bobsiboo posted a message on xml and html

Quote from Adirelle

And if you are going to write real addons, beyond rendering some text, you will have to use XML or its Lua counterpart.

the only intentions i have with it is to change some UI stuff and make it look different so i won't need lua for it

bobsiboo posted a message on xml and html

hi i m relatively new to creating addons and also new to xml

i am trying to create some interface changes and was wondering if you could use HTML instead of xml? i noticed blizzard uses html to publish there TOU so how do i do this...

i found that you could put a html file into a xml file and then use a css stylesheet in my html but it doesn't realy work... the example off the code i have is here

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Frame name="name" parent="UIparent" movable="false">
	<size><RelDimension x="1" y="1"/> </size>
	<html xsl:version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
		<head>
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/stylesheet.css" />
		</head>
		<body>
			<div id="name">
			</div>
		</body>
	</html>
</Frame>

how do i let this work?

bobsiboo posted a message on testing addons

Quote from Starinnia
If you aren't adding new files or changing the TOC file you don't need to log out or quit WoW to pick up your changes.

Simple fix the error, save the file, and type /reload in game.

thank you for the hint.

but then my next question would be. how do i test arena or bg addons. i know i can enter dungeons by myself but i don't feel like doing hundreds of arena's (and getting my rating dropped) just to fix some bugs.

Quote from egingell
Um... yeah, your Lua file is not loading because it's jam packed with syntax errors. You should turn on Lua errors because clearly you have them disabled, or get BugSack + BugGrabber.

i use bugsac +buggrabber but they seemed to get stuck on a nil value i couldn't find and didn't give me more bugs

Line 18: ilvlcheck:PLAYER_LOGIN();

Edit (more): You have no frame named 'ilvlcheck' anywhere in your XML. You should be tossing errors like mad.

Case matters.

i use addon studio for world of warcraft so ther probably went something wrong when i changed the name from the default one i ll try to fix that

i have a box with 5 fontstrings in it called Player , partyMember1, partyMember2, partyMember3 and partymember4

and i ve got one button called Postbtn

that s about it

if you can make some notes on what is wrong and how to fix it that would be very kind.

also the notes would help me get better in the future.

bobsiboo posted a message on lua file not loading

hi i am new to creating addons.

i 'am working on my fist addon using Add on studio for world of warcraft 2010

i worked my way trough and when i was to test my addon i noticed my lua files are not loaded in the wow client.

my xml files work. i get my interface. but nothing happens.

u used myDebug to check on my variables but none of them seem to exist.

i even put a variabla "a" worth "10" at the start of my lua file but it does not exist.

i checked my toc and the lua file and xml file are in there. writen corectly.

i don't know what can cause this problem so here i am.
