==module-action example==
'''module-action''' is an [[XMBML Coding|XMBML]] command that works like a module (.sprx file) intercom, allowing XMBML files to use/send commands to a selected module, so it can perform functions outside the limits of the module managing that XMB Category.
This is an XMBML command, typically this is used with the [[XMBML Structure]] below:
{{Boxcode|content=<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<View id="Entry_1">
<Attributes>
<Table key="XMB_MODULE">
<Pair key="icon"><String>a valid entry for this pair key</String></Pair>
<Pair key="title"><String>a valid entry for this pair key</String></Pair>
<Pair key="info"><String>a valid entry for this pair key</String></Pair>
<Pair key="module_name"><String>a valid entry for this pair key</String></Pair>
<Pair key="module_action"><String>a valid entry for this pair key</String></Pair>
</Table>
</Attributes>
<Items>
<Item class="type:x-xmb/module-action"  key="XMB_MODULE" attr="XMB_MODULE"/>
</Items>
</View>
</syntaxhighlight>}}


The list of usable modules is indexed in '''xmb_plugin.sprx''' (modules availables in main XMB) and '''xmb_ingame.sprx''' (modules availables in in-game XMB) and contains the module reference, the path to the module (.sprx file), and the path to the associated resource (.rco file).
This acts like a module (SPRX) intercom, allowing XML files to use/send commands to a selected module, so it can perform functions outside the limits of the module managing that XMB Category.

All the .sprx modules are stored in path: '''/dev_flash/vsh/module/''' and the .rco resource files in path: '''/dev_flash/vsh/resource/'''

= Common uses =
===Common uses===
*explore_plugin.sprx
Can be used to stub XMB items in {{Shop}} Firmware. All firmwares use this method to stub XMB items which have been stubbed. <small>With the exception of some XMB items which make "sel://" calls (such as "What's New") which have been left in-tact and Shop FW modules have only recently (4.30+?) blocked these calls returning the "This operation cannot be used during demonstration mode" message.</small>


== A Web-Site link ==
*webbrowser_plugin.sprx
This type of entry cab be placed on the root of the XMB category or in an XMB Item Tree. It makes a call to [[webbrowser_plugin|webbrowser_plugin.sprx]]
Can be used to create [[XMB XML Coding#A Web-Site link|website links]]

*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 for the icon 'dev_wiki_icon' inside the rco file associated with the XMB category this XMBML code is placed, or alternativelly inside explore_plugin_full.rco
**The title will just print the contents of the string.
