Hum... i just can't get Elephant to show the record of some of my custom chat channels. If the Elephant window for channel xyz is open while someone writes something, it shows it. But as soon as i close elephant and reopen (or just switch the watched channel and back), it is blank again.

This version makes my game crash very shortly/immediately after I have logged in. This makes me very sad, as Elephant is one of my very favourite addons. :< Here's a little system info:
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac8,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 3.06 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 6 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz

System Version: Mac OS X 10.5.5 (9F33)

I kept using the old version of Elephant, until today I used the minimap icon on one of my characters to disable it (due to error messages it was giving her, strangely enough), and have since been unable to bring it back up as while the game shows it as taking memory and being active, it won't respond to any of the slash commands.

Okay, so I'm confused. Yes, I'm an addon noob. I can NOT get Elephant to work, but I don't have FuBar installed. Is that a must-have prerequisite? I installed Elephant via Curse Client to the correct directory.

Thanks in advance,

Cancel that, I realize my mistake - I forgot to enable out-of-date addons.

All better now. Great mod! Thank you.

I did some more detailed testing on the crash problem. It definitely occurred in the switch from 2.5 to 2.5.1. In 2.5 I do no crash, in 2.5.1 I do and all subsequent versions. I did some diffs on the files, and I found that the crashing problem seems to stem from the following change in Core-initialize.lua

In 2.5 the code has the following in lines 499-501:
elephantCopyFrameButtonHide:SetFont(Fonts.GameFontNormal.Font[1], Fonts.GameFontNormal.Font[2], "OUTLINE")
elephantCopyFrameButtonHide:SetTextColor(Fonts.ChatFontNormal.TextColor[1], Fonts.ChatFontNormal.TextColor[2], Fonts.ChatFontNormal.TextColor[3], Fonts.ChatFontNormal.TextColor[4])
elephantCopyFrameButtonHide:SetText(CLOSE)

In 2.5.1 lines 499-501 have:
elephantCopyFrameButtonHide:GetFontString():SetFont(Fonts.GameFontNormal.Font[1], Fonts.GameFontNormal.Font[2], "OUTLINE")
elephantCopyFrameButtonHide:GetFontString():SetTextColor(Fonts.ChatFontNormal.TextColor[1], Fonts.ChatFontNormal.TextColor[2], Fonts.ChatFontNormal.TextColor[3], Fonts.ChatFontNormal.TextColor[4])
elephantCopyFrameButtonHide:GetFontString():SetText(CLOSE)

By modifying just those lines to the newer ones from 2.5.1, I was able to get 2.5 to reproduce the same crash. It's possible that these are tied into some other change that causes the crash that I don't understand, but I was hoping this information would be helpful. I checked a bunch of the other files in the mod and this seemed to be the only one that had any noticable difference between the two versions.

I guess I will just have to stick with the old version of the mod then. It is only your mod which causes the client crash and only the newer versions, I doubt Blizzard would do anything at all to solve it they'd just tell me to uninstall the mod. Really a shame, I love Elephant. Is it possible something you changed between 2.5 and 2.5.2 could be related to the problem?

I disabled every addon but Elephant on one of my characters and tried again to do /chatwho # with the most recent Elephant (2.5.3.1-beta) installed and again I got a crash to desktop. This is what was in the crash reporter:

Hi, I worked out how to use General and Misc buttons, you need to click on the tick next to them to get the text to show up.
Got an error message for you, not sure if it will help generally;
Date: 2008-10-25 09:47:39
ID: 58
Error occured in: Global

Message: ..\AddOns\Elephant\Event-Handle.lua line 24:

Not sure exactly what triggered it, I took a taxi, landed and was afk at the time.

I installed the latest version again (2.3.5.1-beta) and still when I do a /chatwho # I get a client crash. I've reverted again to 2.5 for now. Please fix soon, I love this mod and I'd love to be able to use the newest version.

I also would love a search feature if you ever get around to putting one in :)

Hi, got 2.5.2-beta. I see stuff in the large window for all side icons except; Custom, General and Misc. Are these supposed to appear in the main window?
