AW: Add date to basichomescreen?

Hello weemaaan!
You can configure how your date will be displayed in MediaPortal Configuration -> Plugins -> Select Home and click configure.

i noticed that there was some alignment problems when going onto other screens apart from basic home so I used the common.time.xml the m3rcury attached but renamed it common.time_v2.xml and then adjusted BasicHome.xml to match the new file so the date only appears on basic home screen.

I have made another mod to showup the date.. See the screenshot bellow..

The problem is that it doesn't fit in a lot of other windows.. What I want is that the date is only visible on the homescreen and when playing full screen tv or video and press the "y" button..

What do I have to add in the skinfile?

powermarcel10,

What I suggest you do is to put the attached common.date.xml in the same location of your common.time.xml, remove MOD from common.time.xml and add common.date.xml in the XMLs you need.

To identify which ones you need to update, scan XMLs for common.time.xml and code the same import, but for date in the ones of your choice.

Below is an example for BasicHome.xml

    </control>
    <import>common.time.xml</import>
    <import>common.date.xml</import>
    <import>common.fanart.scraperv.xml</import>

Hope this helps.....

Hi m3rcury,

fantastic! One big thanks for you.. It's wokring very good! This was exactly what I want..

So now I can add; "<import>common.date.xml</import>" to every xml I want? Nice.. Do you know wich xml is for fullscreen video?

EDIT: Hmmmm, a problem with the basichome is that when I generate a new basichome file with the editor, the date is gone.. Is there a way to fix that?

I would also suggest you turn off the patch system if you edit so many xml files as well.
