About Reflux

Reflux is a small lightweight profile manager. With the coming of dual specs, and people building UI compilations. I built this little manager. Its goal it to allow you to quickly switch all your addon profiles in one fair swoop. For addons that don't support profiles it emulates a profile. All emulations are done by the user and none come pre-configured out of the box. The user chooses if he/she wishes to emulate a profile for any addon. Emulation is not needed for any addon that uses Ace2/3DB as profiles are built in.

Example of usage

This example assumes your setting up a brand new profile.

/reflux create MyProfile

This will switch all current Acedb based addons to this profile and setup the emulation profile.

Now i configure a bunch of stuff and notice my unit frames don't have support for profiles... Well i can fix that! First i need to check the .toc for my unit frames in this case StufUnitFrames. I find the #SavedVariables: StufDB line in the toc indication that is where it saves its configuration information. So now in game I simply add that saved variable to reflux

/reflux add StuffDB

Now reflux will emulate a profile for Stuff. I finish up configuring my UI. I'm pretty happy with it. Now that I'm done I need to save the emulated profile

/reflux save

Now my emulated profile has been saved. Lets do a quick reload to ensure our data is saved to disk.

We are done! Now my UI is setup with my new profile. Lets go create another profile for my alt.

/reflux create MyAltProfile

My screen is now back to initial state all unconfigured. My alt is a different class so this isn't a big deal. (Future enhancement will be to copy a profile set so you can create a base config then tweak). Now i do more work...

What about stuff? Do i need to add it again? Nope its already been emulated so no need to add it again.

Now I save my new profile

/reflux save

Now I switch my main back to its original profile.

/reflux switch MyProfile

Bingo my UI is now all set back up.

I log into my alt and type

/reflux switch MyAltProfile

And now my alts UI is all setup.

If you want to clear out all your reflux data /reflux cleardb and bingo its all gone. You ace profiles are still there, but the emulated profiles will be cleared.

Other Commands

/reflux addons [profile] Switch addon set to what was saved in the profile. Due to technical reason you need to switch afterwards

/reflux save now optionally takes an 'addons' flag to store addon state so /reflux save addons will save current addon list in the emulated profile.

/reflux copy [target profile] will attempt to copy the target profile into your current profile. this will reload the UI when complete.

/reflux delete [profile] will delete a profile. Please note you can NOT delete the current active profile.

/reflux snapshot [profile] will scan your addons creating a new profile, based off of each addons current settings

Type /reflux to see a list of commands.

    If you're like me, and don't read instructions much - back up your WTF folder first.

    I really like this addon, but I have a quick question...

    Will disabling it after loading all the profiles cause any problems? I used to it to load my profiles a long time ago and haven't disabled it since then.

    Pity this does not appear to work for multiple accounts, I have 5 accounts and none of the accounts can see the settings from the other accounts. :-(

    actually, if you have a UI set up on one account, you can copy your WTF folder from that account and paste it to the other accounts, you just have to manually change the folder names to the right server/characters in the other accounts. Just like if you were downloading a pre-made UI from someone (you need the addons used to make the UI in the first place, of course.)

    It's what I had to do to get DeguasserUI to work, and I've used those steps to install the addons and their profiles on my boyfriend's new computer, so now my account and his account have the same UI setup, give or take. He tweaked his a bit. :P

    Hopefully that helps you?

    I am I right to think if I use snapshot, I also need to use save to persist the data? If this is the case why doesn't it save by default? or at least warn you to save?

    If not something is broken as I spent all night setting up my UI, used snapshot to create a new profile, switched to a different character, created a new profile, copied from the earlier snapshot, which did nothing, then when I went back to the original character it was all back to default settings.

    As asked before. I would like to copy an existing profile so i can modifie it for my alts (check things I need on my alt and not on my main). Now, I've been trying the instructions above but evrything stays unconfigured. I do this:

    Log on my main
    /reflux create altprofile
    /reflux copy mainprofile
    /reflux save
    Log to my alt
    /reflux switch altprofile

    Am I doing somehting wrong?
    Thanks in advance

    It's not working because when you /reflux create a profile, it only makes an empty profile. Therefore when you copy it, you're copying an already-empty profile...

    What you want is the /reflux snapshot (profile name) command, which will copy the profiles of your current UI. I'll warn you that it only kinda works for me (some addons seem to mess up), but since I have tons of them it still saves me time.

    Im not quite sure, but I think this addon is designed for already existing UIs using something like oUF, TukUI, etc as a base for ones own UI.

    There are too many addons out there that do NOT use Ace! The instructions are quirky at best. I think it would be helpful if the author actually made a video of him actually starting from beginning to end a designed UI. And not include just ACE addons.

    Most real raiders use Recount, Bartender4, Omen, SexyCooldown, ButtonFacade, DBM, Grid, etc. including me in my own UI. Yet no matter what I do, I cannot get this to do its intended job.

    How does it emulate anything when it doesnt even save it to its own DB? Is one to think that if your making lets say TestUI, you have to 1st /reflux create TestUI? Then for every detail of every addon you use, you have to /reflux save? Because I tried this, and it does not work. Ive work over 150 hours on my UI (thank god I back everything up) and all this addon does is screw it up entirely. If its suspose to "emulate" any addons (/reflux add SavedVar) then it should store it in RefluxDB UNDER TestUI.

    The thing is, you cannot create a TestUI and save anything under that because all written DBs are stored under your CURRENT logged in name! Again, a video would be very helpful. Not everyone is a freaking addon coding god ya know!

    On a scale of 1 to 10 for the idea of this addon, a solid 10, but on the way to use it with the instructions given, a 2, and thats being generous!

    Hey, I'm wondering how to use this addon to copy all my addon settings from my main to my alts. I'm asking because I don't want this addon to eat all my addon settings. Thanks in advance!

    Although it doesnt save all my ui layouts like this, it does save most. Thus it saves me a hell of a lot of time setting up my ui with new chars.

    Very handy!

    I find that this addon does not work for the key addons I use: QuestGuru, Bagnon, Xperl, and to some extent SexyMap for the position. It says in the description that this will emulate profiles for those addons that have none... apparently I'm missing something.

    Old comment I know... but SexyMap seems to have a broken profile system. I've had to copy them in the text files by hand before.

    ...and Titan Panel, which has it's own profile system... it's just different.
