Hi

It is possible to create a custom home menu button and load submenu options from a Library Node Editor's parent node? (the same of 6 first nodes of movies home button but with a custom home menu)

I have created a parent node called 'SFMovies' and some nodes inside it.

I have modified Home.xml to add a custom home menu button adding this code:

xml:


                    <item id="90">

                        <label>SFMovies</label>

                        <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,MovieTitles,return)</onclick>

                        <icon></icon>

                        <thumb></thumb>

                    </item>

and this code:

xml:


               <control type="grouplist" id="9930">

                    <include>HomeSubMenuCommonValues</include>

                    <onleft>9930</onleft>

                    <onright>9930</onright>

                    <visible>Container(9000).HasFocus(90)</visible>

                    <include>HomeSubMenuSFMovies</include> <!-- Buttons for the grouplist -->

                </control>

Then, i modified IncludesHomeMenuItems.xml copying the home sub menu movies and modifying to match the custom menu item like this:

xml:


<include name="HomeSubMenuSFMovies">

        <control type="image" id="99161">

            <width>35</width>

            <height>35</height>

            <texture border="0,0,0,3" flipx="true">HomeSubEnd.png</texture>

        </control>

        <control type="button" id="99162">

            <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>

            <label>$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(0).Label]</label>

            <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(0).FileNameAndPath],return)</onclick>

        </control>

        <control type="button" id="99163">

            <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>

            <label>$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(1).Label]</label>

            <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(1).FileNameAndPath],return)</onclick>

            <visible>!String.IsEmpty(Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(1).Label)</visible>

        </control>

        <control type="button" id="99164">

            <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>

            <label>$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(2).Label]</label>

            <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(2).FileNameAndPath],return)</onclick>

            <visible>!String.IsEmpty(Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(2).Label)</visible>

        </control>

        <control type="button" id="99165">

            <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>

            <label>$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(3).Label]</label>

            <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(3).FileNameAndPath],return)</onclick>

            <visible>!String.IsEmpty(Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(3).Label)</visible>

        </control>

        <control type="button" id="99166">

            <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>

            <label>$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(4).Label]</label>

            <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(4).FileNameAndPath],return)</onclick>

            <visible>!String.IsEmpty(Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(4).Label)</visible>

        </control>

        <control type="button" id="99167">

            <include>ButtonHomeSubCommonValues</include>

            <label>$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(5).Label]</label>

            <onclick>ActivateWindow(Videos,$INFO[Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(5).FileNameAndPath],return)</onclick>

            <visible>!String.IsEmpty(Container(90160).ListItemNoWrap(5).Label)</visible>

        </control>

        <control type="image" id="99168">

            <width>35</width>

            <height>35</height>

            <texture border="0,0,0,3">HomeSubEnd.png</texture>

        </control>

    </include>

Now i have a new custom menu item called 'SFMovies' and it has the same submenus of movies home button, but i don't know how can I link this custom item to show like submenus the nodes of a parent node from Library Node Editor.

Regards.

You cannot reproduce much less "link" a menu/submenu item to a node. The syntax is totally different.

For example,

xml:
<action>ActivateWindow(Programs)</action>

which in a skin opens the Programs window, does nothing in a node. To open the Programs windows in a node you code:

xml:
<path>addons://sources/executable/</path>

AFAIK it is not possible for nodes to have

xml:
<path></path>

defined later per user input either. In a skin it is called user customization, and fairly common.
