Question

I am trying to learn how to start making a add-on for World of Warcraft. I am trying to follow the book "World of Warcraft Programming" 1st edition but seems things have changed. I am trying to setup the XML to just get something on the screen with no Lua yet. I can not find the error, any help would be awesome!

    <Script File="GD_Guild.lua"/>

    <Button name="GD_GuildFrame" parent="UIParent" enableMouse="true"

                <Offset x="-30" y="-30"/>
            </Anchor>
        </Anchors>

        <Backdrop bgFile="Interface\DialogFrame\UI-DialogBox-Background"

            </Layer>
        </Layers>

            <OnLoad>

            </OnLoad>

            <OnEvent>
                GD_Guild_OnEvent(self, event, ...)
            </OnEvent>

            <OnClick>
                GD_Guild_ReportDPS()
            </OnClick>

            <OnDragStart>
                self:StartMoving()
            </OnDragStart>

            <OnDragStop>
                self:StopMovingOrSizing()
            </OnDragStop>
        </Scripts>
    </Button>
 </Ui>
Was it helpful?

Solution

There's a quote missing after name= in

<FontString name=$parentText"

However, this would likely cause an XML "syntax error" (malformed) so there may be additional problems. Perhaps your answer to the comments will shed further light.
