Everytime I try to open up /kgpanels config I get the error kgpanels: DISABLED, does anyone know how to fix this? thx in advance

Hi, excellent addon btw :)

I was wondering:

I'm trying to make the healthbar look like it rises from some other part off my ui, when i target someone or entering combat. I got all the other stuff working in the script but can't find out haw to access the objects (HPBar) coordinates from the scripting in kgpanels.

Tried stuff like kgPanelsDB.global.layouts.<panelname>.test.absolute_bg.URx self:setoffset

Don't know what to call for and where i should insert the new cords.

It seems that since 3.2 I cant use profiles within kgPanels anymore. I deleted all the SavedVariables and started from scratch, created a new profile for one of my characters, then logged onto the other character, created a new profile for the 2nd character, copied the first profile and then modified it. However, regardless of which profile i'm working on it always changes the settings for both of them. Might be an issue with the "Copy From" function.

Hey kagero - I have seen a couple of your posts on pitbull4 threads, but i have a question about the linking of kgPanles to the show and hide of the pitbull frames. This is in an effort to remove the lag present when using the normal RegisterEvent process.

Any insights? Googled the hell out of it and cant find any hooks to pitbull.

Hi, I posted an issue on curse Im having and today's update didn't fix it unfortunately. I have two panels that are parented to My Unit frames, for some reason the panel with Background strata is appearing over the panel with Low strata. This gets fixed temporarily by quickly adjusting the background panel's level from 0 to 20 then back to 0. But when I relog the strata goes back to cover the low strata panel.

Is this a known issue after 3.2, because my settings have not changed and it worked before the patch. I have tried everything, re parenting, diff stratas, and new panels. I dont know what else to do to fix it. Any ideas? Thanks so much for any help.

Is it possible to do something like, if a panel is attached to the chat box, it will be able to shrink with the fading text? So like if all the text is faded out the panel will not be visible.

After patch 3.2, I have a massive framerate drop(I go from 60 to 7) with KgPanels. Has anyone else noticed this, and if so is it a simple fix or does the addon neeed to be updated?

Thanks, Safturento

I have been having problems since 3.2 as well. Specifically the strata on 3 panels is not being remembered on logout. I have 2 panels layered for three different parts of my UI. The background strata panels are appearing over the low strata panels. When I fix this by changing background panels to low then back to background all appears fixed until logout, then same thing happens. This is the only issue I have noticed since 3.2 but its a big one for me as these panels are a focus point in my UI. Hope this can be fixed, and thanks for all your time and efforts!

Please update!! I love this addon!

my problems only started with 3.2 before it worked great

I liked eePanels better :(

i have panels move on their own almost every time i log or /reload ui

After patch 3.2 kgPanels isn't working right for me? Anyone else having this issue?

i have panel5 parented to my target frame "PitBullUnitFrame3" panel hides and shows properly,
this panel is placed directly on top of another panel, panel5b, i would like to have panel5b hide when panel5 is shown and show when panel5 is hidden. any help with this script would be greatly appreciated.

here are links to pics if this will help.....

I wish I could find clearer documentation for anchoring panels to specific frames, e.g. panels that only show/hide when the target frame is in use. When attempting to use the anchor feature, it seems to work sporadically or throw "nil value" errors at me. I have found a few random scripts, but adding script text does something weird where once I add an onload script it disappears, and then all other script boxes are uneditable. Overall trying to get frames to appear or disappear dynamically seems quite buggy.

I figured out what the issue is. The length of the name i give to the art element when adding it (the file name length did not seem to make a difference however) was too short.

I was trying to label my elements with short names (like going from DemonicLeft to DL) To make the lists easier to read. Well apparently the names have to be at least 3 characters long.

My test:

• Part 1) Removed the WTF and started fresh. Enabled only kgpanels initially. Loaded my original art under the element name D1. The art shows in preview. Create a layout named Test. Create a new panel. Select the texture D1. During the selection the art is also showing in the preview. Set the panel color to white and slide the alpha slider to 100%. Box shows as totally white.

• Part 2) Add a second texture under the name Center using the renamed art from my first example. Create a new panel in the same layout and set the texture as center. It shows as would be expected.

• Part 3) Delete D1 element and re-add it under the name Middle (original art). Make a new panel and set it as the middle texture which works just fine.

• Part 4) Using the original art i add it several times over under various names (D12, D123, C1 and C12) and so on to see if its the numbers throwing it off. All worked except for the C1 name. So i concluded it was the name of the element causing it not to load in the panel.

During parts 2-4 I had enabled bugsack to see if any errors dropped and none did. Did a quick retest of 2-4 without it and got the same results so it had nothing to do with a reload.

Hope that helps. If its not something worth trying to correct it might be worth while to add a note on element name length in the FAQ in-game.

P.S. Sorry it took so long to reply. Had a busy week. =)
