  Alright.
  
  The posting of errors seems to be the hardest part on the forums or discord. So let's cover if it should be considered a error or just ignore it.
  
  If the message begins with ADDON_ACTION_BLOCKED it is a Taint which never blames the right addon and is generally dismissive as an error. These are the hardest ones to diagnose because you guys have about 100 addons enabled and then it says...

1. ElvUI Layout Installer Framework Question(s) [Accepted Answer]

  Hello!
  
  First, thank you for the excellent documentation on the layout installer framework (and subsequent information in the discussion forum regarding optional dependencies). I was able to whip up an installer for my wife that would make everything consistent between her characters without the tedious manual adjustments/profile string importing that would have to be made per character. As I'm...

2. How to modify core functions from a plugin?
  1 Replies 1433 Views
  
  by Jusi, Fri Jul 20, 2018 8:07 pm
  
  First post
  
  I'm trying to turn Cuppycake's two-pixel border guide ( ) into a separate plugin so I don't have to edit core files after every ElvUI update. I have programming experience but I'm a total Lua noob so I decided to use Blazeflack's Plugin Framework to get started.
  
  While I understand the concepts in the framework, I'm not looking to create options in the config, just modify core ElvUI functions....
  
  Last post
  
  UF:Construct_UF functions fire way before any ElvUI plugin is loaded so hooking on those won't work. You can hook on the update functions though, like
  
  This will fire `myPlayerUpdate` each time `UF:Update_PlayerFrame` fires
  
  As for the toolkit.lua functions, look what Blazeflack has done in his CustomTweaks addon, 'NoBorders' module

3. Function to set profile in ElvUI?
  1 Replies 2587 Views
  
  by Nertica, Fri Jul 20, 2018 12:31 am
  
  First post
  
  I feel like I've tried search around a bit to find this function , but I'm not very adept in looking for particular strings of code. I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what the function to set or swap a profile would be in ElvUI, if there is one.
  
  Last post
  
  It is possible to change profile through a macro, but it may not work correctly if you use it while in combat. The macro looks like this:
  
  Replace MyProfileName with the profile you want to switch to and keep the quotes.

  Using the event you had is correct, then set an OnEvent script to change the backdrop when the target changes. In the OnEvent script you need to check UnitClassification API to determine their type. I can't remember if that is the exactly correct name of the API, so do a search to make sure.

  Hello everyone.
  
  I dind't know how to add a background to the Unit Frames of (Player, Target, ToT) so i used kgPanels to add one.
  
  Now the Problem is i dind't think about it how it looks when i have no target haha (example on the image)
  
  Maybe someone know how i can resolve this or can help me out a little.
  
  Thanks and sorry for my bad english :)
  
  Last post
  
  If someone else has the same problem someone helped me out in the kgpanels Forum.
  
  Set the target frame as the parent for your panel in kgPanels. If you don't know the name of your target frame, type /fstack and hover your mouse over it.
  
  Solved and looks now like this.
  
  The Names are. ElvUF_Player , ElvUF_Target , ElvUF_TargetTarget .
  
  Thank you Blazeflack.

  A shame, I would personally find it much better above the health bar and where most other addons put information such as name and also when casting the cast bar itself.

  First post
  
  Previously I was using the following bit of .lua to cause the Tukui tooltip to attach itself to the TukuiBags on open and closing. However if someone disables the Tukui Bags in favor of ArkInventory or Bagnon it throws an error because Tukui Bags are disabled. I thought the condition in line 1 would solve this issue but it doesn't.
  
  Last post
  
  Yeah that makes more sense now ^^.
  
  C.Bags is a table, and doesn't reflect whether a setting is enabled or not. You are basically just checking if the table C.Bags exists, which it always does and which is why your code is always executed.
  
  You want to check if bags are enabled with C.Bags.Enable
