Edit: I fixed it myself. I just added:

if PortalsDB.scrollListSize == nil then

PortalsDB.scrollListSize = 33

end

Into "function frame:PLAYER_LOGIN()", just after the whole "Upgrade from versions" part. So this part around line 1194 now looks this way:

elseif PortalsDB.version < 2 then

PortalsDB.showItems = true

PortalsDB.showItemCooldowns = true

PortalsDB.announce = false

PortalsDB.version = 4

end

if PortalsDB.scrollListSize == nil then

PortalsDB.scrollListSize = 33

end

if icon then icon:Register('Broker_Portals', obj, PortalsDB.minimap) end

CreateSettingsPanel()

PrepareMenuData()

PrepareMenuData()

self:UnregisterEvent('PLAYER_LOGIN')

In reply to artscout375: Perhaps it was because I updated from a very old version? My version was over a year old (I think it was almost two years old). The Curseforge client did not automatically recognize the add-on when I reinstalled my PC (restored my addons from a backup), and therefore it had not been updated for a long time.

EDIT: My SavedVars looked like this:

PortalsDB = {

["fontSize"] = 12,

["showItemCooldowns"] = true,

["showItems"] = true,

["showHSItems"] = true,

["version"] = 5,

["announce"] = false,

["minimap"] = {

["minimapPos"] = 270.9549169569074,

["hide"] = false,

},

}

before the update. The lua file started with an empty line. I believe your upgrade code only updated it to version 6, where “scrollListSize” is not available. The next time you start the addon, the database would be updated to version 7. The next time you start it, it would be updated to version 8, and so on. Perhaps you should check the versions in reverse order? First check if it is <2, then if it is 4, then if it is 5, and so on. This way, even the oldest DB version will be updated to the latest version on the first launch.

EDIT 2: Or perhaps an “all-in-one” solution? Something like this:

local currentDBVersion = 9

if (not PortalsDB) or (PortalsDB.version == nil) or (PortalsDB.version < currentDBVersion) then

PortalsDB = (PortalsDB ~= nil) and PortalsDB or {}

PortalsDB.minimap = (PortalsDB.minimap ~= nil) and PortalsDB.minimap or {}

PortalsDB.minimap.hide = (PortalsDB.minimap.hide ~= nil) and PortalsDB.minimap.hide or false

PortalsDB.showItems = (PortalsDB.showItems ~= nil) and PortalsDB.showItems or true

PortalsDB.showHSItems = (PortalsDB.showHSItems ~= nil) and PortalsDB.showHSItems or true

PortalsDB.showItemCooldowns = (PortalsDB.showItemCooldowns ~= nil) and PortalsDB.showItemCooldowns or true

PortalsDB.showChallengeTeleports = (PortalsDB.showChallengeTeleports ~= nil) and PortalsDB.showChallengeTeleports or true

PortalsDB.showChallengeSubCat = (PortalsDB.showChallengeSubCat ~= nil) and PortalsDB.showChallengeSubCat or false

PortalsDB.showEngineeringSubCat = (PortalsDB.showEngineeringSubCat ~= nil) and PortalsDB.showEngineeringSubCat or true

PortalsDB.showChallengeSubCat = (PortalsDB.showChallengeSubCat ~= nil) and PortalsDB.showChallengeSubCat or false

PortalsDB.showTeleportsSubCat = (PortalsDB.showTeleportsSubCat ~= nil) and PortalsDB.showTeleportsSubCat or false

PortalsDB.scrollListSize = (PortalsDB.scrollListSize ~= nil) and PortalsDB.scrollListSize or 33

PortalsDB.sortItems = (PortalsDB.sortItems ~= nil) and PortalsDB.sortItems or false

PortalsDB.announce = (PortalsDB.announce ~= nil) and PortalsDB.announce or false

PortalsDB.fontSize = (PortalsDB.fontSize ~= nil) and PortalsDB.fontSize or UIDROPDOWNMENU_DEFAULT_TEXT_HEIGHT

PortalsDB.version = currentDBVersion

end

This code checks whether the database exists, is not empty, and is at least the current version (using the variable currentDBVersion). If one of the three criteria is met, the code goes through all possible entries in the database and checks for “nil” (i.e., not present). If it really does not exist, the default value is set, but if it already exists, the existing value is retained. Finally, the database version is set to the latest version.

EDIT 3: Or maybe just "if (PortalsDB.version ~= currentDBVersion) then". If the PortalsDB does not exist or is empty, PortalsDB.version would be nil and therefore not == currentDBVersion.

EDIT 4: I also translated all the missing phrases into german ;) But 2 phrases are missing from the tool: L["SORT_ITEMS"] = "Gegenstände alphabetisch sortieren" and L["SORT_ITEMS_TOOLTIP"] = "Wenn diese Option aktiviert ist, werden die Elemente in alphabetischer Reihenfolge angezeigt, andernfalls werden sie wie bisher in der Reihenfolge angezeigt, in der sie in die Datenbank eingegeben wurden".

It is the retail version.

Sorry I did not post that . I hope this helps. Thanks for the fast update fix.

We have a problem . Just did the update and I just got another error.

It looks like portals from Season 1 and Season 2 are mixed together, and some of the Season 2 portals aren't showing up. There doesn’t seem to be an option to edit the list — is there any way to fix this?

Does anyone know if there is a way to sort the challenge portal subsection by expansion? With the amount of dungeon portals in game currently, having them all grouped together in a single subsection is starting to get unruly.

I've created a pull request to fix the issue introduced with 11.1.5. If you need a new version before they update the official release, you can use my fork at https://github.com/Amadeus-/Broker_portals

Hi,

I'm playing the new fresh servers.

Someting I can do to get the addon working?

In reply to artscout375:

I submitted a pull request to fix spells not currently working on the retail client. I explained the reason why it wasn't working and the methodology I used to fix it on the pull request itself at https://github.com/artscout/Broker_portals/pull/10

Also, I don't necessarily mind the engineering portals being in a separate menu, but I hate not having a way to quickly see the cooldown on them. If I get some time I'll work on it.

It looks like The War Within's Engineering portal item, "Wormhome Generator:Khaz Algar", hasn't been added to the list yet.
