Talk:Interface Customization

Hi, is there a way to get the guildname of an NPC. Many NPCs are in guilds like "Hunter Trainer" how can ic get this Guildname. GetGuildInfo("target"); does not work, I tried this out.

Would be nice if someone can help me out.

Hi everyone
I have slowly begun a small gui framework, but i have a question i have not seen answered anywhere... so here comes...

Is there some way to create gui elements from LUA?

im thinking in the likes of

aNewFrameObject=Frame:new

or

aButtonObjectChildOfSomeFrameObject=SomeFrame:CreateChild("button")

An alternative option could be if there was a way to manipulate the xml document structure from LUA

If this is the case it should be possible to make a wery nice framework with the use of LUA's metastructures for tabels.

So far im building my framework on psodo objects that needs to get the node type("Frame","Button",...) and name("MyAddonFrame","MyAddOnButton1","MyAddonButton2",...) on creation and these needs to correspond to the types and names used in the xml which is a lot of annoying double work so thats why i ask

(Ah... it seems Slouken is adding what i need to 1.10... )

HOWTOs
Would love it if all those tutorials were changed to HOWTOs with the tag so they are automaticly indexed. -AnduinLothar 20:20, 29 Jan 2006 (EST)

Total redesign
I've spent quite a while cleaning up the Interface Customization category and main page, and created a whole new design for the main page. Hope you people out there both like the looks of it AND find it more useful than the old one!

 * Ooh, sexy! ... Although, I would make the blue a bit darker, and give it a hint of a border. I won't make any changes to it yet as you're still working on it :) -- Kirkburn 17:39, 12 June 2006 (EDT)


 * Nice, though I find one idiom confusing unless you're expecting it... That is for the API's, having the 'bold' main page linkable, and then under it, linkable sub-pages, but not also listing the main page there so it's clear you can get there.  I'd be inclined to go with "World of Warcraft API / API . Data Types . API Events" with both the title and API linking to the same place. Maybe that's just me. Flickering 17:44, 12 June 2006 (EDT)


 * Gah, nice catch. I hate that one myself, and now I went and did it. >.<   I'll fix it. --Mikk 18:14, 12 June 2006 (EDT)

Styling
ElusiveByte removed formatting from this page due to not looking good with Nostalgia skin. I propose a discussion takes place in Wowpedia talk:Village pump. Schmidt 22:57, 18 June 2006 (EDT)

I moved what discussion was here to the village pump as I had proposed earlier. Please proceed with the discussion there, since such formatting pervades the wiki. Schmidt 23:40, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

AddOns
Sorry Mikk, I didn't see the AddOns link already existed :) There should be some kind of link to the AddOns category, thought, I would've thought. If you were on IRC, I would have already asked :P -- Kirkburn 13:18, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

&rarr; IRC then. --Mikk 13:21, 19 June 2006 (EDT)

Addon Tutorials
Always declare your lua file prior to the xml in the toc so it's there before the xml calls the functions within.
