I'm working on my first AddOn. Everything works so far, with one exception: I would like to display additional information for each listitem. Much like the episode count in the list of tvshows. But I can't get that to work.
I took all the functionality out of the plugin to have the simplest possible code to present here:
I've tried several thing such as setting a sortorder or the label2Mask, but nothing helped.
I have even modified the ViewsFileMode.xml of Confluence by adding some decorations around $INFO[ListItem.Label] and $INFO[ListItem.Label2] in order to make sure both are actually referenced in the skin. But whatever I tried, the value of ListItem.Label2 was empty in the skin.
What am I doing wrong?
