Bossframe spawn
You have probably recognized the Blizzard boss frames underneath the minimap.

Can anyone share a working bossframe spawn for oUF 1.5.x / WoW Patch 4.0.1?

In my old layout I did sth like this
Code:
  if showbossframes == 1 then
    oUF:SetActiveStyle("oUF_D3Orbs2_boss")
    local boss = {}
    for i = 1, MAX_BOSS_FRAMES do
      boss[i] = oUF:Spawn("boss"..i, "oUF_Boss"..i)        
      if i==1 then
        boss[i]:SetPoint("TOP", Minimap, "BOTTOM", 0, -150)
      else
        boss[i]:SetPoint("TOP", boss[i-1], "BOTTOM", 0, -60)
      end
    end
  end
Is sth like this still the way to go?

I'm using the same code and I get no errors but no boss frames too.
Also, if anyone has an easy way to test boss frames, please share. I'm thinking on asking my guildies to go with me to ICC 'till the gunship but this is a lot of trouble.

Hm, weird
I've been to Grim Batol yesterday and my boss frames seem to work just fine on every boss (yes you don't need to go to ICC to test it).
I'm using pretty much the same method, but I'm doing that via oUF:Factory() function.

Code:
    self:SetActiveStyle("monoBoss")
    local boss = {}
    for i = 1, MAX_BOSS_FRAMES do
      boss[i] = self:Spawn("boss"..i, "oUF_Boss"..i)
	  boss[i]:SetScale(cfg.PABscale)
      if i == 1 then
        boss[i]:SetPoint(unpack(cfg.BOpos))
      else
        boss[i]:SetPoint("BOTTOMRIGHT", boss[i-1], "BOTTOMRIGHT", 0, gap)
      end
    end

The only change I had to make on my boss frames was removing the 'initial-width' and 'initial-height' attributes and using SetSize() instead.
There was no change as to how the frames were spawned.

I tried everything, just can't make the boss frame to show up.
My last resource was trying to copy EvilPaul's code but still "nada", no errors and no boss frames either.

The problem may be jumping and flapping his arms right in my face but i can't figure it out. I'm pasting the code for my frame creation so if you guys could please take a look at it I'll be eternally in your debt.

Code:
  local addon, ns = ...
  
  local cfg = ns.cfg
  local lib = ns.lib
  
  -----------------------------
  -- STYLE FUNCTIONS
  -----------------------------
  
-- Menus
local dropdown = CreateFrame("Frame", "MyAddOnUnitDropDownMenu", UIParent, "UIDropDownMenuTemplate")

UIDropDownMenu_Initialize(dropdown, function(self)
	local unit = self:GetParent().unit
	if not unit then return end

	local menu, name, id
	if UnitIsUnit(unit, "player") then
		menu = "SELF"
	elseif UnitIsUnit(unit, "vehicle") then
		menu = "VEHICLE"
	elseif UnitIsUnit(unit, "pet") then
		menu = "PET"
	elseif UnitIsPlayer(unit) then
		id = UnitInRaid(unit)
		if id then
			menu = "RAID_PLAYER"
			name = GetRaidRosterInfo(id)
		elseif UnitInParty(unit) then
			menu = "PARTY"
		else
			menu = "PLAYER"
		end
	else
		menu = "TARGET"
		name = RAID_TARGET_ICON
	end
	if menu then
		UnitPopup_ShowMenu(self, menu, unit, name, id)

end, "MENU")

The unitid for the boss units will be bossN, where N is a number, not boss. They're single-spawns, not header.

Hmmm... so i think it's best to use a dedicated style funcion for boss frames.

Thanks a lot, ill give it a try.

Update: worked like a charm. YAY!
