Is it possible to access the AceDB of an addon from another addon? I want to get the AceDB for KeepItCool for a quick FuBar interface so I can see everything from FuBar. Thank you for the help.

I'm sure you could do it. All you would need to do is define the Get() method to "get" things out of KeepItCools DB. That is, unless, Ace doesn't allow that...

KeepItCoolFu=AceAddon:new({
  db1=AceDatabase:new('KeepItCoolFuDb'),
  db2=AceDatabase:new('KeepItCoolDb'),
  getVar=function(self,db,var) return self[db]:get({self.profilepath},var) end,
  setVar=function(self,db,var,val) return self[db]:set({self.profilepath},var,val) end,
  Enable = function(self)
   self:getVar(self.db1, 'SomeVar') || self:setVar(self.db2, 'SomeOtherVar', 0)
  end
})

OOh KICFu.. let me know when that one's finished :)

I will see how it goes. It might end up being easier to just copy everything into a FuBar addon and just add the FuBar-centric items to it. Going to see how it goes this week.

EDIT:

Can you access the locals of another addon?

I am snoking crack

edit: smiking.. smiking

edit2: i said smoking

Quote from Industrial »

nothing is local in lua

Are you smoking crack?

do
local f = "Frank"
end

f is local.

local AddOn = AceAddon:new{}
local blah = true

Both AddOn and blah are local, and neither will be addressable by a global name. AddOn will be able to be referenced from Ace itself, but blah is unaccessible by ANYTHING except the functions and methods within the same chunk as AddOn

NOONE touches my prrreeecious KIC. Shoo! Shoo!


Anyway, I decided today to start making KIC FuBar-compatible. Yay. Finally.


EDIT: *Yaaaawn* But not today... Probably tomorrow.

Awesome, I didn't feel like doing it :)
