Container controls (the List Container, Fixed List Container, Wrap List Container, and Panel Container) can be setup by the skinner with dynamic content from a path or plugin. This is done by including the <content> tag in the control. It saves many lines of code as it's not necessary anymore to use static items for i.e. recently added movies.
Examples
Content filled from a plugin
<content>plugin://plugin.test.me?arg1=foo</content>
Content filled from a path
<content target="music" sortby="artist" sortorder="ascending" limit="10">musicdb://recentlyaddedalbums/</content>
Available attributes
The available XML attributes for the content tag are as follows. Note that, as always, they're lower-case only, as XML is case-sensitive.
Attributes | Description |
---|---|
target | Specifies the context window of the content. This is only necessary for folder items as it defines which window should be activated. For example musicdb://albums/ should have target="music" but musicdb://songs/ does not need a target because it contains only songs which will be played via PlayMedia(...) rather than opened via ActivateWindow(target,path,return) |
limit | Limits the number of items in the container. |
sortby | Sorts the list by the given value. |
sortorder | Sort direction of the list: ascending or decending. |
Available item properties (can be filled in plugins)
Property | Description |
---|---|
node.target | Specifies the context window of the content. This overwrites the target attribute of the content tag. |
node.target_url | Overwrites the path of an item if it's clicked on. This can be used to show the content of the item's path in another container while entering a different path if the item is clicked on. An example would be Confluence's home screen where Movies shows the items of it's path as a submenu below while clicking the item always takes the user to movie titles. |
