Writing a new-menu popup. - cyber7 - 2010-01-12 Good day everybody. I am realy very new to xbmc and need some help. What I would like to do is: 1. pop a window up. (I have a small idea how to add a new button...) 2. fill in some info and then write the answers out to a file. Can anybody give me some help? Thank you kindly cyber7 (aka AubreyX) - ronie - 2010-01-12 if the goal is to write some data to a file, you will have to create a script. this can't be done by simple skinning. - cyber7 - 2010-01-12 Thanx Ronie. I have written (a UNIX) script that does everything I want to do, but I need to get the information from USER INPUT. Thus: what I would like to do is in a SCREEN: +-----------------------+ | ITEM 1: <USER INPUT> | | ITEM 2: <USER INPUT> | | ITEM 3: <USER INPUT> | | ITEM 4: <USER INPUT> | | ITEM 5: <USER INPUT> | | ITEM 6: <USER INPUT> | +-----------------------+ then write to a file the strings that the <USER INPUT> generate. I will then, from my script I will manipulate the file... I hope you can help Kind regards cyber7 (aka AubreyX) - ronie - 2010-01-12 afaik parsing data to a file can only be done with a python script in xbmc. you might want to check here: http://forum.xbmc.org/forumdisplay.php?fid=26 - cyber7 - 2010-01-12 Hi Ronie, Thankx for the reply, I have the entire .PY scripts ready, could you give me a pointer to how to incorporate it into a screen? Cheers and thanx again! - ronie - 2010-01-12 sure, just add a button to launch the script: Code: <control type="button" id="501"> - cyber7 - 2010-01-12 Ronie YOU ARE DA BOMB!!! kudos to you!!! Thanx mate cyber7 (aka AubreyX) from Cape Town, South Africa |
