Issue with pools and template

maqjav · 06-08-17, 11:30 PM

Hello.

I'm trying to use this code from Blizzard_Wardrove

Code:

self.DetailsFrame.itemFramesPool = CreateFramePool("FRAME", self.DetailsFrame, "WardrobeSetsDetailsItemFrameTemplate");

Whenever I call

Code:

local itemFrame = self.DetailsFrame.itemFramesPool:Acquire();

It works fine in some computers but it fails in others, with the next Lua error:

Code:

Couldn't find inherited node "WardrobeSetsDetailsItemFrameTemplate"

Any ideas why doesn't this work every time? I think it might be related to the loading speed of each computer (it works in the slower one with a bunch of addons, but it doesn't in the fastest one with just this addon).
How can I fix this?

Thanks.

This template is only available if Blizzard_Collections addon is loaded.

Either add this code to your addon, somewhere before you call CreateFramePool.

Lua Code:

if not CollectionsJournal then
    LoadAddOn("Blizzard_Collections")
end

Or make your addon load w/ Blizzard_Collections, you'll have to alter your addons loading process though, IIRC, you won't be able to use ADDON_LOADED event. For more info, search for "LoadWith" here.

Thank you lightspark, I will look into this as soon as I'm back from work.
It looks promissing.
