Collapse BuffFrame

[DireKnack]

Hello,
I'm trying to make the BuffFrame default state be collapsed instead of having to collapse it manually every time I login or the UI is reloaded.

I'm very new to LUA but have been trying to figure it out with the following link:
https://github.com/tomrus88/Blizzard.../BuffFrame.lua

I've been trying with:

hooksecurefunc(BuffFrameMixin, "OnLoad", function()
        self.isExpanded = false
    end)

and also:

hooksecurefunc(AuraFrameMixin, "IsExpanded", function()
        self.isExpanded = false
    end)

I was also thinking that it could be as easy as updating a variable and tried not hooking? The following seems to collapse the BuffFrame but gives an error and breaks the buffs.

BuffFrame.CollapseAndExpandButton.SetChecked = false

Interface/FrameXML/BuffFrame.lua:365: attempt to call method 'SetChecked' (a boolean value)
Count: 2
 
Call Stack:
[string "=[C]"]: in function `SetChecked'
[string "@Interface/FrameXML/BuffFrame.lua"]:365: in function `RefreshCollapseExpandButtonState'
[string "@Interface/FrameXML/BuffFrame.lua"]:381: in function `UpdateAuraButtons'
[string "@Interface/FrameXML/BuffFrame.lua"]:256: in function `Update'
[string "@Interface/FrameXML/BuffFrame.lua"]:354: in function `Update'
[string "@Interface/FrameXML/BuffFrame.lua"]:168: in function <Interface/FrameXML/BuffFrame.lua:166>
[string "=[C]"]: ?

If I'm way off base I'm happy to do more research and am hoping to be pointed in the right direction thank you in advance for any guidance!

You might want to take a look at the first line in this function
https://www.townlong-yak.com/framexm...fFrame.lua#798
And maybe hook into that function.

Thank you so much for looking at this for me! I realize now the BuffFrame.lua thing I was looking at online wasn't up to date (even though it showed updated yesterday) so thank you for linking the townlong-yak one. I will just extract the Blizzard files going forward so I'm not wasting time.

I was able to get it working with the following:

BuffFrame.CollapseAndExpandButton:SetChecked(false)
    BuffFrame.CollapseAndExpandButton:UpdateOrientation()
    BuffFrame:SetBuffsExpandedState()

I hope none of this is bad practice? >.<

It shows toggled hidden on login and on reload. Also seems to toggle normally without generating LUA errors.

The tomrus88 project you were looking at is up-to-date, just too up-to-date for your current usage. They uploaded all the PTR changes yesterday and BuffFrame.lua has some significant changes in it.
