AW: Create a plugin configuration

First, there is a difference between the "Setting" and the "Configuration":

"Setting" stores your configured values (i.e. a string "Share").
"Configuration" classes used to provide support for changing settings from GUI.

For a very simple example look at the Setting for my slimtv4homeprovider:
[CODE] class TV4HomeProviderSettings
{
/// <summary>
/// Holds the host name or IP adress of the TV4home service (running on same machine as TvServer).
/// </summary>
[Setting(SettingScope.User, "localhost")]
public string TvServerHost { get; set; }
}[/CODE]

and the related configuration class: TV4HomeServerAddress.cs (note the inheritance from "Entry", a simple string input)

[CODE]using MediaPortal.Common.Configuration.ConfigurationClasses;
using MediaPortal.Plugins.SlimTvClient.Providers.Settings;

namespace MediaPortal.Plugins.SlimTv.Providers.Settings.Configuration
{
public class TV4HomeServerAddress[B] : Entry[/B]
{
public override void Load()
{
_value = SettingsManager.Load<TV4HomeProviderSettings>().TvServerHost;
}

public override void Save()
{
base.Save();
TV4HomeProviderSettings settings = SettingsManager.Load<TV4HomeProviderSettings>();
settings.TvServerHost = _value;
SettingsManager.Save(settings);
}

public override int DisplayLength
{
get { return 50; }
}
}
}[/CODE]

You can use some different configuration "editor" classes from the MediaPortal.Common.Configuration.ConfigurationClasses namespace.

The plugin.xml then have to contain the class name of a Configuration class.

I hope this brings you a step further
