Skin Variables / Conditional Labels

**pieh** · 2011-08-27 12:37

initially <height> <width> <posx> <posy> and other numeric "properties" of controls are out of luck (we don't have numeric control properties hooked to infomanager yet). But this is defenitely something I will pursue in next steps

Good to hear it's planned, cheers Smile

This has been pushed in the latest nightly (30/09) and works perfectly - I'm already using it.

Thanks.

sweet

Thanks Pieh and everyone involved!

Awesome.

This is a very big improvement and will save a lot of code in certain situations.

I tried the following:

<texture fallback="$VAR[variablename]" background="true">$INFO[ListItem.Thumb]</texture>

Which doesn't appear to be working. I know this is only the first steps, but I would like to know if this will be possible later down the road? Because I could do some serious code cleaning with it Smile

As far as I know fallback doesn't allow $INFO so $VAR also won't work I guess.

This might work:

Code:

<variable name="Thumb">

  <value condition="!IsEmpty(ListItem.Thumb)">$INFO[ListItem.Thumb]</value>

  <value condition="IsEmpty(ListItem.Thumb) + SomeCondition1">Fallback1</value>

  <value condition="IsEmpty(ListItem.Thumb) + SomeCondition2">Fallback2</value>

  [...]

</variable>

<texture background="true">$VAR[Thumb]</texture>

Good thinking, works great Smile

I have some small problems with the value conditions... I now have this for the background fanart in my TVGuide:

Code:

<variable name="TVGuideInfoFanart">

    <value condition="Control.HasFocus(200) | stringcompare(Window(home).Property(TVGuide.MondayList),1)">$INFO[Container(200).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</value>

    <value condition="Control.HasFocus(201)">$INFO[Container(201).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</value>

    <value condition="Control.HasFocus(202)">$INFO[Container(202).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</value>

    <value condition="Control.HasFocus(203)">$INFO[Container(203).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</value>

    <value condition="Control.HasFocus(204)">$INFO[Container(204).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</value>

    <value condition="Control.HasFocus(205)">$INFO[Container(205).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</value>

    <value condition="Control.HasFocus(206)">$INFO[Container(206).ListItem.Property(Fanart)]</value>

</variable>

So only one control with $VAR[TVGuideInfoFanart] as texture. If I now open my guide menu (playercontrols), fanart is not visible anymore. It was working with the previous solution of 7 different controls with visible conditions.

This is working for me in script-NextAired-TVGuide.xml with same variable used:

Code:

<control type="group">

        <visible>!IsEmpty(Window(home).property(TVGuide.BackgroundFanart))</visible>

        <control type="image">

          <posx>0</posx>

          <posy>0</posy>

          <width>1280</width>

          <height>720</height>

          <aspectratio>scale</aspectratio>

          <texture background="true">$VAR[TVGuideInfoFanart]</texture>

          <include>backgroundfade</include>

          <fadetime>500</fadetime>

        </control>

 </control>
