Need help to create graphical Addon

Hello everyone,

first sorry for my bad english and i hope you will understand my request.

I am looking for a person who can help me to design an own graphical Addon menu.
I have wrote a little addon and now i want to give the user the option to
change options ingame.

What does the Addon?
The Addon is for collecting professions. It swaps gloves when you hover a node or a herb
so that you can use the enchants for faster mining or herbalsim and then switch back to your
normal gloves. When you are infight it will not change the gloves. The Addon works fine for me
so i will share it with other people.

What i need:
- A slash command to open the menu
- The option to choose between english and german
- Check list where i can chose my professions
- 4 blocks where i can drag and drop the types of gloves (Normal gloves, mining, herbalsim and skinning)

I hope somebody can help me. (If you are german it would be easier)

i have painted a little picture what i could be

take a look at my set swap addon; it has some features which can be used as learning examples for you. I write code in a pretty easy-to-follow way so I can more easily relearn it and maintain. See Options.lua file, mostly. In general, I find a good way to learn WoW's API and nuances is by reviewing other simple addons.

Why is this an option? You should just detect which language the game client is set to, and use that.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the purpose of your addon, but why does the user need to tell the addon which gloves have the profession enchants? Just scan their bags to find them on demand:

Lua Code:

local enchantsForProfession = {
    Fishing = {
        ["846"] = true, -- +2 Fishing
    },
    Herbalism = {
        ["845"] = true, -- +2 Herbalism
    },
    Mining = {
        ["844"] = true, -- +2 Mining
    },
}
 
local function FindGlovesForProfession(professionName)
    local enchants = enchantValuesForProfession[professionName]
    if not enchants then
        return
    end
 
    for bag = 0, 4 do
        for slot = 1, GetContainerNumSlots(bag) do
            local itemLink = GetContainerItemLink(bag, slot)
            local enchantID = itemLink and itemLink:match("Hitem:%d+:(%d+):")
            if enchantID and enchants[enchantID] then
                return bag, slot
            end
        end
    end
end
 
local bag, slot = FindGlovesForProfession("Fishing")
if bag and slot then
    -- Do something with the gloves here
end

Note the included enchant IDs were taken from http://wow.gamepedia.com/EnchantId and may not be correct. If there's only one enchant for each profession these days, you don't even need the sub-tables.
