LibAddonMenu-2.0  Popular! (More than 5000 hits)
Version: 2.0 r36
by: sirinsidiator, Seerah
LibAddonMenu is a library which offers many functions for add-on authors to simplify creating a configuration panel in the game's settings menu.

Users:

If the game cannot load some addon because it is missing LibAddonMenu-2.0 as a dependency, simply download and install it like you would any other addon. In case it shows as "out of date" in the game, simply enable the "allow out of date addons" checkbox.
IMPORTANT
In case you get an error that contains text like this:
user:/AddOns/<some other addon>/Libs/LibAddonMenu-2.0

Some other addon you have installed likely contains an old version of LibAddonMenu which is loaded before the most current one.

Make sure to search for LibAddonMenu-2.0 folders in your AddOns folder and delete all of them. Afterwards install the latest version of LibAddonMenu-2.0 separately.

Check Kyzderp's guide for more detailed instructions
Developers:

Ever since I (sirinsidiator) have taken over development of LAM-2.0 in 2015, the project is available on github and open for contributions by other authors.

With the ongoing effort to get rid of LibStub in favour of the library management capabilities provided by the game itself since Summerset was released, it is no longer recommended to embed LAM, or use LibStub to access it. Instead it should simply be specified as a dependency and accessed via the new LibAddonMenu2 global variable. Instead of providing it as part of another add-on, users should install and update it separately.

Quickstart:
Simply add LAM2 as a dependency in your addon manifest:
Code:
## DependsOn: LibAddonMenu-2.0
Optionally you can require a specific minimum version of LAM in case you rely on some features that are not available in earlier versions.
Code:
## DependsOn: LibAddonMenu-2.0>=30
In your code you can simply access the library via the global variable "LibAddonMenu2" and start creating your settings panel and controls:

Lua Code:
  1. local LAM = LibAddonMenu2
  2. local saveData = {} -- TODO this should be a reference to your actual saved variables table
  3. local panelName = "MyAddOnSettingsPanel" -- TODO the name will be used to create a global variable, pick something unique or you may overwrite an existing variable!
  4.  
  5. local panelData = {
  6.     type = "panel",
  7.     name = "MyAddOn Settings",
  8.     author = "me",
  9. }
  10. local panel = LAM:RegisterAddonPanel(panelName, panelData)
  11. local optionsData = {
  12.     {
  13.         type = "checkbox",
  14.         name = "My First Checkbox",
  15.         getFunc = function() return saveData.myValue end,
  16.         setFunc = function(value) saveData.myValue = value end
  17.     }
  18. }
  19. LAM:RegisterOptionControls(panelName, optionsData)

For more examples and information you can take a look at exampleoptions.lua, AwesomeGuildStore/Settings.lua, the LAM wiki or the source code. Each control has a full list of available properties in the comment at the start of the lua file.

Features:
  • Controls - LAM offers different control types to build elaborate settings menus
  • Reset to Default - LAM can restore the settings to their default state with one key press
  • Additional AddOn Info - Add a version label and URLs for website, donations, translations or feedback
  • AddOn Search - Can't find the settings for your AddOn between the other hundred entries? No problem! Simply use the text search to quickly find what you are looking for
  • Slash Commands - Provides a shortcut to open your settings menu from chat
  • Tooltips - In case you need more space to explain what a control does, simply use a tooltip
  • Warnings - If your setting causes some unexpected behaviour, you can simply slap a warning on them
  • Dangerous Buttons - when flagged as such, a button will have red text and ask for confirmation before it runs any action
  • Required UI Reload - For cases where settings have to reload the UI or should be stored to disk right away, LAM offers a user friendly way to ask for a UI reload.
  • Support for all 5 official languages and 6 custom localisation projects

Major Issue, apparently with LibAddonMenu

I cannot log into ESO if LibAddonMenu-2.0r32 is running.

I spent time doing a split-half verification, determined the inability to load into world was anytime LAM.2.0 was loaded, with the most common issues being never loading or timing out.

I removed LAM via Minion, verified it was removed, tested log in successfully, verified there weren't any other versions of it loading from inside other Addons and then tried a fresh install.

Issue recurred.
Update
When testing for interactions with Circonian's Addon Selector (which requires Votans Addon List and LibDialog), I was able to load LAM2.0r32 successfully. More split/half testing to see what is triggering the error when LAM is loaded.
How can I help resolve this? Every AddOn Addict knows how critical LAM 2.0 is to most of their customized interface, so I'm happy to help if I can.

Thank you!

Lua Code:
  1. [3] = {

  4.    choices = SV.profiles,
  5.    warning = "Reload UI to see new profiles added, and deleted profiles removed",
  6.    getFunc = function() return SV.currentProfile end,
  7.    setFunc = function(newValue) SV.currentProfile = newValue end,
  8. },

Is this behavior working as normal or have I messed something up?
I am not getting any errors in debug viewer and everything else is updating with SV changes like you would expect.

