IDEA: Better Container.Content/Foldername

Hitcher · 2011-03-08 00:06

As discussed previously -

Container.AddonName to return the current Addon's name as defined in the addon.xml.

I would like to suggest considering different usage of label2, based on Button id="3" (sorting) in Movies.

- Sort by name - no label2 shown
- Sort by runtime - label2 shows shorter time (as with listitem.duration) or at least time without seconds
- Sort by times played - don't show zeroes

@pecinko: Good suggestions (though I don't see why sort by name should erase label2), please open a separate thread for this.

i've only just got around to test it...

Container.Content(Files) did indeed work on builds before the files_in_lib merge, but it's broken on anything after.

Where do you think "files" should apply?

ATM we set it to empty everywhere in the files node that does not have content set.

I'm not sure what advantage setting it to "files" has, unless you're using it elsewhere as well?

Cheers,

i'm trying to create different views for the root of the videolibrary and file nodes with no content set.

i don't think there's currently a way to do this, using Container.Content() as a visible condition.

Ah, so you want Container.Content(files) to apply to the "Files" listing, and everything below that that doesn't otherwise have content set?

not exactly i think. imo Container.Content(Files) should only apply to sources with no content set.
so it should not apply to root/overview listings.

**jmarshall** · 2011-03-16 23:46

Sure - root/overview isn't files lists. What I meant is if I have a particular share without any content set, if I go into that share and down 5 folders, it should still be Content(files), right?
