This page | This page will outline the logic behind [[XMB]] .xml configuration files. | ||

This is a reduced version of [[XMB-Network | category_network.xml]] with only one icon (tex_browser) that launches the webbrowser (type:x-xmb/xmlwebbrowser). The .xml is loaded starting from <View id="root">, then inside the <Items> table there is a <Query> linking to #seg_browser (the character "#" links to a <View id> in the same file, so is linked to <View id="seg_browser">). When <View id="seg_browser"> is loaded first starts reading the table of <Items> that contains an <Item> that is linked using attr="browser" to a table of attributes <Table key="browser" | This is a reduced version of [[XMB-Network | category_network.xml]] with only one icon (tex_browser) that launches the webbrowser (type:x-xmb/xmlwebbrowser).

=== An XMB item tree === | |||
For this we will make a XMB item which will act as a folder opening up into 3 other XMB items. | |||
1/ First create the root XMB item which acts as a folder | |||
{{Boxcode|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> | |||
<View id="XMB_Folder_1"> | |||
<Attributes> | |||
<Table key="xmb_folder"> | |||
<Pair key="icon_rsc"><String>tex_album_icon</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="title"><String>XMB Menu Item</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="info"><String>This will subdivide into 3 items :)</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="child"><String>segment</String></Pair> | |||
</Table> | |||
</Attributes> | |||
<Items> | |||
<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="xmb_folder" attr="xmb_folder" src="#XMB_Folder_1_container" /> | |||
</Items> | |||
</View> | |||
</syntaxhighlight>}} | |||
Important Notes: | |||
* I've used "''<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap"''" for <Items> sub-entry type as it is good for displaying menus. | |||
* The 'attr' in the <Items> sub-entry (xmb_folder) is the same as the table key in Attibutes, so those attributes are assigned to the xmb_folder <Items> sub-entry. | |||
* the 'src' is pointing to 'XMB_Folder_1_container' - the another XMB .xml entry in the current .xml | |||
* the icon is from a .rco file and is a basic folder icon, like what the 'Game Data' XMB item uses | |||
* 'title' and 'info' are in plain text | |||
* 'child' is set as 'segment' so the XMB knows this item will subdivide into other XMB items | |||
''' | In order to create a working XMB sub menu the root xmb item (in this "XMB_Folder_1") must have its 'src' linking to a "container" (its the best way to think about it) and not directly linking to XMB items in the sub menu.( If you do not do this when you select your root XMB item to display a sub menu, the 'output' or 'action' of the XMB items of the sub menu will be shown rather than the actual XMB items): | ||
{{Boxcode|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> | |||
<View id="XMB_Folder_1_container"> | |||
<Items> | |||
<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="xmb_folder_container" src="#XMB_Folder_1_contents" /> | |||
</Items> | |||
</View> | |||
</syntaxhighlight>}} | |||
Important Notes: | |||
* This has no attributes as it simply acts as a contents container/linker | |||
Now to create the XMB .xml entry which holds the sub menu items: | |||
{{Boxcode|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> | |||
<View id="XMB_Folder_1_contents"> | |||
<Attributes> | |||
<Table key="xmb_subitem_1"> | |||
<Pair key="icon_rsc"><String>tex_album_icon</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="title"><String>XMB Sub Menu Item</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="info"><String>Dummy Sub item 1</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="str_noitem"><String>msg_error_no_gamedata</String></Pair> | |||
</Table> | |||
<Table key="xmb_subitem_2"> | |||
<Pair key="icon_rsc"><String>tex_album_icon</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="title"><String>XMB Sub Menu Item</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="info"><String>Dummy Sub item 2</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="str_noitem"><String>msg_error_no_gamedata</String></Pair> | |||
</Table> | |||
<Table key="xmb_subitem_3"> | |||
<Pair key="icon_rsc"><String>tex_album_icon</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="title"><String>XMB Sub Menu Item</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="info"><String>Dummy Sub item 3</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="str_noitem"><String>msg_error_no_gamedata</String></Pair> | |||
</Table> | |||
</Attributes> | |||
<Items> | |||
<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="xmb_subitem_1" attr="xmb_subitem_1" /> | |||
<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="xmb_subitem_2" attr="xmb_subitem_2" /> | |||
<Query class="type:x-xmb/folder-pixmap" key="xmb_subitem_3" attr="xmb_subitem_3" /> | |||
</Items> | |||
</View> | |||
</syntaxhighlight>}} | |||
'' | Important Notes: | ||
* These are dummy items, they do not 'go anywhere' or perform any function. They will just print the str_noitem message when clicked because they have no function | |||
* notice how the <attr> from the <Items> sub entries matches the <Table keys> from the <Attributes> sub entries | |||
* The <Attributes> and the <Items> sub entries do not have to be in the same order to work | |||
== | === A Web-Site link === | ||
This type of entry could be placed on the root of the XMB category, or in an XMB Item Tree. This is also an application of the '[[VSH:Module-Action|module-action]]' function. Example: | |||
{{Boxcode|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml"> | |||
<View id="seg_xmb_weblink"> | |||
<Attributes> | |||
<Table key="link_1"> | |||
<Pair key="icon_rsc"><String>dev_wiki_icon</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="title"><String>PS3 Dev Wiki</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="info"><String>Some info here</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="module_name"><String>webbrowser_plugin</String></Pair> | |||
<Pair key="module_action"><String>http://www.ps3devwiki.com/</String></Pair> | |||
</Table> | |||
</Attributes> | |||
<Items> | |||
<Item class="type:x-xmb/module-action" key="link_1" attr="link_1"/> | |||
</Items> | |||
</View> | |||
</syntaxhighlight>}} | |||
*Important Notes: | |||
**The 'Attributes' for this Web-Link follows the Attribute rules for a 'module-action' entry. | |||
**The 'webbrowser_plugin' module has been used to handle the request in the 'module_action' pair key, which is a web address | |||
**The 'attr' in the Items sub-entry is the same as the table key in the 'Attributes' sub-entry. | |||
**Remember that the icon_rsc string will search the rco file(used by the module running the category which this web link is on) for the icon 'dev_wiki_icon'. Whereas the title and info strings will just print the contents of the string. |
