hi

i want to do a little edit to project mayhem iii's file manager. what i would like to do is add a fadelabel for the ip address and the hard drive's freespaces like so:

<control>
<description>system stats</description>
<id>0</id>
<type>fadelabel</type>
<width>535</width>
<posx>95</posx>
<posy>513</posy>
<label>$info(network.ipaddress) | system.freespace&copy; | system.freespace(e) | system.freespace(f) | system.freespace(g)</label>
<font>font10</font>
</control>

the problem is, the ip address shows correctly but the freespaces don't. i tried adding $info( ) to them but nothing will show.

could someone please correct anything that may be wrong with the tag above?

thanks

dont use label controls

use

<info>info1</info>
<info>info2</info>
<info>info3</info>

in a fadelabel and youll be good

this is from musicoverlay.xml.

<control>
<description>album/artist/genre etc info label</description>
<type>fadelabel</type>
<width>130</width>
<posx>65</posx>
<posy>525</posy>
<font>font10</font>
<id>0</id>
<label>$info(musicplayer.artist) - $info(musicplayer.title) - $info(musicplayer.album)</label>
</control>

that's what i tried at first but when using that method, the ip displays correctly but the freespace just shows what i put in there on my tv screen like so

ip:192.168.0.102 | system.freespace&copy; | system.freespace(e) | system.freespace(f) | system.freespace(g)

ok, i think the ( and ) is causing you trouble, parselabel looks for the first occurrance of ) after $info( so it wouldn't have the right infotag.

i wonder if a better character to use would be [ and ] or { and }. maybe this could be a feature request.

you would need to enter it as $info(system.freespace(e))

so if they would change it to $info[system.freespace(e)] it would work.

have changed it so it uses

$info[blahblahblah]

sorry - no backwards compatibility.

sweet!

thanks guys for the help

jmarshall, is this addition already in the cvs earlier than today or was it just added meaning we have to wait for the cvs to update?
