  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...

  Is it possible to hook the reputation bar's OnEnter script ? I want to add the reps of the other factions to the bar.
  
  I've tried ElvUI_ReputationBar and ElvUI_ReputationBarHolder from /fstack command, but get Attempt to index, a nil value
  
  I have also tried DB:ReputationBar:HookScript, but the same error message.
  
  Thank you

  This is what I am using, with AceHook-3.0. Please note the function I am calling is a local function named exactly the same as ElvUI's function. That was so I could keep track of what a function is doing, as I have many functions. If you want to use a normal function, see after the jump.
  
  Here is the non-local version, if you wanted to call MyAddon:SomeFunction()

  ElvUI does things differently than I am used to seeing. My first hurdle is that an ElVUI plugin does not have a ## SavedVariables: MyaddonDB line in the ToC. The second is an extension of a lack of an SV line. Normally I would use
  
  But of course, without the SV line, self.db is meaningless. I tried looking at BenikUI's code, but couldn't figure it out, other than nodding to myself that it is very...

  I currently have a slash function to clear chat with a /clear command that runs SELECTED_CHAT_FRAME:Clear()
  I would like to modify this to also clear that character's chat history. Would appreciate any tip regarding this, thanks.
  
  Last post
  
  There should be a button to clear Chat History and a button to clear Editbox History under /ec -> Chat -> General
  
  That button seems to clear the history of what you've sent, i'm not interested in that. I want to clear received messages history with a lua function or slash command and not a button.

  Hi,
  
  I have been looking for some time already for a macro to enable mouseover mode for certain action bars e.g 1,2,3 only.
  The closest topic I found was: but it enables/disables actions bars as far as I understand and I want it only to literaly check/uncheck option under:
  Elvui - Action Bars - Bar 1/2/3 - Mouse Over
  
  Is that possible and can somebody please share such macro?

  If ElvUI isn’t in your addons folder, it certainly isn’t going to load in game.
