?



Code:

again look at ouf/elements/tags.lua, if you did the first time you would see that [smartlevel] does about the same as [classification]

["[smartlevel]"]  = function(u) return UnitClassification(u) == "worldboss" and "Boss" or tags["[level]"](u).. tags["[plus]"](u) end,

then how am i supose to get the level to be colored by the difficulty?:/ and maybe someone can answere on how i can move the lvevel/elite to where i want it on the pic i posted 2posts up or 3..?

[difficulty][level]|r

dont use smartlevel, as it merges level and classification (ish)

if you want to move the elite and level tag, make a new fontstring and register tags to it.

hm sorry to be an ass in the but-.- but how do i create that:P?

[Bruners]

You remove [smartlevel] and replace it with [level] [pluss] [classification]

to move it you will have to make a new text string with the correct position

local levels = self.Power:CreateFontString(nil, 'OVERLAY', 'GameFontHighlightSmallRight')
levels:SetPoint("RIGHT", self.power, "RIGHT")
self:Tag(levels, "[difficulty][level]|r[classification]")

Ok guess im gonna need some help again i spawn my party frames with the template but i want them to hide when in a raid and this is the code i used:

if(GetNumRaidMembers() > 5) then
  party:Hide()
else
  party:Show()
end

'

Seems to be giving me an error so how else would i make that work with different code?
But i dont have raid frames made in my oUF layout i use grid still until i can get a very very good replacement for it ..

You still need to post how you spawn your party var.

That's incorrect. It will try to set the frame you created as the template. And if you named your template oUF_Party in the XML... well, then you failed to named it something unique like I recommended.

A good practice would always be to use your own layout's name in the global. It prevents possible collisions, and most likely stuff like this .

Yes.

oUF:Spawn('header', 'oUF_Moo') - The oUF_Moo here is what global reference the frame should have.
party:SetAttribute("template", "oUF_Moo") - Is what template it should inherit.

Your code just overwrites the template oUF_Moo with the header oUF_Moo. Then it tries to inherit itself onto the frames it spawns.

So do this. In spawn you do 'oUF_<nameofyourlayout>Party', and in the XML you do 'oUF_<nameofyourlayout>PartyTemplate'. In the template attribute you then do 'oUF_<nameofyourlayout>PartyTemplate'.

You can also move the template var into the list in :SetManyAttributes().
