was boss frames added? if so how do i get them to work

First, I love the addon and thank you for putting so much time into this project. The wonderful customization options available are exactly what I'm looking for.

Now, I've tried a few searches and couldn't come up with anything, so hopefully I'm not posting a oft-asked question, but I feel like I'm missing something.

Is there a way for custom-created Luatext codes to be added to the dropdown list for all layouts rather than just the one you happen to have selected when you create it? I'm not familiar with Lua and what it can do, so occasionally I realize something fantastic I'd like for it to do for all of my layouts, but when creating the code, I have to create it for each layout, and then since I have different profiles for each character, I have to create them again for each layout of the different characters.

Currently it seems the easiest way to do this is actually by editing the Pitbull4.lua file in the WTF folder, copying and pasting where needed. Am I missing some in-game option? Thanks a lot,

SS

I don't believe it's possible right now. If I'm not mistaken, this is what this ticket is for:

You can vote for it at that link.

That's exactly what I was looking for, thanks. Not a huge issue, just a minor inconvenience.

how can i trim a text value am returning if its over 15 characters?

return Name(unit)

thanks

EDIT: i found out thanks anyway : return "%.15s",Name(unit)

was wondering if anyone can help as to how to change the border style of the debuffs want them to kinda look similar to my button facade skin any help is appreciated

Go to the Pitbull's 'aura' folder and edit the border.lua

there is no border.lua file only a .tga one also dont have a way to open them

tga is opened with photoshop or some other good picture editing program should be some free ones out there

Quote from Shefki

if event == "ACTIVE_TALENT_GROUP_CHANGED" then

Is it possible to grab the passed in arguments for events?
Like this (shamelessly stolen from wowwiki)

  local timestamp, type, sourceGUID, sourceName, sourceFlags, destGUID, destName, destFlags = select(1, ...)
  if (event=="COMBAT_LOG_EVENT_UNFILTERED") then
    if (type=="SPELL_DAMAGE") then
      local spellId, spellName, spellSchool = select(9, ...)
      if (spellName=="Mind Blast" and critical==true) then
        DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("Mind Blast Just Critted!");
      end
    end
  end

Can someone explain how to make a highlight that only shows if the target is missing a buff from a set of buffs? For example, as a Mage, I'd like to see which raid members are missing the intellect buff (supplied by Arcane Intellect, Arcane Brilliance, Dalaran Intellect, or Dalaran Brilliance)

EDIT: Do I have to make an individual blacklist filter for each spell and then one additional highlight filter that ORs them all together?

It'd be easier to make a luatext that shows an icon if a buff is missing. I don't have time to look right now, but I'm fairly sure there are examples of that in the luatext thread here. I know there are in the luatext thread on elitistjerks.com too. The luatext guide (located here: http://www.wowace.com/addons/pitbull4/pages/lua-texts/) shows you how to display icons.

I seem to be unable to apprehend the method of configuring group targets. Not that much on GT in the FAQ, sadly. And, woe on me, there are only two default groups: Party and Party Pets. Neither do I get what that drop-down for Group Elements is for, whenever I change it and choose a different layout my Party view changes altogether.

So I create a new group called Party Targets, select Party Targets as Group Element, apply my Schema and -- nothing but good looks in test mode. With Include Target checked I get something which looks like party targets　but it actually only shows one target of one of group members.

What is it I'm doing wrong?

Positionable texts is the only thing that makes me want to use SUF, but SUF's aura system is really lackluster, and faking it with SBF frames is not only more of a pain for complex filters, but a bit more work on the CPU as well. Other than voting for the ticket (which I've previously done), is there anything else a non-coder can do to encourage this particular ticket be worked on? (a donation ala bountysource, possibly?) I looked through the code, but I don't know nearly enough to do it, much less do it well.

Need a little help. I created a Player Frame, Target Frame, and ToT Frame I really like but I created it on a different account that my main. My MAIN has Raid Frames and Party Frames that I love and took forever to set up. Since I can't simply copy the SavedVariables, how on earth do I copy the Setup of the Player Target, and ToT from one account to the other without destroying the Raid Frames?

Since your saying you can't copy the SV's im guessing you have other setups on account2's PB4 that you don't want to be overwritten.

Open the SV's for account1 and account2 in a text editor.

from here you can manually edit the SV's for acc2 to add the frames from acc1. (MAKE BACKUPS its easy to mess things up in here)

The layout will look something along thye lines of this (this is my target frame layout):

If im not misstaken just editing the sv and copy/paste the ones you want should work.

Thank you so much. You're right about the 2 accounts. What I ended up doing is opening WoW in 2 separate windows and copying the settings from one to the other. I've yet to see if that works, and if it doesn't I'll try the method you posted. Thank you so much again.
