Arena Frames spawn help

[azsh]

Hello. I have major problem with my oUF layout. im using this template http://wiki.github.com/haste/oUF/boilerplate-template.

My problem is that "arena frame target" look exactly like "arena frame" and i dont no where is the error or how to change that. I tried different ways and result it's still the same they do not appear or continue to look the same.

Mayby anyone can help me solve the problem ?

My template look like (It has removed some code because it is not important)

I suggest changing your "match or match or match" segment into something a little bit more readable. The issue is that you check for "arena%d", then "arena%dtarget". You can either make the pattern stricter or swap the position of those two.

It's working ! thank you very much I spent many hours to find a solution and did not realize that the change position can make a difference. Thanks !

Another way to do it is this:

local UnitSpecific = {
	arenaframes = function(self)
	...........	
	end,
end

and spawn them

oUF:RegisterStyle('oUF_ArenaF', UnitSpecific.arenaframes)
oUF:SetActiveStyle('oUF_ArenaF')
local arena = {}
	for i = 1, 5 do
		arena[i] = oUF:Spawn("arena"..i, "oUF_Arena"..i)
		if i == 1 then
			arena[i]:SetPoint('RIGHT', UIParent, 'RIGHT', -100, 0)
		else
			arena[i]:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", arena[i-1], "TOPRIGHT", 0, 20)
		end
	end

Pretty clean way imho.

It's the same solution as used in Lily, so Dawn won't mind . I should really post it as a separate style boilerplate template, but I haven't gotten to that yet.
