How to create blog plugin?
#1
Hi!

I have created some quite simple video plugins with a lot of help from the Voinage plugin tutorial. There are two very useful functions for video plugins: add directory and add link. But is there a corresponding function that just adds a scrollable textbox? My idea is to make a plugin that shows news articles, blogs or other text.

Maybe there is some other solution to this than plugins, but I´ve just learned to use plugins and kind of like it! And it seems to me that it should be possible...

Nothing wrong with doing this in plugin format, but it'll be a bit harder than your regular video plugin.

If you want to do it inside of a plugin, the best way I can think is to define your own Dialog Box http://xbmc.sourceforge.net/python-docs/...wXMLDialog but maybe someone else has a better ideaHuh?
Always read the XBMC online-manual, FAQ and search and search the forum before posting.
For troubleshooting and bug reporting please read how to submit a proper bug report.

If you're interested in writing addons for xbmc, read docs and how-to for plugins and scripts ||| http://code.google.com/p/xbmc-addons/

If you want to have a specific GUI, you also have the solutiuon of doing a script instead of a plugin.

Ok, thanks for your replies! I will look into that Dialog Box thing, it feels a little harder to write a script... If someone else has already done something like this, feel free to post your experiences! I really appreciate all help and ideas!
