Newbie wants to edit confluence home page - ManicD - 2011-02-03
ok, I'm new to linux and new to xbmc but pretty competent most of the time. I'm a career IT Engineer for windows systems, XBMC is my way into learning about linux and how it works so be gentle.
Now, what i'm wanting is a way to add my youtube plugin (and eventually others) to my homepage in the default confluence skin.
only problem is at this moment i cant even find the confluence files let alone figure out how to edit them.
I'm sure everyone has a thousand more important things to be getting on and developing but if someone can give me a few pointers and links i'll be on my way,
current install is XBMC-Standalone on ubuntu 10.10 with gnome desktop.
I've found this http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO_edit_the_Main_Menu_%28Home_Screen%29_via_skinning and a few other bits and bobs about but need some pointers.

ok, found this http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=76529
the instructions are to copy and paste the zip contents into the skin.confluence folder
this folder is found in /usr/share/xbmc/addons
it is owned by root and thus a quick
sudo chmod 777 -R /usr/share/xbmc/
was needed in order to allow me to paste into the folder
after that, start xbmc and goto settings>skins>Custom Home
you will need to make sure you have favorited the items you want to link to, find teh item and right click select favorite.
