oUF MoveableFrames Popular! (More than 5000 hits)

BTW: Yes I know it's spelled 'movable' and not 'moveable', but you'd be surprised how many people forget that. I also wanted this library to show in searches when the word 'move' was used. :P

Since so many oUF layouts have frames that cannot be moved or repositioned. I created this plugin to allow users to move frames without having to have any programming experience.

NOTE: This plugin requires that the oUF layout author add support for this plugin in their oUF layout. If support is not added then this plugin will not work.

Usage: Type /mvf to toggle the unlocking and locking of frames.

Header frames will have a small movable red square that can be positioned anywhere on the screen. You may or may not be able to see the frames attached to this anchor.

----------------------------
Authors:

NOTE: Authors you MUST make sure your frames and objects are created with NAMES. If no names are provided then the library will return errors. The library cannot possibly know how to save/restore a frame or object with no name.

To implement this plugin in your layout, simply add the code below in the style creation (frame creation) phase of your addon.

Code:

self.MoveableFrames = true

OPTIONAL: You can also use the new BlackList and WhiteList functions added in version 1.3:

Code:

oUF_MoveableFrames_BLKLST(framename)

OPTIONAL: Blacklisted frames will not be able to be moved or repositioned by the user. So if you have a specific frame you want not to be moved, then use this function.

Code:

oUF_MoveableFrames_WHTLST(framename)

OPTIONAL: Whitelisted frames will be able to be moved and repositioned by the user. This function can be used for frames outside of the oUF object set. So if you have custom frames you wish to be added to the moveableframes library, you can use this function to do so.

-----------------------
HEADER FRAME SUPPORT:
-----------------------

Header frames are now supported in this library. The 'oUF_MoveableFrames_HEADER' function will automatically create an anchor frame that can be moved by the user. This anchor will be stored and repositioned each time the user logs into the game. There is no special setup required. All frames that are passed to this function will have it's SetPoint set to the anchor.

Code:

oUF_MoveableFrames_HEADER(frame, desc, ofsx, ofsy)

NOTE: In order to see the anchors on the screen, the users must use the slash command /mvf. The anchor frames are hidden by default.

Haste's version doesn't require the addon author to do anything on their part. In fact, Dawn one of the authors whom I worked closely to develop much of the additions to this plug-in. Has already systematically removed all support for this plug-in from his layout. He was the first one to do so. ------------------- Also it doesn't help that Haste named his plug in practically the same name as mine. All that will do is cause confusion as to which is which. Mine was misspelled deliberately so that when a person searched for the word 'move' this plug-in would be listed. But I have nothing against Haste as I think he's a fine programmer and writes excellent code. If anything I'll just mark this plug-in as abandoned or something, if I continue to see people remove support for it. After all he is the creator of the core oUF to begin with, his version of the plug-in would always be much more efficient then mine. __________________ Click HERE for the ultimate idiot test. -Xruptor Last edited by Xruptor : 12-21-2009 at 11:09 AM.

That's cool his version is actually very neat. I guess that makes this mod obsolete now. Oh well

I added header frame support in version 1.5 and it's been working just fine for the layouts that use it

That might be it, since the layouts I tried (and used it fine, previously) are older layouts that haven't been updated in a bit. I'd also not updated MVF plugin since its 1.3 version until now.

I will check through and make sure. Thanks!

When moving around frames, the party and raid frames consistently reset. You drag, and then the frame bounces back to where it started from as soon as you let it go.

I want to use it with oUF_viv, however I'm using a function to make them moveable and have set movableframes to false for party and raidframes, since they reset anyway and I wanted to prevent creating a mess. Since function and moveableframes both save to layout-local.

But party and raid resetting their position is not only a prob with oUF_viv, from what I read, other layouts, like Caelian's also "suffer" from it.

edit: I could upload a modified version of viv (without the move function) as an optional file. Basically, it shouldn't be a problem to keep the code for testing purposes, though. Since oUF_MoveableFrames lets you move frames by clicking directly on the bars. I have my "move frames" sitting on the sides of bars to prevent clicking issues. You can also show those frames with an option (see setup part of the layout).

Thanks for looking into it.

Hmmm... let me take a look at this modified version. If what you say is true, then it would appear that headers may be causing some issues on several layouts.
