configuring to switch between 2 layouts

[barbol12]

hello, i got a raid frame layout, 5 columns at 5 per column.. other words a 25man raid.. can also make it a 40man....

now what i am trying to do, is be able to type in a ingame config... to bring up a static popup that loads the 40man layout, and another static popup to load 25man...... basically to have two different layouts(positions and ofcourse 2 different # of columns) heres the configurations that i have so far.

this is the config file(seperate from lua, but enable to load with my ouf addon) it works fine upthrough showing the staticpopups. but doesnt change the raid layouts.

local addon, ns = ...
local cfg = CreateFrame("Frame")
 
....... BLAH BLAH...... BLAH BLAH.... NOT IMPORTANT TO RAID STUFF.....
 
local function raidsmall()
 
if (cfg.raidbig == nil) then cfg.raidbig = {} end
 
cfg.raidbig = {}
cfg.raidsmall = true
 
end
 
local function raidbig()
 
if (cfg.raidsmall == nil) then cfg.raidsmall = {} end
 
cfg.raidsmall = {}
cfg.raidbig = true
 
end
 
 
 
 
StaticPopupDialogs["BARBOLUI_RAIDSMALL"] = {
    text = "Do you wish to set the raid layout to 25-man?",
    button1 = YES,
    button2 = NO,
    OnAccept = function(self)
        raidsmall();
        ReloadUI();
    end,
    timeout = 0,
    whileDead = 1,
    hideOnEscape = 1
}
 
StaticPopupDialogs["BARBOLUI_RAIDBIG"] = {
    text = "Do you wish to set the raid layout to 40-man?",
    button1 = YES,
    button2 = NO,
    OnAccept = function(self)
        raidbig();
        ReloadUI();
    end,
    timeout = 0,
    whileDead = 1,
    hideOnEscape = 1
}
 
 
SLASH_RAIDSMALL1 = "/Barbol25"
SlashCmdList["RAIDSMALL"] = function() StaticPopup_Show("BARBOLUI_RAIDSMALL") end
 
 
SLASH_RAIDBIG1 = "/Barbol40"
SlashCmdList["RAIDBIG"] = function() StaticPopup_Show("BARBOLUI_RAIDBIG") end
 
ns.cfg = cfg

here is the ouf portion needed... for raid frame to make the layout positions work.

if cfg.raidsmall then 
    
    local raid = oUF:SpawnHeader("oUF_Raid", nil, 'solo,party,raid10,raid25,raid40', 
        'showRaid', true,  
        'showPlayer', true,
        'showSolo', true,
        'showParty', false,
        'xoffset', 0,
        'yOffset', -3,
        'groupFilter', "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
        'groupingOrder', "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
        'groupBy', "GROUP",
        'maxColumns', 5,
        'unitsPerColumn', 5,
        'columnSpacing', 3,
        'point', "TOP",
        'columnAnchorPoint', "LEFT"
    )
        
    raid:SetPoint("CENTER", 0, 0)
    
    
    elseif cfg.raidbig then
    
    local raid = oUF:SpawnHeader("oUF_Raid", nil, 'solo,party,raid10,raid25,raid40', 
        'showRaid', true,  
        'showPlayer', true,
        'showSolo', true,
        'showParty', false,
        'xoffset', 0,
        'yOffset', -3,
        'groupFilter', "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
        'groupingOrder', "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8",
        'groupBy', "GROUP",
        'maxColumns', 8,
        'unitsPerColumn', 5,
        'columnSpacing', 3,
        'point', "TOP",
        'columnAnchorPoint', "LEFT"
    )
        
    raid:SetPoint("LEFT", 0, 0)
end

anyone know how to make this work/ fix my stuff???

Hi barbol,

Here’s the problem:

cfg.raidbig = {}
cfg.raidsmall = true

When you check if cfg.raidsmall then, you’re only asking if cfg.raidsmall isn’t nil, so the check still passes if cfg.raidsmall is a table. Set the one you don’t want to nil or false instead of an empty table.

You could check if cfg.raidsmall == true then instead, but since you don’t really need a table, there isn’t really any point in making one. Tables take up more memory than boolean values.
