Create custom submenu for custom home button? - gehang - 2015-11-28
I'm using the stock Confluence skin, and doing some customization.
I've created a custom button between Videos and TV Shows by editing the home.xml and adding a link to the VideoSets:
<item id="19">
<label>Sets</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieSets,return)</onclick>
<icon>-</icon>
<thumb>-</thumb>
</item>
Under that button I'd like to add a submenu, I've looked through the includeshomemenuitems.xml but I'm not sure how to add a new subarea.
Do I just add an include with the name of my label like so?
<include name="HomeSubMenuSets">
<control type="image" id="342323">
<width>35</width>
<height>35</height>
<texture border="0,0,0,3" flipx="true">HomeSubEnd.png</texture>
</control>
<control type="button" id="51923">
<include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>
<label>Tags</label>
<onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTags,return)</onclick>
</control>
<control type="image" id="90168">
<width>35</width>
<height>35</height>
<texture border="0,0,0,3">HomeSubEnd.png</texture>
</control>
</include>
Thanks!
RE: Create custom submenu for custom home button? - gehang - 2015-11-28
Solved: I needed to also add another section to the home.xml linking the new submenu to the new home menu item:
In home.xml
<control type="grouplist" id="90109">
<include>HomeSubMenuCommonValues</include>
<onleft>90109</onleft>
<onright>90109</onright>
<!-- Buttons for the grouplist -->
<visible>Container(9000).HasFocus(999994)</visible>
<include>HomeSubMenuSets</include>
</control>
The <visible>Container(9000).HasFocus(19)</visible> is what links the submenu to my new button by the id (19 in this case)
