[QUOTE="mst3kroqs, post: 294235, member: 24137"] [b]Changing BasicHome Menu w/Aeon Wide Menu Generator[/b] Hi - Thanks again for the assistance here. I did end up walking through the BasicHome.XML that 'ships' with Aeon Wide and discovered that the <hyperlink> tags enclosed the value which was equivalent to the WindowID, and because Aeon Wide Menu Generator lists the WindowID associated with each XML in the status bar, by stepping through them I noted the following equivalent settings for the default menu 'as shipped': ItemName = WindowID = XMLName MOVIES = 6 = myvideo TV SERIES = 9811 = TVSeries MUSIC = 501 = mymusicsongs PICTURES = 2 = mypics WEATHER = 2600 = myweather DVD = 6 = myvideo RADIO = 30 = myradio SETTINGS = 4 = settings TV = 1 = mytvhome PLUGINS = 34 = myplugins What needed to be changed to support MesFilms was to change the first menu entry: MOVIES = 7986 = MesFilms I also modified my menu order and content to taste, and even created some submenus and turned on Sambal's RSS ticker. Very nice utility, my compliments and appreciation to JBurnette and Sambal. BTW - the other thing that cost me about 10 minutes of head-scratching was that when using the menu utility, the 'Folder' field under 'Background Images' was asking only for the foldername relative to the /skin/Aeon wide/Media/animations/ folder. Initially I was jamming an entire path in there, and this caused a blank background to be displayed when starting MP. Anyway - a pretty boring post I'm sure to the experts here, but perhaps this is useful for someone else coming into this 'cold'. To be clear - I can see it would be a much cooler utility if it allowed you to select a menu XML (eg. BasicHome, Game, Extra, etc.), parse it, and then display it, this would obviously remove the need to re-enter all of the values each time you wanted to modify the menu - but I do recognize that this is a lot of additional code. Still - on a rainy day - perhaps better than cleaning out the basement ... ;) Best regards. -m [/QUOTE]
