Ace3 Profile management display

[Animor]

Hello,

I'm handling the DB and profiles of my addon via Ace3 libs, and there is something I'm not sure how to do (if possible at all). This is the relevant code:

-- DB
self.db = LibStub("AceDB-3.0"):New("MyAddonDB", defaults, true)

-- Profile management
self.profileOptions = LibStub("AceDBOptions-3.0"):GetOptionsTable(self.db)

-- Register configuration options to Ace3
LibStub("AceConfig-3.0"):RegisterOptionsTable("MyAddon", self.options)
LibStub("AceConfig-3.0"):RegisterOptionsTable("MyAddonProfiles", self.profileOptions)

-- Add Configuration options to blizzard UI
self.configPanel = AceConfigDialog:AddToBlizOptions("MyAddon", "MyAddon")
self.configPanel.profilePanel = AceConfigDialog:AddToBlizOptions("MyAddonProfiles", "Profiles", "MyAddon")

This puts the profiles as a sub-menu of my addon in "interface->addons" menu, openned with "+".

I open the config window by:
LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):Open() which opens it as a separate, movable window.

However, when I open it this way, I don't have the "profiles" management window. I want to have it as a level one tab (similiar to what I see in interface->addons->MyAddon). I've tried to register it to "self.options.args.profiles", but then it is shown as an internal tab. And when I go through interface->addons I see it twice: first one is the addon sub-menu (openned with +), and second in the addons pane, as an internal tab.

How do I make it right?

Thanks

Don't use:

LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):Open()

Instead, use:

InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory("MyAddon")

I'm assuming 'AceConfigDialog' is a local defined as LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0")?

Hi,

AceConfigDialog is indeed a local, sorry for not making it clear.

InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory("MyAddon") is what I had first. Problem is the Window is the default one for addons config, and it is not movable, it's static in the middle of the screen.
I wanted to have the config panel movable and resizable, so I used LibStub("AceConfigDialog-3.0"):Open

Is there another solution?

Check out my !SimplePowerBar options implementation. I believe it's what you're going for. In the blizzard addons menu I simply have a button you can click to open the config or use the slash command '/spb'.

It uses the same method as nibSpellAlertConfig with a few tweaks of my own.

Install BetterBlizzOptions.

Thanks m8s

I want to open the config panel with one click on the minimap icon. So going through blizzard addons menu and then clicking another button for the real config panel, is not what I'm looking for.

Anyway, I've decided to use that:

if ( InterfaceOptionsFrame:IsShown() ) then
        InterfaceOptionsFrame:Hide()
else
    InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(self.configPanel.profilePanel)
    InterfaceOptionsFrame_OpenToCategory(self.configPanel)
end

I'm calling it twice since I want the profiles sub menu to be expanded. And another click on the minimap icon closes the window.
