Editing WoW:Creating defaults (section)

==== The Main Code ====

Now we can write our post-load function... This will run after the addon has been fully loaded. We do it this way, because if we call things that haven't been loaded yet, then our addon will fail, and output an error message. This way, everything will have already been loaded.

 function ThisAddon_Loaded()
   if (not ThisAddon_Options) then
     ThisAddon_Options = ThisAddon_Defaults["Options"];
     DEFAULT_CHAT_FRAME:AddMessage("ThisAddon Options database not found. Generating...");
   end
 end

* Start the function we run 
** Check to see if our options ("ThisAddon_Options") are already set.
*** If not, then copy the default options to ThisAddon_Options.
*** Output a message saying we're generating the options database
** End the check

See? We're done. Fairly simple. And if we end up changing our defaults, then we don't have to type them in again.
