Plugin: HideSettings (Update 2010/04/18)

[calimero100582]

Here is the code for a basic plugin to hide Settings menu, this may be usefull when you have kids.

Code: Select all

traceln("Start loading HideSettingsPlugin Plugin")
function HideSettingsPlugin(path) {
    this.rootPath = path;
}

// chain HideSettingsPlugin with proper inheritance - classical in javascript
HideSettingsPlugin.prototype = new Plugin()
HideSettingsPlugin.prototype.constructor = HideSettingsPlugin;

HideSettingsPlugin.prototype.doBuildMenus = function() {
   Menu.Top.$$Settings.visible = false;
}

HideSettingsPlugin.prototype.onPageKey =  function(page, key)
{
  if(page.markupFileName == "villa_home.xml" && !Menu.Top.$$Settings.visible && key == "23" && page.getParam("current_node_name") != "$$Settings" && page.getParam("root_node_name") == "") {
    Menu.Top.$$Settings.visible = true;
    page.redraw(true); // force redraw
}
}
 
// create our plugin with baseParg pointing to current script path
// global variables scriptName, scriptLocation and scriptFullPath are available, no need to do the following
HideSettingsPlugin.instance = new HideSettingsPlugin(scriptPath)

// register our plugin with Ext
Plugin.registerPlugin(HideSettingsPlugin.instance)

Edit 1: Pressing "Options" shows the Settings. Power Off -> On sequence, using remote, hide Settings.

can this plugin be used to make only specific menu selections available?

Here is what I am thinking/hoping, when I click on VIDEO, the next screen I see is the one where my media files are. Rather than having to navigate more screens to get to them.

This is a different one, but I know someone did this.

What menu do you want to link to?? Video -> Local Drives -> Folders?? or something else??

[recliq]

yep, i did

what this does is, it links the main menu items video, music, photos directly to 'Local Drives -> Folders' within this menu.

here's the code, maybe it is of some ispiration...

Code: Select all

traceln("Start loading MediaFolder plugin")

function MediaFolderPlugin(path) {

        this.rootPath = path;
        traceln("MediaFolder plugin : base path is " + this.rootPath);

}

MediaFolderPlugin.prototype = new Plugin();
MediaFolderPlugin.prototype.constructor = MediaFolderPlugin;

MediaFolderPlugin.prototype.doBuildMenus = function() {

        traceln("MediaFolderPlugin.prototype.doBuildMenus...");

        Menu.Top.$$Video.handler = function(){
                Menu.Top["$$Video"]["$$Local Drives"]["$$Folders"].handler()
        };
        Menu.Top.$$Video.title = "Movies";

        Menu.Top.$$Music.handler = function(){
                Menu.Top["$$Music"]["$$Local Drives"]["$$Folders"].handler()
        };

        Menu.Top.$$Photos.handler = function(){
                Menu.Top["$$Photos"]["$$Local Drives"]["$$Folders"].handler()
        };
}

MediaFolderPlugin.instance = new MediaFolderPlugin(scriptPath);

Plugin.registerPlugin(MediaFolderPlugin.instance);

traceln("End loading MediaFolder plugin");

yep, something like that Video -> {Root of my mounted media store} currently its Videos->Local Drives->Folders->Movies->{Root of my mounted media store}

Cool Beans!

can I just paste that code with appropriate edits into a file in the plugins directory?

Yes, only naming convention i know of is that the filename has to end with '.plugin.js'

This is quite usefull when you don't want a plugin to load, just rename it!
eg.
MyPlug.plugin.js -> MyPlug.plugin

and it won't get loaded next time you reboot

Great script, thanks!

Is it possible to let it jump to a specific folder within 'Local Drives -> Folders'? I tried to add ["$$Fotos"] (Fotos is the mount name of one of my subfolders) but it doesn't work (this menu just becomes inactive).

Any idea?

not yet, maybe in future versions of wdtvext.

[Senseohasser]

Ah, bummer! Thanks anyway, the script along with wdtvext is already a huge improvement for me.