I had the same problem - I create a settings panel with:
Lua Code:
  1. panelControl = LAM2:RegisterAddonPanel(addonName, panelData)
  2. LAM2:RegisterOptionControls(addonName, controlStructure)

If I modify controlStructure afterwards, the change is not reflected in the settings panel. By reading LAM2 code I found out that the problem can be solved using "reference" attribute. Modify your code above to this:
Lua Code:
  1. [3] = {
  2.    type = "dropdown",
  3.    name = "Select profile:",
  4.    choices = SV.profiles,
  5.    warning = "Reload UI to see new profiles added, and deleted profiles removed",
  6.    getFunc = function() return SV.currentProfile end,
  7.    setFunc = function(newValue) SV.currentProfile = newValue end,
  8.    reference = "MyDropdownForProfileSelection",
  9. },
(the string is arbitrary, but must be unique) and then you can modify an object named MyDropdownForProfileSelection, for example do this:
Lua Code:
  1. MyDropdownForProfileSelection:UpdateChoices(SV.profiles, SV.profiles) -- second argument is for choicesValues
Hope that helps.

Add-On Settings Menu

Does anyone know anything about this bug in the Add-Ons Settings menu? There seems to be a glitch with the "defaults" button on the bottom of the settings windows for my Add-Ons. I think it has something to do with the 'LibAddonMenu' library. Does anyone know how to fix this?

It would be nice to be able to make a control invisible when defining it. I wanted to show a few settings just to nightblades and had to to some table mergings to achieve that

No, you didn't delete them all, otherwise it wouldn't show that your LibAddonMenu is loaded from within AutoCategory.
I did some more investigating.

Firstly, yes I had deleted all LibAddonMenu folders.

The problem is caused by having any out-of-date addon which depends on LibAddonMenu loaded. Minion failed to update my Combat Metrics. With that removed the error goes away. (Also updated it after, thanks Minion.)

No, you didn't delete them all, otherwise it wouldn't show that your LibAddonMenu is loaded from within AutoCategory.

Errors thrown by addons using LibAddonMenu-2.0

3 otherwise unrelated Addons all throw me a dialog full of errors when I try to change a setting. In each case the errors start with: "user:/AddOns/AutoCategory/Libs/LibAddonMenu-2.0/LibAddonMenu-2.0.lua:147: attempt to index a nil value"

The addons I'm using are Hodor Reflexes, JunkBuster, and Raid Notifier.

I have deleted all existing "LibAddonMenu-2.0" folders and installed the latest "LibAddonMenu-2.0" (17-Dec-20). In fact I've done this multiple times with no change in the behavior.

Any idea what's causing this?

Not sure if it would be of any help to you, but the iconpicker control actually already offers a SetColor function to change the color of the icons. Otherwise please create a ticket on github so I won't miss it when I next have time to work on it.
Hrm I don't want players to pick an icon in this case, so it's a mismatch. But I'll take a look, and also consider a ticket on github. Thanks for the quick response!

EDIT: Ended up using
Code:
reference = "RoleplayMarkerSettingsIconTexture",
To just update the color when the user changes it with:
Code:
RoleplayMarkerSettingsIconTexture['texture']:SetColor(r,g,b,a)

Of course I can use a custom controll (which will be my solution for now), but I feel it is not the neatest solution as I would basically copy - paste the default checkbox code.

Would you maybe consider to add the optional feature to set the checked and unchecked string manually in a future update?

Hey. The purpose of LAM is not just to give addon devs a way to quickly build settings menus, but also to give users a consistent experience across addons. Since many authors don't have any experience with UI/UX design, some things are intentionally left out to discourage the menus getting too crazy (although some have already just built around those limits with custom controls or by modifying the existing controls on the fly). You should also consider that the default text is already translated into many languages.

Not saying your idea is bad, but if you still feel like you need it after reading this, please create a ticket over on github and/or a pull request providing the necessary changes.

He's right, after the update, almost all other addons have issues. Went back to the previous r31 version.
For me it works with more than 100 addons active and there are thousands of users who installed and use it without a problem, so all I can say is "it works".
Without more information I can only assume that your installation is broken. You can try the following steps and if you send me the log as described below, I may even be able to tell you what exactly is going on:
  1. Update or remove old unmaintained addons as they are likely to cause issues with new game versions
  2. Remove all copies of LAM in other addons and install it separately
  3. If it still doesn't work, install LibDebugLogger, upload the saved var file here and pm me the link you get when you press "share".
Hope you understand that nothing is more frustrating than having someone tell you "the thing you made is broken" without telling you anything else.
