Issues with certain addons since re-installing

From responses i've had from others no one else has issues with these addons;
WoWMaps
Weblinks
Xbar3
UltimateMailMod

but since reinstalling the RoM Client i cannot install these to function properly, the Xbar interface will load but none of the functions work, all responses welcome, can re-post error messages if/when required

thanks all

There must be some kind of error message. Without these it will be very hard to find your problem. Search for a green glowing, red minimap button to show these, or force the frame to be shown with the command

/run BugMessageFrame:Show()


Please report the errors you have. The first ones (about 3) are the most important errors, because mostly the rest only happened because one of these.

Upon Installing Ultimate Mail Mod the other Addons listed cease to function, everything works prior to instlaling UMM with 0 Errors

First few Errors are as follows


Error Amount 1/46:
call ChatFramChannelChange's OnEvent, line: [string '?']:393: attempt to index global 'g_ChannelChangeConfig' (a nil value)


Error Amount 2/46:
interface\AddOns\UltimateMailMod\Library/Tools.lua [string '?']:11: Cannot find a library instance of "Sol".


Error Amount 3/46:
interface\AddOns\UltimateMailMod\Library/Config.lua cannot resume non-suspended coroutine

Seems like UMM needs Sol but hasn't included it to the addons files.
Download the Sol library from http://rom.curseforge.com/addons/sol/ and install it like a normal addon.
That should solve the error. If not, just report the new error messages.

I have been having this error for months now, and a month or so started getting dc a lot and heavy lag, so uninstalled all addons. and imho xbar sucks compared to zzinfobar. I went through and did one addon at a time to narrow down that xbar was causing error.when I changed from xbar to zzinfobar the above error message quit popping up. dunno why.

I think i better correct that. Normally, and I say normally on purpose, because I can't tell XBar's internal stuff because I don't know it's source code as well as all it's additional addons, XBar should not cause the g_ChannelChangeConfig error to happen more frequent. It seems simply not logically to me. This is an original game interface error, occuring on chat messages in the early loading process, which Runewaker hasn't fixed yet. There are some little pieces of code around to fix that manually. My quick 'n' dirty variant:

	b1 = getglobal("ChatFrameChannelChangeButton"..ID.."Highlight_");
	b2 = getglobal("ChatFrameChannelChangeButton"..ID.."Highlight2_");

	elseif(g_ChannelChangeConfig.HighLight) then
		b1:Show();

		b1.playCount = 0;
		b1.alphaValue = 0.2;
		b1.state =  nil;
	else
		b1:Hide();
		b2:Hide();
		b3:Hide();
	end
end

The ChatFrame error can happen at any time. I've had it pop up on a clean install with no add-ons whatsoever. The error is actually in the game's default chat frame UI. I'm not sure what exactly causes it as it seems somewhat sporadic, but it isn't caused by add-ons. That doesn't mean add-ons can't increase the frequency of occurence, just that it isn't a problem with other add-ons.

As for DCs, well usually that isn't caused by add-ons specifically, though if an add-on uses a lot or RAM or does some rather funky stuff in the background it might cause lag issues, but that typically causes crashes, not network disconnects.

The only error I got, not exactly an error, since GF implemented the currency tab, Xbar no longer shows the amount of phirius shells / mementos and coins anymore, everything else is working fine. Have looked into curse, but have not found any updates so far.
