Need add-on/script for panel layering

Guides UI and Macro
1

Hi I am attempting once again to solve my prof panel problem. I will attempt to explain it better this time.

When I alt-click on decor to get a pop up, the prof panel behind it closes. Then I have to navigate back to it either by pressing an action bar prof button or doing a key bind from the interface panel.

The keybind is a workaround toggle to bring the prof panel back up, so is ok. But last night for a brief moment, the decor pop up actually appeared over my prof panel, meaning when I was done looking at the pop up, could close out and prof panel still is open

Then it disappeared and went back to the old crappy way of popping up and closing my prof panel again. :fearful: I REALLY wish I had taken a screen shot.

I have given up trying to fix this in-game and need an addon that allows layering, so the decor pop up opens over the prof panel and doesn’t close it out. Any advice appreciated.

The game re-arranges panels depending on stuff…

Probably far from perfect but maybe easier, you could possibly add a professions button the the housing menu (not fancy, just an idea):

Copy/Paste to the website addon.bool.no to create/download as an addon:

local point, relative, topoint, x, y

local function OnHide(self)
	ProfessionsFrame:SetParent(UIParent)
	if point then
		self:ClearAllPoints()
		self:SetPoint(point, relative, topoint, x, y)
	end
end

local function OnShow(self)
	if HouseEditorFrame and HouseEditorFrame:IsShown() then
		self:SetParent(HouseEditorFrame)
		self:ClearAllPoints()
		self:SetPoint("CENTER")
		self:Show()
	end
end

local function OnLeave(self)
	local parent = self
	if self:GetObjectType() == "Button" then
		parent = self:GetParent()
	end
	if not parent:IsMouseOver() then
		parent:Hide()
	end
end

EventUtil.ContinueOnAddOnLoaded("Blizzard_Professions", function()
	ProfessionsFrame:HookScript("OnHide", OnShow)
	ProfessionsFrame:HookScript("OnHide", OnHide)
end)

EventUtil.ContinueOnAddOnLoaded("Blizzard_HousingControls", function()
	local f = CreateFrame("Button", nil, HousingControlsFrame, "UIPanelButtonTemplate")
	HousingControlsFrame:HookScript("OnHide", function(self)
		if ProfessionsFrame and ProfessionsFrame:IsShown() then
			ProfessionsFrame:Hide()
		end
	end)
	f:SetSize(70, 25)
	f:SetPoint("LEFT", HousingControlsFrame.OwnerControlFrame.ExitButton, "RIGHT", 5, 0)
	f:SetText("Prof.")
	f:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)
		if ProfessionsFrame and ProfessionsFrame:IsShown() then
			ProfessionsFrame:Hide()
		else
			
			if not self.ProfList then
				self.ProfParent = CreateFrame("Frame", self)
				self.ProfParent:SetSize(self:GetSize())
				self.ProfParent:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self)
				self.ProfParent:SetScript("OnLeave", OnLeave)
				self.ProfParent:Hide()
				local profList = { GetProfessions() }
				self.ProfList = {}
				for k, v in pairs(profList) do
					local name, icon, skillLevel, maxSkillLevel, numAbilities, spelloffset, skillLine, skillModifier, specializationIndex, specializationOffset = GetProfessionInfo(v)
					tinsert(self.ProfList, { name=name, skillline=skillLine, })
				end
				table.sort(self.ProfList, function(a, b)
					return a.name < b.name
				end)
				local count, last = 0
				for i, v in ipairs(self.ProfList) do
					count = count + 1
					v.frame = CreateFrame("Button", nil, self.ProfParent)
					local f = v.frame
					f:SetSize(self:GetWidth(), 15)
					f.BG = f:CreateTexture()
					f.BG:SetAllPoints()
					f.BG:SetColorTexture(0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.3)
					f.Name = f:CreateFontString()
					f.Name:SetFontObject(GameFontNormalSmall)
					f.Name:SetPoint("LEFT", 5, 0)
					f.Name:SetText(v.name)
					f.skillline = v.skillline
					if i == 1 then
						f:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", self.ProfParent, "TOPLEFT", 0, -self:GetHeight())
					else
						f:SetPoint("TOPLEFT", last, "BOTTOMLEFT")
					end
					f:SetScript("OnLeave", OnLeave)
					f:SetScript("OnClick", function(self)
						OpenProfessionUIToSkillLine(self.skillline) -- Enchanting
						if not point then
							point, relative, topoint, x, y = ProfessionsFrame:GetPoint(1)
						end
						OnShow(ProfessionsFrame)
						self:GetParent():Hide()
					end)
					last = f
				end
				self.ProfParent:SetHeight(self:GetHeight() + (15 * count))
			end
			self.ProfParent:Show()
		end
	end)
end)

Thank you I tried with some scripting and other than a very short one I used for cooking and fishing, I think it’s too advanced for me.

Probably just an add on at this point to work with layering panels and will call it a day
