Looks like i have a LOT of reading to do to try and wrap my head around using oUF to get PB out of my UI.

its not that theyre not units the unit arg is nil which will be evaulted as false for that expression.

btw where is the advantage of putting everything into one big function instead splitting it up and using sub functions ?

Maybe like a function for every unitgroup like player, target, tot, raid and functions for common tasks which are done to several units (like adding a portrait or setting up auras for the frame) .. and call those worker functions from the unitframe function :9
I think tapeworm functions with many conditionals to fit everything in one huge function is bad style .9

It has advantages such as: Less readability and increased horribleness when it comes to maintaining it.

give cred for this, used many hours looking through lua files finding it

This is quite weird, i've replaced mine with yours but it behave exactly the same way, menu on player/target/party but nothing on raid.
What could be wrong ?

local function menu(self)
	local cunit = self.unit:gsub('(.)', string.upper, 1)

	if(_G[cunit..'FrameDropDown']) then
		ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, _G[cunit..'FrameDropDown'], 'cursor')
	elseif(self.unit:match('^party')) then
		ToggleDropDownMenu(1, nil, _G['PartyMemberFrame'..self.id..'DropDown'], 'cursor')
	elseif(self.unit:match('^raid')) then
		self.name = unit
		RaidGroupButton_ShowMenu(self)
	end
end

Awww, you is taking away ze thread?

Ok, so that would make it trickier :P

Guys, I've decided to make it easier for haste and lock this thread. As far as I know it will remain available, but Haste prefers to use seperate threads for layouts (which was my intention too when I made this thread) and oUF core.

For layouts -> oUF Layouts
For core -> oUF Core

Edit: I'd lock it if I could. vBulletin just pwned me there.

Hey.. let us continue to have a ouf thread here .9 even if the "official" move to wowi now :9

Well, the reason I'd do this, is to show support to haste for his decision. It's his addon, that's all. I am cool with keeping this thread, but it would also mean that we or double post a lot wowace <> wowi or that one of both will not thrive. That's all. I feel we owe him the respect.

wowi is a different community.. and I'd prefer to discuss stuff with the people here. maybe not everyone wants to register there to ask a question and we might also be able to help here.

Well, if haste is fine with it. I have no objections of course. Though perhaps bundling this info (seriously, this thread has a lot of it) could be a good "how to write a layout for oUF" wiki page.

In the end which one should be using exactly, this one seems to be dead but the one on wowi isn't much more alive so :/
