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 In case it shows as "out of date" in the game, simply enable the "allow out of date addons" checkbox.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:

local LAM = LibAddonMenu2
local saveData = {} -- TODO this should be a reference to your actual saved variables table
local panelName = "MyAddOnSettingsPanel" -- TODO the name will be used to create a global variable, pick something unique or you may overwrite an existing variable!
 
local panelData = {
    type = "panel",
    name = "MyAddOn Settings",
    author = "me",
}
local panel = LAM:RegisterAddonPanel(panelName, panelData)
local optionsData = {
    {
        type = "checkbox",
        name = "My First Checkbox",
        getFunc = function() return saveData.myValue end,
        setFunc = function(value) saveData.myValue = value end
    }
}
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

You should probably update then. That's been fixed for almost a month.

wilson0x4d Premium Member Forum posts: 6 File comments: 180 Uploads: 10	Panel Hide/Show Events? Seerah, is there an event we can hook to notify us when the our panel closed (e.g. when options have been saved) ? Similarly is there an event we can hook to notify us before the UI is displayed? (this latter is not as important, but equally useful.) I scanned the source code, didn't see what I was looking for. Not being familiar with WindowManager and ZO_OptionsPanel APIs I figure I should ask you and see if it's something you can add if not already present. The idea, of course, is that when the options are changed I'm able to process new values. I realize I can perform this kind of work from within the get/set methods defined when creating controls through LAM, but a single event would be more efficient. Additionally, there seems to be a limit on how much text can be typed into an EditBox, is this an ESO imposed limit? Is there any way for us/you to increase that limit?

LAM doesn't do any of the opening, showing, whatever. You could try the below for opening. I haven't looked for anything for when the panel closes. There are a few different ways for when it happens. I would try the below again, checking for when it's not your panel, or hook the function for when the options panels hide.

Lua Code:

ZO_PreHook("ZO_OptionsWindow_ChangePanels", function(panel)
            if panel ==  panelID then
                              --do stuff
                        end
        end)

Additionally, there seems to be a limit on how much text can be typed into an EditBox, is this an ESO imposed limit? Is there any way for us/you to increase that limit?

I noticed this when creating my notepad addon. I guess I forgot to put a fix in to LAM for it. If you don't want to wait for me to upload, you can do
MyControlNameEdit:SetMaxInputChars(x)

Thanks for a great Add-On btw, has saved me who knows how much time and effort!

You're welcome to you and everybody else!

wilson0x4d Premium Member Forum posts: 6 File comments: 180 Uploads: 10	'Defaults' not applied correctly for EditBox, Checkbox, other? When I click "Defaults" I get some odd behavior, and in some cases it appears to disable itself which may actually be intentional within LibAddonMenu (but oddly undesirable in at least one case of mine.) I'm going to PM you a new version of LibAddonMenu in a bit, hopefully you can take a look at it compared to what is in r6 and see my intent. Right now what I have will work, but I feel like it's prone to error if LibAddonMenu ever changes how it builds some of its controls (and I'll be stuck refactoring my code.) Similarly, I can't be the only person to need support for resets and re-initialization to predetermined defaults.

Perhaps for a 2.0 version. But not in its current state.

LilBudyWizer Forum posts: 32 File comments: 11 Uploads: 4	A real nice function would be the ability to collapse header. You see it on the main menu. You click settings and it expands settings. I don't doubt it would be involved and a bit of a hack, but it's a library. Supporting additional types beyond the stock ones and additional functionality is a natural extension of the library. When it comes to additional types an addon supplied dialog would be one of the most desirable. A list is getting a bit cumbersome with even simple addon with lots of checkboxes. As an example I'm working on an addon that has checkboxes for enable and logging along with a slider in seven categories. A dialog could do that in seven lines, i.e. two checkboxes and slider on each line with row and column labels. As a list though it's actually 28 lines, more actually. I can use a button to pop up a detailed options dialog with this providing basic options which I'll likely do at a later date, but it would be nice if it just popped a custom dialog. Particularly here since I have no user interface, just settings. A slash command or keybind to pop the dialog is a bit obscure for non-techie users. If you could pop a dialog you would be able to address the complaint below about just how many settings you can end up when you have lots of addons installed. A tie in with ESOUI would be real cool. I don't know if ESO supports metadata like WoW, but tags for categories in the manifest would seem a natural. You could upload the addon with it pulling the tags from the manifest then those same tags used for categories of settings by your library. Certainly not a now or soon suggestion, but long-term certainly, to me, a growth path for the library. Along the same lines, since you go into this business, a separate library to attaching to standard dialogs would be nice. I'll make a general post for that though. While a separate library it seems a good niche to be the one that makes things play nice together. Having this addon gives you a bit of authority.

I would like to have such a feature for my addon. I think I would need (1) a callback which fires whenever a setting is changed and (2) a way to disable a setting. Callback: Is there such a callback or event handler I can register for checkboxes, sliders, colorselection etc.? Disable settings: I tried to call setDisabled(boolean) and setEnabled(boolean) for the settings, but these function do not exist. Is there a function I can call to disable a setting? Any idea? Cheers, Klaus

Not yet - it seems I overlooked this one. Please click the Features button below the download button and file a request for my to-do list.

A single dimensional list just doesn't do real well for multi-dimensional options, i.e. sheet, row, column, cell.

The way the library is set up, this is what I can do for you now. (Though, again, I won't be able to get to this right away. I have quite a few other things on my plate at the moment.)
