Chat Window Problems

[tbuckley]

Hey Shestak, long time user of your UI. Ever since 2.2 I've had trouble keeping my additional chat bars where i want them. I like to use 2 chat bars as seen in this screenshot:


But every time I log onto my WoW account the GCHAT window position gets reset, and looks like this:


Do you think you could point me into the right configuration file to edit to fix this issue? Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the error message.
In the next version I will correct it, and the position of the chat will be remembered.

And while there is a rough, but a quick solution to this problem in the file idChat.lua(~152) find:

ChatFrame1:SetPoint(unpack(aSettings["position"].chat))

and below add:

ChatFrame5:ClearAllPoints()
ChatFrame5:SetPoint("BOTTOMLEFT", UIParent, "BOTTOMLEFT", 23, 23)

Done in my local version

In next version same CVar and chat settings will be set one time, and not every time.

Your solution didn't exactly position the chat frame where i wanted it to be. Instead of the GCHAT frame being overlapped and higher than the others, it places the frame on the side of the General window, still overlapping it.

tbuckley, yes this is not correct solution. Correct will be in 2.4 version.

I'm using v3.2.7 and still resets chat position every time I relog or reload UI. Is there a way around this, cos it gets kinda annoying. =(

Create 2 new tabs and unlock - http://i.minus.com/ibhFQGgRf309T9.jpg
Reload ui or restart game - http://i.minus.com/ibe5PmMZUQzMbi.jpg
All good.

Sorry for my ignorance, but where exactly do I set this up?
