LibAboutPanel-2.0
LibAboutPanel-2.0
LibAboutPanel-2.0 is a World of Warcraft Lua library for displaying addon metadata in Blizzard's Settings UI or as an AceConfig-3.0-compatible options table. It works with all valid WoW clients.
Requirements
- Required: LibStub
- Optional: AceConfig-3.0, if using
:AboutOptionsTable()
Quick Usage
For Ace3 addons, embed LibAboutPanel-2.0 when creating your addon object:
local MyAddon = LibStub("AceAddon-3.0"):NewAddon("MyAddon", "LibAboutPanel-2.0")For non-Ace3 addons, embed the library into your addon object:
LibStub("LibAboutPanel-2.0"):Embed(MyAddon)Or use it directly:
local LAP = LibStub("LibAboutPanel-2.0")Create a Blizzard Settings About panel:
MyAddon:CreateAboutPanel("MyAddon")
-- or
LAP:CreateAboutPanel("MyAddon")Create an AceConfig-3.0-compatible About options table:
options.args.about = MyAddon:AboutOptionsTable("MyAddon")AboutOptionsTable() only returns the table. Your addon is responsible for registering it with AceConfig-3.0 or embedding it in an existing options table.

Posted Jul 26, 2024Hello!
One of my addon users reported this error. I've tried looking to see if this code was renamed or something but haven't found anything yet. Hoping that this error message helps!

Posted Aug 9, 2024In reply to SweetsourGamer: Sorry for the late reply. Have you updated your pkgmeta to use the new method to get LibAboutPanel-2.0's repository? The old method works, but adds extra files to your addon which aren't needed. See the main description for details.

Posted Aug 5, 2024In reply to SweetsourGamer: Please tell the author of "...omAudio" to push an updated zip. I cannot read the full name of the addon. The fix is in LibAboutPanel-2.0 version 1.0.71.

Posted Nov 5, 2023Not sure how you managed this; but within the addon; inside "LibAboutPanel-2.0" > "LibStub" -- there are two "LibStub.lua" files.
Which one is needed?

Posted Nov 7, 2023In reply to JDM12983: I'll check on that. There should only be one. EDIT: I looked at a couple of addons I wrote, and see one copy of LibStub. Which addon are looking at?
