Editing WoW:SecureTemplates

{{uitech}}
'''SecureTemplates''' are a family of protected frame and button templates defined as part of FrameXML. Through attribute-based configuration, they allow addons to access some of the protected functionality. The templates are defined in FrameXML/SecureTemplates.xml, and functionality supporting them resides in FrameXML/SecureTemplates.lua

== An example ==
Suppose we wanted to create a button that, when clicked, would cast Thorns on the player. This can be solved by inheriting from SecureActionButtonTemplate and setting the relevant attributes. For example, using only XML:
 <Ui>
  <Button name="MyThornsButton" inherits="SecureActionButtonTemplate" parent="UIParent">
   <Attributes>
    <Attribute name="type" type="string" value="spell"/>
    <Attribute name="spell" type="string" value="Thorns"/>
    <Attribute name="unit" type="string" value="player"/>
   </Attributes>
   <Size x="64" y="64"/>
   <Layers><Layer level="OVERLAY">
     <Texture name="$parentIcon" file="Interface\Icons\Spell_Nature_Thorns" setAllPoints="true" />
   </Layer></Layers>
   <Anchors><Anchor point="CENTER" /></Anchors>
  </Button>
 </Ui>
