Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but just logged on for 1st time in a few weeks and I noticed my Chocolate bar is no longer visible. When I go to add on's its listed but nothing comes up when I tab onto it.. When I do a /chocolatebar nothing happens either.. Is there an update to this 

 

For anyone landing here in search of the latest version of ChocolateBar:

 

Overview

- There is an available update for 9.x!

- At the time of this post, it has not yet been published here (Curseforge) or WoWInterface

- One of the authors/maintainers of ChocolateBar has published the update to GitHub

 

How do I make use of this updated version (prior to it being published here)?

1. 1. Navigate to GitHub's "Releases / Tags" UI for ChocolateBar repo

2. Locate 3.6.2 (latest version as of this post; this includes the changes outlined in earlier comments by various users)

3. Select "Source code (.zip)" to download the addon itself

4. Unzip/extract the addon (should yield a folder called "ChocolateBar-3.6.2") - this is the addon

5. Move the addon (folder) into World of Warcraft's "Addons" directory (../Interface/Addons/)

6. Rename the addon (folder) to "ChocolateBar"

7. Find and install the Ace3 (lib) addon (more info below)

 

Why do I need to install Ace3 libraries?

As mentioned above, in this specific situation you'll need to install the Ace3 libraries (addon). When downloading and installing an addon manually - and in this case, directly from a repository hosted on GitHub - the required dependencies (i.e. "other addons/libraries that need to be in place in order to use this addon") may or may not be included. This is largely influenced by code-related licensing- like the MIT License  or, more specific to our WoW-related situation, the Ace3 BSD License 

 

All that said - ChocolateBar (via GitHub) does not include the required dependencies (Ace3 libs) (and this is ok/not abnormal). As a result, we must simply install the dependencies ourselves - in this case, various Ace3 libs (so we'll just grab the whole bundle, to be safe). Usually, an addon-updater will install dependencies for you (or are typically bundled when publishing to simple aggregators like Curseforge).

 Following this to a tee I still do not see Chocolate Bar at all in game. It's not in the interface addons menu, even if it's the only addon I choose upon log in.

In reply to Maerdred:

 ou'll also need to ensure that Lib: Ace3 is enabled in the "Addons" UI as well

In reply to Knaledge:

 It actually did that automatically, but yes I did.

::Edit::

I just found it. It was LibSharedMedia-3.0 which wasn't installed.

In reply to Maerdred:

 Ah nice! Which specific addon did you have to install? (link, if possible)

 I'm having the same issue. The buff frame is slightly overlapping with the chocolate bar frame.

In reply to Knaledge:

 Am I the only one who is having the issue of the buffs not moving down from the bar at the top of the screen?

I've fixed that using Dominos and Dominos_Auras (the later does work with 9.01).

Why is the latest version (3.6.2 as of now) still not showing up on Curse?

In reply to pippett1:

 Author has made an update (post below you) but doesn't seem to be appearing on CurseForge yet as far as I can see. 

Further down the comments you can see some manual edits you can make to the LUA files to get it working with 9.0.1

So I had a look at the Pull Request that's open on Chocolate bar here

And made the changes manually since for some reason the commit hasn't been accepted. I'll post the fix below.

Open Bar.lua
On Line 8 Replace

local pairs, ipairs, table, math, mod = pairs, ipairs, table, math, mod

 With

local _G, pairs, ipairs, table, math, mod = _G, pairs, ipairs, table, math, mod

On Line 30 replace

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", name, UIParent, "BackdropTemplate")

 With

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame",name, _G.UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

 Save & Close

Open Chocolate.lua

On line 1 Replace

local ChocolateBar = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("ChocolateBar")

 With

local ChocolateBar = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):GetAddon("ChocolateBar")

On Line 373 Replace

local chocolate = CreateFrame("Button", "Chocolate" .. name)

 With

local chocolate = CreateFrame("Button", "Chocolate" .. name, _G.UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

 Save & Close

Open DropPoints.lua

After Line 3 which reads

local dopPoints

 Add

local _G = _G

On Line 8 Replace

local dropFrames = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, _G.UIParent)

 With

local dropFrames = CreateFrame("Frame", nil, _G.UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

On Line 22 Replace

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", name, ChocolateBar.dropFrames)

 With

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", name, ChocolateBar.dropFrames, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

Save & Close

Open Options.lua

On Line 1 Replace

local LibStub = LibStub

 With

local LibStub = LibStub

On Line 916 Replace

moveBarDummy = _G.CreateFrame("Frame",bar)

 With

moveBarDummy = _G.CreateFrame("Frame",bar, _G.UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

Save and Close

Open modules/CB_Lauchers.lua

On Line 86 Replace

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", "CB_LaunchersFrame", _G.UIParent)

 With

local frame = CreateFrame("Frame", "CB_LaunchersFrame", _G.UIParent, BackdropTemplateMixin and "BackdropTemplate")

Save and Close

ChocolateBar should now be working as normal.

In reply to MrsAngelD:

yeah i made this pullrequest. i will try to keep the fork working, until the original addon gets an update.

you could also download the addon release directly if you are to lazy to do changes yourself ;)

https://github.com/agentschmitt/ChocolateBar/releases/download/3.4/ChocolateBar-3.4.zip

In reply to agentschmitt:

 Thanks for doing the work, honestly I'm not a coder. I can read other peoples work and understand it and I can easily make changes when I need to as long as I have instructions, but I can't actually write anything myself..lol. So thank you for at least providing some fixes to the problem ;).

In reply to MrsAngelD:

 ChocolateBar\DropPoints.lua:58: '<eof>' expected near 'end'

also bars are not movable

In reply to I_hate_you_:

 You should check the edits, and make sure you did them properly, or you could download the zip file provided by agentschmitt in the comment above. It was him who provided the edit, so his zip file should work.

In reply to MrsAngelD:

 Thanks a lot!! 

This works :)

You saved me friend!

In reply to MrsAngelD:

 Thank you!!!!
