GridCustomLayouts
An extension for Grid.
GridLayoutLayouts.lua file contains many "Layouts" to arrange the unit buttons. Sometimes we may find it doesn't meet the needs.
This extension makes it possible to add new layouts in game. And it simplified the code to describe a layout.
Click "Grid - Layouts - Custom Layouts" to bring up a edit frame.
Each line stands for a Unit Button Group. The Grammer is:
attribute1=value1;attribute2=value2;...;attributeN=valueN;
List of the attributes
================================================
showRaid = [BOOLEAN] - true if the header should be shown while in a raid
showParty = [BOOLEAN] - true if the header should be shown while in a party and not in a raid
showPlayer = [BOOLEAN] - true if the header should show the player when not in a raid
showSolo = [BOOLEAN] - true if the header should be shown while not in a group (implies showPlayer)
nameList = [STRING] - a comma separated list of player names (not used if 'groupFilter' is set)
groupFilter = [1-8, STRING] - a comma seperated list of raid group numbers and/or uppercase class names and/or uppercase roles
strictFiltering = [BOOLEAN] - if true, then characters must match both a group and a class from the groupFilter list
sortMethod = ["INDEX", "NAME"] - defines how the group is sorted (Default: "INDEX")
sortDir = ["ASC", "DESC"] - defines the sort order (Default: "ASC")
groupBy = [nil, "GROUP", "CLASS", "ROLE"] - specifies a "grouping" type to apply before regular sorting (Default: nil)
groupingOrder = [STRING] - specifies the order of the groupings (ie. "1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8")
maxColumns = [NUMBER] - maximum number of columns the header will create (Default: 1)
unitsPerColumn = [NUMBER or nil] - maximum units that will be displayed in a singe column, nil is infinate (Default: nil)
The simplify is:
You don't need the entire class/role name, just the start part of it :
WARLOCK or WARLOC or WARL or WL -> "WARLOCK"
WARRIOR or WARR -> "WARRIOR"
MAINT or MT -> "MAINTANK"
MAINA or MA -> "MAINASSIST"
5/2 -> unitsPerColumn="5";maxColumns="2"
PET -> isPetGroup=true
INDEX or NAME -> sortMethod="INDEX" or sortMethod="NAME"
ASC or DESC -> sortDir="ASC" or sortDir="DESC"
STRICT -> strictFiltering="true"
GROUP or CLASS or ROLE -> groupBy="GROUP" or groupBy="CLASS" or groupBy="ROLE"
You don't need to write "groupFilter=", for example:
1,2,3,4,5 is just the same as groupFilter="1,2,3,4,5"
WARR,PAL,DRU is just the same as groupFilter="WARRIOR,PALADIN,DRUID"
If the group name is not group ids and not class or role names, for example:
Abcde,Xyz will be parsed to nameList="Abcde,Xyz"
That's all. A little complicated though. Advanced user only :(
Actually, I don't use this much, just put it here for sharing.
Attribute: noRepeat = true
Now you can add a NOREPEAT(NOREP,NOR and NR is just the same) attribute to non-pet group header, for example
WARRIOR,PAL;NOREPEAT 1;NOREPEAT 2;NOREPEAT 3;NOREPEAT 4;NOREPEAT 5;NOREPEAT Someone,Anotherone
In the above layout, the first group will contains WARRIORs and PALADINs, but not Someone or Anotherone.
And the next 5 groups will contains team 1-5 members, but not Someone or Anotherone, neither any WARRIORs or PALs.
Actually, group headers with NOREPEAT are parsed to specified nameList groups, therefore the 'groupBy' attribute will be ignore.
What i need to do for showing in a group: MT first, DD and Healer then?
groupFilter=2;groupBy=ROLE;sort=MT don't work.
How to do:
Column 1 (left) with 5 rows: Anyone, Anyone, Anyone, Anyone, Anyone Column 2 (right) with 5 rows: Tank 1, Tank 2, Myself, Anyone, Anyone
Order=NAME
Or
Order=GROUP
Or
Order=ROLE
If I typed one of these out would this work? Could group be changed to Order=1,2,3,4,5
?
I don't want any ordering, just the order that Blizzard has, because I was healing the other day, and by default Grid order by name, and my healers were getting confused as to who I was healing on fights like chimeron.
Is there a way to order like Blizzard without this mod?
im retarded or something, how can i make a single horizontal row with 1 in each colum? like stacked from up to down in a single row. thought it would be easy but i was wrong ;P
Any update for 4.1 the UI goes nuts am sure its a easy fix
really love the addon
Before Cata I had my group sorted like this:
Player, Party1, Party2, Party3, Party4
I accidentally deleted my settings =(
Now all I can do is:
Party1, Party2, Party3, Party4, Player
using "1;INDEX"
What am I missing to get the desired order? =/
I was thinking some like:
P P P P P
PT PT PT PT PT
P P P P P
PT PT PT PT PT
First time user to the layouts...
Seeking a single horizontal / vertical row of sleek vertical healthbars / mana bars,
Got what I intially wanted but noticed it wasn't grouping by 1 2 3 4 5 format... after further experimenting I noticed that it will repeat (at -least- my character's frame) for each new line of text.
Any ideas on what code I should try out?
Thanks for you time.
I want the groups in columns like normal, but I want all the pets to group in 1 column in 10 man rather than showing up in 3 columns like they are currently.
What would be the simplest way to do that?
is it possible to use TANK, HEAL, DD for the new raid-roles (since patch 4)?
I want a 5/2 grid for 10-raid and a 5/5 grid for 25-raid and just sort it like this:
TANK
WARR,PALA,DEATH,ROGUE (if no tank or heal)
SHAM,DRU (if no tank or heal)
all other classes (if no heal)
HEAL
is it possible?
Would it be possible to have my five toons appear (alphabetically), in column 1.
And for the remainder of the raid to appear (also alphabetically) in columns 2-5?
ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE;sortMethod = "List"
2;NOR
3;NOR
4;NOR
5;NOR
2,3,4,5/5
ToonA,ToonB,ToonC,ToonD,ToonE;NAME
1,2,3,4,5;5/4;NAME;NR
InsertPlayerNameHere
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8;9/5;NR;sortMethod=INDEX
PET
This way I would get a seperate box for myself, then all other players neatly arranged in 9/5 and seperate pet-column(s). I used NR to keep my name from showing twice. I noticed that in the R19 build that I'm currently testing the NR (or NOR/NOREP) attribute doesn't seem to work. As soon as I add NR to any custom layout the border of the grid frame does expand as if it's making room for the first party/raid-members column and the petbar but it doesn't show any boxes for them.
I hope you can fix this.
Thanks for your time and effort.
