Video Submenu
#1
I love this skin only issue is i would prefer to have 7 submenu items rather than 5 as it looks like they will still fit nicely on screen.

it looks like i need to change the "includesHomeMenu" xml but whn i do it does not show 2 new buttons


any help would be much appreciated

to be honest 7 should be standard

Dude, I asked you about three times in the XBMChub forum, what exactly do you want, then we can help. First you were asking about shortcuts on the home menu, then we got to the submenu. I presume that since you've started another post in a different forum that you want the ability to have an extra 2 submenu items that you can change at will in the skin settings?

Ok, Show us what you've done with the "includesHomeMenu.xml" and I'll talk you through the skin settings bit and getting it to work.

all i done was add 2 more of these under "HomeSubMenuVideos" changed the id number

Code:
<control type="button" id="90102">
            <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>
            <label>342</label>
            <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>
            <visible>Library.HasContent(Movies) + !Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMoviesButton)</visible>
        </control>

        </control>


That works for me.

I numbered them 90109 & 90110 and then stuck it just above the end of bar image like this

PHP Code:
        <control type="button" id="90109">
            <include>
ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>
            <
label>342</label>
            <
onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>
            <
visible>Library.HasContent(Movies) + !Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMoviesButton)</visible>
        </
control>
        <
control type="button" id="90110">
            <include>
ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>
            <
label>342</label>
            <
onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>
            <
visible>Library.HasContent(Movies) + !Skin.HasSetting(HomeMenuNoMoviesButton)</visible>
        </
control>
        <
control type="image" id="90108">
            <
width>35</width>
            <
height>35</height>
            <
texture border="0,0,0,3">HomeSubEnd.png</texture>
        </
control

Just check that [A] your system has movies in the db and [b] you do not have the hide movie button set in your settings.

You could just delete the <visible> *** </visible> line to get it running as we'll need a different one anyway

Shout once this is running or not

If this is about icefilms, you should move on to xbmchub.info as icefilms won't be discussed anymore due to piracy policy: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=119117

ok so i found the customskinsettings.xml that gives you the options in skin settings to make 7

PHP Code:
<control type="button" id="415">
                            <
width>750</width>
                            <
height>40</height>
                            <

                            <
label>$LOCALIZE[24000] [b]5[/b]</label>
                            <

                            <
textcolor>grey2</textcolor>
                            <
focusedcolor>white</focusedcolor>
                            <
texturefocus>MenuItemFO.png</texturefocus>
                            <
texturenofocus>MenuItemNF.png</texturenofocus>
                            <
onclick>Skin.SetAddon(HomeVideosButton5,xbmc.addon.video)</onclick>
                        </
control>
                        <
control type="button" id="416">

ok, let's say it's skin mod...
Then customskinsettings.xml is one of two places you have to edit...
In customskinsettings.xml you can define these addons, but you need to enter them also in home.xml...
Quite at the end is a grouplist for the addons...
Line 770 is the start of it's content...
There you need to enter the missing 2 items...
If this is done, you might rearrange the position of the list to fit the screen...
Therefore you need to change <posx> and <posy> of the group control...

Home.xml look for <control type="fixedlist" id="9002">

Then under content for this list you need to add your new items

PHP Code:
<item>
    <
label>$INFO[system.addontitle(Skin.String(HomeVideosButton1))]</label>
    <
onclick>RunAddon($INFO[Skin.String(HomeVideosButton1)])</onclick>
    <
icon>$INFO[system.addonicon(Skin.String(HomeVideosButton1))]</icon>
    <
thumb>-</thumb>
    <
visible>[Container(9000).HasFocus(2) | Container(9000).HasFocus(10) | Container(9000).HasFocus(11)] + !IsEmpty(Skin.String(HomeVideosButton1))</visible>
</
item

Make sure you change the "HomeVideosButton1" to the correct value of your new items EG: 6 and 7
