The context menu/header/footers menus have an "Object type" parameter, the value of this parameter indicates where the context item is shown. In the list in the "Edit context menus/headers/footers" menu the object type will also be shown as the first item before the name of a specific item. So for example the "albumheader/Genre" item has the object type "albumheader". The wiki page for Custom Browse shows the allowed values for the "Object type" parameter, see here for more information: http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php?title=Custom_Browse_plugin&action=view§ion=7#Available_context_menu.2Fheader.2Ffooter_types In the XML configuration the object type parameter will be put in the menugroup element, for example "<menugroup>albumheader</menugroup>" If we get into real details, I can also mention that the element in the main menu that controls which object types that should be shown on a particular menu level is the "itemtype" element in the XML. This last part is of course only relevant if you are making your own menus by editing the XML manually. The value of "itemtype" will be postfixed with "header", "footer" when retrieving the context items. Currently the supported object types is limited to those mentioned on the wiki page. But I have a plan to also support custom object types. As a sample this will make it possible to have one header on a year in the "Years" menu and a completely other header on a year in the "Decades/Year" menu and it will of course also make it possible to put headers on all the menus based on Custom Scan data. For example a specific header for a classical work, composer or ensamble. But in the current release this last part isn't possible, so at the moment you can't have different header for an artist in different menus. -- erland Erland Isaksson 'My homepage' (http://erland.homeip.net) 'My download page' (http://erland.homeip.net/download) (Developer of 'TrackStat, SQLPlayList, DynamicPlayList, Custom Browse, Custom Scan, Custom Skip, Multi Library and RandomPlayList plugins' (http://wiki.erland.homeip.net/index.php/Category:SlimServer)) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ erland's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3124 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=37442 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/plugins
