Show Change log on load? - syztemlord - 2015-09-26
Hi guys,
I'm just playing around with creating my own addon. I'd like to show the changelog text when the addon opens but I'm not sure how to do it.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

if you happen to run a nightly build, it's quite easy:
Code:
import os, xbmcgui, xbmcaddon, xbmcvfs
path = xbmcaddon.Addon().getAddonInfo('path').decode("utf-8")
logfile = xbmcvfs.File(os.path.join(path, 'changelog.txt'))
text = logfile.read()
logfile.close()
dialog = xbmcgui.Dialog()
dialog.textviewer(xbmc.getLocalizedString(24036), text)on Kodi Isengard (and earlier) you could use this:
Code:
import os, xbmcgui, xbmcaddon, xbmcvfs
class Gui(xbmcgui.WindowXMLDialog):
def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):
xbmcgui.WindowXMLDialog.__init__(self)
self.header = kwargs.get("header")
self.content = kwargs.get("content")
def onInit(self):
self.getControl(1).setLabel(self.header)
self.getControl(5).setText(self.content)
path = xbmcaddon.Addon().getAddonInfo('path').decode("utf-8")
logfile = xbmcvfs.File(os.path.join(path, 'changelog.txt'))
text = logfile.read()
logfile.close()
dialog = Gui("DialogTextViewer.xml", path, header=xbmc.getLocalizedString(24036), content=text)
dialog.doModal()
del dialog
