   ElvUI and oUF Custom Unit Frame Tags
   Credits Dandruff
   
   What are tags?
   Sometimes you will want certain information on your Unit Frames. Some people would like to see what group they are in, how much health they have left as a percent or an abbreviated value. Tags will allow you to add this information and more to your Unit Frames.
   
   Elv has gone to great lengths to make sure you are covered...

   This is a framework you can use if you want to create an installer for one or more of your layouts.

   Hi Christinxa . As outlined in the Errors. I Need Help section of this thread, please create a new thread in the lua section of the forum. That will allow a much easier discussion about your issue only, while also preventing clutter in this thread.

   I've been meaning to create this framework for a while, since more and more people are becoming interested in modifying ElvUI through their own plugins.
   
   The following example is a framework of how to create some options that can be handled in the ElvUI Config.

   If you have questions or comments about this framework then feel free to post them here.

   How to properly use the framework as a skeleton for your own plugin: ()
   
   You should change MyPluginName to something unique, perhaps incorporating your username or using a name that describes what the plugin is meant to do. Example: BlazePlugin . Changing the title in the .toc file is optional, but you should always make sure you use a unique name when you create a module in ElvUI:
   
   You should...

   I know this isn't a major priority and I'm very happy that you've even included a setting in the LUA for us 2 pixel border fans, but I do have to ask are nameplate thick borders (see below) expected behaviour at the moment?

7. [v10.83] Module Copy and how to use it

   by Darth_Predator, Sat Nov 17, 2018 8:19 pm

   

   In 10.83 there is a new feature called Module copy .
   It is designed for quick copy setting for a single module from one profile to another without the need to switch to it (or multiple other profiles) every time you change some option and want it to be exactly the same across all of your profiles on alts or different specs.
   So here is a quick and the most detailed guide for it I can come up...

   IMPORTANT: As of WoW patch 8.1, some of the game subfolder paths have changed.
   Be sure to set the new path in Tukui client by selecting 'File' > 'Set Directory' to World of Warcraft\_retail_\ .
   
   Things to have in mind
   Tukui & ElvUI are complete Blizzard ui replacements. This means that they already have Blizzard frames skinned, unitframes and actionbars premade, etc. So, addons like Bartender...

   When you log into game - look at chat, what version of ElvUI does it say? If it isn't 11.14, it isn't the most current version.
   
   Type in chat in game
   /luaerror on
   
   Is there an error? Does it fix it? Do you get anything written in chat?
   
   Upload a screenshot of your addons folder (showing the file path) showing ElvUI & ElvUI_OptionsUI in your addons folder.
