Re: [Freevo-users] Help writing plugin.

My first idea is that MenuItem needs to return a function that builds a new Item.
You might need to create a blank Item class (no functions) and then dynamically create those functions using the lamda operator.
That's the most extensible.  Or you could just have 3 Item subclasses, which would be less confusing to create.

eg.
ha_menu_items[1] = ControlItem()
ControlItem.createMenu = lamda(menuCreateFunction(device[1])

class ControItem():
        def __init__(self, parent):
              Item.__init__(self,parent)

I've made a good deal more progress, thanks alot to Rande.  Its all
working now except for I still have not figured out how to tuck things
into sub menus.

Heres my current local_conf.py layout:

**** begin config ****

HA_ITEMS = [ ("Living Room",(
               ("Corner Light",(
                       ("On","command to run when On is selected from
menu"),
                       ("Off","command"),
                       ("Dim","command")
                       )),
               ("Ceiling Fan",(
                       ("On","command"),
                       ("Off","command")
                       )),
               ("TV",(
                       ("On","command"),
                       ("Off","command")
                       ))
                       )),
            ("Bedroom",(
               ("Ceiling Lights",(
                       ("On","command"),
                       ("Off","command"),
                       ("Dim","command")
                       )),
               ("Table Lamp",(
                       ("On","command"),
                       ("Off","command"),
                       ("Dim","command")
                       ))
                       )) ]

**** end config ****
and here is my automatedhouse.py code so far:

**** begin code ****

import os
import sys
import menu
import config

from gui import ConfirmBox
from item import Item
from plugin import MainMenuPlugin

class HomeAutomationItem(Item):

       def __init__(self, parent):
               Item.__init__(self,parent)
               self.name = _( 'Home Automation' )
       def config(self):
               return [('HA_ITEMS',
                [ ("Living Room", "Corner Light","On,Off,Dim"),
                  ("Bedroom", "Ceiling Lights","On,Off,Dim") ],
               "Home automation items")]
       def actions(self):
               items = [(self.createMenu, _('Home Automation'))]
               return items

       def createMenu(self, arg=None, menuw=None):
               ha_menu_items=[]

               for room in config.HA_ITEMS:
                       ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(room[0])]
                       for device in room[1]:
                               ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(device[0])]
                               for control in device[1]:
                                       
ha_menu_items+=[menu.MenuItem(control[0],os.system(control[1]))]
               ha_menu=menu.Menu("Home Automation", ha_menu_items)
               menuw.pushmenu(ha_menu)
               menuw.refresh()

class PluginInterface(MainMenuPlugin):
   def items(self, parent):
       return [ HomeAutomationItem(parent) ]

**** end code ****
