When I try to invite someone to a community, the addon gives an LUA error and I have to deactivate it. Can you fix that?

Everything seems functional with the 8.0.1 patch, you can still create and delete groups, add and remove people from groups, however there is a warning of too many LUA errors may degrade game performance when you use the right click popup menu --the error its spits out is:

872x FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:1358: Usage: CheckInteractDistance("unit", distIndex)
[C]: in function `CheckInteractDistance'
FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:1358: in function <FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:1353>
FrameXML\UnitPopup.lua:1401: in function `UnitPopup_OnUpdate'
[string "*:OnUpdate"]:3: in function <[string "*:OnUpdate"]:1>

Locals:
(*temporary) = nil
(*temporary) = 0

Hello , finaly I found an addon that suits my needs , I do boosting so therefore I have a lot of people in my list and beeing able to group them is perfect . It is almost perfect , there is only a few thing I strongly suggest if you can add :

1. The option to remove the level of the characters.

Most of my friends are 110 so seeing their lvl is kinda irelevant since I know most of their char and if they create new one I can mouse-over and see their lvl , however maybe for someone who has more friends that like to make more alts , beeing able to see the char. lvl without mouseover would be very nice , I experienced this problem at the start of the expansions. So therefore I strongly suggest you to add this option being able to see the lvl or not , same like you are able to color the frnd name with their class color . Maybe add an /comand in chat would help , so you dont have to add to many commands in the right-click window if you know what I mean.

2. The groups are listen the alphabetical order and you cant change that .

I think you should be able to drag the group in whatever order you want to put them. That would be perfect.

3.The #thingy in the note.

Now i dont know how the addon works but I guess the #note thingy at the end its necesary to keep them in the group , but if you could remove it somehow it would make the addon perfect.

My comment is only indeed to be constructive and hopefully help you improve the addon. Cheers !

Heya there,

Thanks a lot for your feedback which is much appreciated.

Regarding your propositions :

1. Removing the level part of the friend description. Yeah ok why not it will not be very hard.

2. It will be a bit complicated to do that. Moving groups around is a very hard thing to do, regarding how the addon is coded.

3. The #thingy is how you make groups withing the friend list so far. In order to remove it the whole addon should be reworked. (If you have another addon doing groups I might get inspired by its code)

Your comments are duly noted. I have yet not much time to spend on this at the moment. Improvements will come when the addon will be broken I think.

No problem always I like to show my apreciation for the good work.

Despite the fact I am not an programer guy I kinda thought that to remove the #thingy and drag would be a bit more complicated to do that the lvl thingy.

The order group thingy is not that kinda important cuz at least I found a way to arange the groups in the order I want , I will just place a number or letter before the groups name and by doing this I will be able to sort them in which order I want .

Sadly I dont have any other addon to offer you insipration from cuz actualy yours its the only one I found regarding friends list.

Another one that pops up is when opening the PvP panel while the friends list is open also returns this:

These two errors tend to crop up a lot when trying to use the Battleground queue on the PvP panel, some times to the point where the UI gets tainted(?) and is unable to start a random pvp battleground with out relaoding or having the blizzard UI throw a popup menu asking to disable the addon or ignore the error.

The Main UI mod is Bartender 4 (I've had ui errors in the past with this mod that are resolved with a quick /reload).

I use a chat mod WIM (wow instant message).

I also run InspectFix (having had past problems with the ui showing blank equipment slots when using the inspect function).

Other Addons I use are:

Auctionator

BugGrabber/BugSack

Class Colors

DejaCharacterStats

Fix Black World Map

Handy Notes

Healbot

DBM

Mappy

RSA

WeakAuras2

World Map Zoom

World Quest Tracker

World Quest Group Finder

I love this addon!

However, I am having troubles deleting a group or removing a friend from a group. Hoping it's something to be looked into!

Keep up the good work!
