Hi guys,

I am back again with a question.
I found out about the LatestMovie.[1-10].Title Infolabel that, per my understanding retrieves the titles of the latest 10 movies.

I want to display a list of 5 recently added movies.
What confounds me is how to loop over the "array" (what does [1-10] really mean? is it an array or an object?)

Trying to grasp the concept of how you iterate...

Thanks in advance!

PHP Code:

LatestMovie.1.Title
LatestMovie.2.Title
LatestMovie.3.Title
LatestMovie.4.Title
LatestMovie.5.Title

lol. O.K. so it's easier than I thought.

Your starter skin is fantastic Hitcher!

So I have created a list control to list out the recently watched movies like so:

PHP Code:

<!-- Recently added. -->
    <control type="fixedlist" id="937">
        <description>recently watched movies</description>
        <posx>297</posx>
        <posy>200</posy>
        <width>600</width>
        <height>500</height>
        <visible>true</visible>

        <itemlayout width="600" height="500">
            <control type="image">
                <width>200</width>
                <height>550</height>
                <posx>20</posx>
                <posy>40</posy>
                <info>Window.Property(LatestMovie.1.Thumb)</info>
            </control>
            <control type="label">
                <posx>20</posx>
                <poxy>45</poxy>
                <info>Window.Property(LatestMovie.1.Title)</info>
                <font>Small</font>
                <textcolor>white</textcolor>
            </control>
        </itemlayout>

        <focusedlayout width="600" height="500">
            <control type="image">
                <width>200</width>
                <height>550</height>
                <posx>20</posx>
                <posy>40</posy>
                <info>Window.Property(LatestMovie.1.Thumb)</info>
            </control>
            <control type="label">
                <posx>20</posx>
                <poxy>45</poxy>
                <info>Window.Property(LatestMovie.1.Title)</info>
                <font>Small</font>
                <textcolor>white</textcolor>
            </control>
        </focusedlayout>


        <content>
            <item id="9371">
                <texture>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.5.Thumb)]</texture>
                <label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.5.Title)]</label>
            </item>
            <item id="9372">
                <texture>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.4.Thumb)]</texture>
                <label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.4.Title)]</label>
            </item>
            <item id="9373">
                <texture>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.3.Thumb)]</texture>
                <label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.3.Title)]</label>
            </item>
            <item id="9374">
                <texture>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.2.Thumb)]</texture>
                <label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.2.Title)]</label>
            </item>
        </content>

    </control> 


Nothing shows up.
If I take the <items> out of the list into their own label and image controls they work fine.
But I want a list so I can define a layout and avoid repeating the formatting directives.

Following this, try this:

PHP Code:

<!-- Recently added. -->
    <control type="fixedlist" id="937">
        <description>recently watched movies</description>
        <posx>297</posx>
        <posy>200</posy>
        <width>600</width>
        <height>500</height>
        <visible>true</visible>

        <itemlayout width="600" height="500">
            <control type="image">
                <width>200</width>
                <height>550</height>
                <posx>20</posx>
                <posy>40</posy>

                <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Thumb]</texture>
            </control>
            <control type="label">
                <posx>20</posx>
                <poxy>45</poxy>
                <font>Small</font>
                <textcolor>white</textcolor>

                <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
            </control>
        </itemlayout>

        <focusedlayout width="600" height="500">
            <control type="image">
                <width>200</width>
                <height>550</height>
                <posx>20</posx>
                <posy>40</posy>

                <texture>$INFO[ListItem.Thumb]</texture>
            </control>
            <control type="label">
                <posx>20</posx>
                <poxy>45</poxy>
                <font>Small</font>
                <textcolor>white</textcolor>

                <label>$INFO[ListItem.Label]</label>
            </control>
        </focusedlayout>


        <content>
            <item id="9371">
                <thumb>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.5.Thumb)]</thumb>
                <label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.5.Title)]</label>
            </item>
            <item id="9372">
                <thumb>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.4.Thumb)]</thumb>
                <label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.4.Title)]</label>
            </item>
            <item id="9373">
                <thumb>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.3.Thumb)]</thumb>
                <label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.3.Title)]</label>
            </item>
            <item id="9374">
                <thumb>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.2.Thumb)]</thumb>
                <label>$INFO[Window.Property(LatestMovie.2.Title)]</label>
            </item>
        </content>

    </control> 


[ronie]

every item needs to have at least <onclick></onclick> defined.

[frishi]

Thanks for the reply!

I tried your approach, but no dice...
I also tried removing all the <thumbs> <icons> and <info> tags from the <itemlayout>; effectively this:

PHP Code:

<!-- Recently added. -->
    <control type="fixedlist" id="937">
        <description>recently watched movies</description>
        <posx>297</posx>
        <posy>200</posy>
        <width>600</width>
        <height>500</height>
        <visible>true</visible>

        <itemlayout width="600" height="500">

            <control type="label">
                <posx>20</posx>
                <poxy>45</poxy>
                <font>Small</font>
                <textcolor>white</textcolor>
                <info>ListItem.Label</info>
            </control>
        </itemlayout>

        <focusedlayout width="600" height="500">

            <control type="label">
                <posx>20</posx>
                <poxy>45</poxy>
                <font>Small</font>
                <textcolor>white</textcolor>
                <info>ListItem.Label</info>
            </control>
        </focusedlayout>


        <content>
            <item id="9371">
                <label>asdasd</label>
            </item>

        </content>

    </control> 


Nothing shows up.
I am dumbfounded.

---

every item needs to have at least <onclick></onclick> defined.

Yes, this was it!
I made the same mistake for the second time.

Can you please tell me, why <onclick> is a necessity for it to be even displayed?
Other tags show up just fine...
