Any chance to update this for DF please?

In reply to lovelywaz:

 I think there are two changes to make this work in DF, but I don't have an active subscription to test it right now.

in FlaresThatWork.lua make the following changes:

line 99:

f:SetResizeBounds(f:GetSize())

line 52:

btn:RegisterForClicks("AnyDown", "AnyUp")

In reply to StevieTV:

 Thanks for suggestion but unfortunately it still doesn't work. Changing above now throwing a one line XML errors related to bindings I think.

1x Interface/AddOns/FlaresThatWork/Bindings.xml:2 Unrecognized XML: Binding

1x Interface/AddOns/FlaresThatWork/Bindings.xml:2 Unrecognized XML attribute: name

1x Interface/AddOns/FlaresThatWork/Bindings.xml:2 Unrecognized XML attribute: header

Few more and these errors show up one line each in separate BugSack number of errors section.

Also, I tried wMarker Addon in the meantime and it does the job. For anyone else either waiting for this update or looking for an alternative. You can "hide" Raid Marker (kill priority target) frame there if you just need the World Markers (highlighters) and that's it! 

In reply to lovelywaz:

 can you try removing `bindings.xml` from the FlaresThatWork.toc?

In reply to StevieTV:

 Yup, no errors and it seems to be working with a brief quick check. Any suggestions if we can resize/design the frame and change it to one row/column vertical or horizontal like wMarkers?

I prefer that frame after using it for a while, it's easier to leave it in a side without taking much space, rather than a big square block.

Thanks!

In reply to StevieTV:

 Those changes gets it working. Many thanks for that.
But now I've seen wMarker I'm switching to that. This will remove 2 addons that are not maintained (FlaresThatWork and QuickMark) for 1 addon that is. Sad day as I've used FlaresThatWork for so many years.

 In reply to ZalidTheBur:

Nice to know there's a maintained alternative. I've been fixing up flaresthatwork for years just to keep it working. Probably will make the switch also.

Getting this with new SL pre-patch

In reply to ZalidTheBur:

Fixes this addon with the following:

Line 88 change to 

local f = CreateFrame("Frame", addonName.."Border", UIParent, "BackdropTemplate")

Comment out line 123 like this:  

 -- f:RegisterEvent("PARTY_CONVERTED_TO_RAID")

No more errors for me in 9.0 but I can't move it anymore.

--removed excess comment

In reply to mmouserwow:

 Thanks for that. That sorted that one, but now I have a new one. Sigh.

Ah. Had a look and for some reason the first line only had one "-" instead of two to comment it out. Sorted now and addon is working :-)

In reply to ZalidTheBur:

 Glad its working.  Hopefully someone can figure out how to get it moving again...but for now its at least where I like it.

In reply to mmouserwow:

 I had no issues with moving it. I used LFG to create a group. Then ALT or CTRL left-mouse-button drag it to position. Then Shift left-mouse-button drag to resize.

removed excess comment

 Broken with 8.01 :(

In reply to Forge_User_14439038:

I have it working in 9.x

Here is a direct link to a ZIP of my FlaresThatWork

The key is to update line 88 of FlaresThatWork.lua to add reference to "Backdrop Template" in the CreateFrame statement

In reply to jddmichael:

 Thanks for SL fix, it's working!

Request for an option to make this into a vertical or horizontal bar.

How about adding the new flares to this!!!!  Orange, white, silver
