Need some help on XML to LUA
 
I have been working on an older addon from 2017. I have everything working except for one thing. The panel/frame is in XML. I have made a panel with LUA. But its empty. I can pull up the addon with the slash command and all the buttons are there, but no panel around it. In another words I have a blank panel (moveable, exit button) and another with all the addon buttons. Both are on my screen. Can anyone guide me in the right direction?

It looks like you already have a grasp on how to create UI objects and parent them. If you need a reference, there's WoWPedia's Widget API page.

The most time-consuming part of the conversion is turning XML's tree structure into a flat linear format.

Yeah, thats where I'm getting confused. Thank you for the link, I will check it out.

Fizzlemizz 09-16-22 08:17 PM
Also, try changing the parenting from
Lua Code:
  1. local Incoming = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, PARENT_FRAME, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate");
to

Lua Code:
  1. local Incoming = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, LocationMessageView, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate");
Unless you have PARENT_FRAME assigned as something somewhere, it is nil.

The name of your XML frame (LocationMessageView) will be added to the global table and, assuming your XML file/frame loads first, you can use that as the parent in your .lua frame. This is done with the names of all frames.

Just tried it and got the same results.

You seem to want the XML to be parented to the .lua frame so probably more like:


Lua Code:
  1. local Incoming = CreateFrame("Frame", "SharpedgeFrame", UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate");
  2. Incoming:SetBackdrop({
  3.       bgFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Background", 
  4.       edgeFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Border", 
  5.       tile=1, tileSize=32, edgeSize=32, 
  6.       insets={left=11, right=12, top=12, bottom=11}
  7. })
  8. Incoming:Hide() 
  9. LocationMessageView:Show()
  10. LocationMessageView:SetParent(Incoming)
  11. LocationMessageView:ClearAllPoints()
  12. LocationMessageView:SetPoint("TOP")
  13. Incoming:SetWidth(139)
  14. Incoming:SetHeight(190)
  15. Incoming:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent)
  16. Incoming:EnableMouse(true)
  17. Incoming:SetMovable(true)
  18. Incoming:RegisterForDrag("LeftButton")
  19. Incoming:SetScript("OnDragStart", function(self) self:StartMoving() end)
  20. Incoming:SetScript("OnDragStop", function(self) self:StopMovingOrSizing() end)
  21. Incoming:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG")
  22.  
  23. local button = CreateFrame("button","IncomingButton", Incoming, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
  24. button:SetHeight(24)
  25. button:SetWidth(60)
  26. button:SetPoint("BOTTOM", Incoming, "BOTTOM", 0, 10)
  27. button:SetText("Close")
  28. button:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)  self:GetParent():Hide() end)

and you would show/hide SharpedgeFrame in your slash command

I'm assuming the load order of the files based on their order in your OP.

Its throwing an error: attempt to index global 'LocationMessageView; (a nil value)

Fizzlemizz 09-16-22 08:57 PM
The XML is being loaded after the .lua. You don't say if your .lua file is being made part of the addon or a separate addon so I will assume separate and this should work in either case unless the original addon is Load-On-Demand.

Lua Code:
  1. local Incoming = CreateFrame("Frame", "SharpedgeFrame", UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate");
  2. Incoming:SetBackdrop({
  3.       bgFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Background", 
  4.       edgeFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Border", 
  5.       tile=1, tileSize=32, edgeSize=32, 
  6.       insets={left=11, right=12, top=12, bottom=11}
  7. })
  8. Incoming:Hide() 
  9. Incoming:SetWidth(139)
  10. Incoming:SetHeight(190)
  11. Incoming:SetPoint("CENTER",UIParent)
  12. Incoming:EnableMouse(true)
  13. Incoming:SetMovable(true)
  14. Incoming:RegisterForDrag("LeftButton")
  15. Incoming:SetScript("OnDragStart", function(self) self:StartMoving() end)
  16. Incoming:SetScript("OnDragStop", function(self) self:StopMovingOrSizing() end)
  17. Incoming:SetFrameStrata("FULLSCREEN_DIALOG")
  18.  
  19. local button = CreateFrame("button","IncomingButton", Incoming, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
  20. button:SetHeight(24)
  21. button:SetWidth(60)
  22. button:SetPoint("BOTTOM", Incoming, "BOTTOM", 0, 10)
  23. button:SetText("Close")
  24. button:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)  self:GetParent():Hide() end)
  25.  
  26. Incoming:RegisterEvent("PLAYER_LOGIN")
  27. Incoming:SetScript("OnEvent", function(self, event, ...)
  28.     LocationMessageView:Show()
  29.     LocationMessageView:SetParent(self)
  30.     LocationMessageView:ClearAllPoints()
  31.     LocationMessageView:SetPoint("TOP")
  32.     LocationMessageView:SetMovable(false)
  33.     LocationMessageView:EnableMouse(false)
  34. end)

Sharpedge 09-16-22 09:11 PM
Yes its enabled on boot. But now there is nothing on my screen. Even if I use the slash /inc it just gives the options for slash in the chat window.

I really do appreciate you helping me on this. I'm still learning.

Fizzlemizz 09-16-22 09:26 PM
Is /inc showing/hiding SharpedgeFrame or whatever name you gave to the "Incoming" frame?

If the slash command is in the same .lua file as Incoming (but the code is after Incoming has been created) you can use Incoming instead.

On the lua you provided I changed SharpedgeFrame to IncomingFrame and get the same results. If I'm understanding your question right.

Fizzlemizz 09-16-22 09:35 PM
Can you post all the .lua including the slash command?
Are the .lua and .xml in separate addons or included in the same .toc?

The XML is in its own folder. I tried having it called through the toc but get an
"attempt to index global" when I click a button. But all im getting on my screen is all the clickable buttons for the addon. There is is no exit button. Would you like a link to the addon itself?

It would help.

The global space where the frame names are stored is shared by all addons and the entire Blizzard UI so a name of "IncomingFrame" being fairly simple, might be being overwittedn by something else.

You're essentially taking control of another addon so you can't entirely rely on it's slash command(s). For this you will need to provide one of your own (in this case /sinc)

The .toc for your addon (the ## Dependencies: means the Incomming addon will load first.)

  1. ## Interface:  90205

  3. ## Author: Sharpedge
  4. ## Version: 1.0.0
  5. ## Dependencies: Incoming
  6.  
  7. Sharpedge.lua

The Sharpedge.lua (or whatever you've called it)
Lua Code:
  1. local Incoming = CreateFrame("Frame", "SharpedgeIncommingFrame", UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate");
  2. Incoming:SetBackdrop({
  3.       bgFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Background",

Ok, everything is inside that panel now. Fits just right. But, the only button that works is the Close button. Whenever I click any of the others I get this message:

button = "LeftButton"

Probably easier just apply a backdrop and close button to the addon frame

Lua Code:
  1. if BackdropTemplateMixin then
  2.     Mixin(LocationMessageView, BackdropTemplateMixin)
  3. end
  4. LocationMessageView:SetBackdrop({
  5.       bgFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Background", 
  6.       edgeFile="Interface\\DialogFrame\\UI-DialogBox-Border", 
  7.       tile=1, tileSize=32, edgeSize=32, 
  8.       insets={left=11, right=12, top=12, bottom=11}
  9. })
  10. LocationMessageView.Close = CreateFrame('Button', '$parentClose', LocationMessageView, "UIPanelCloseButton")
  11. LocationMessageView.Close:SetPoint('TOPRIGHT', 0,0)
  12. LocationMessageView.Close:SetSize(30, 30)
  13. LocationMessageView.Close:SetFrameLevel(4)
