[QUOTE="Vic Demented, post: 992243, member: 137971"] Ok @[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/members/morpheus_xx.48495/']morpheus_xx[/URL] here are my latest changes: Fist, I added a new XML document to store the category definitions (I am sure this will change once we give the users the ability to create these categories via the UI). [CODE=XML]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <Categories> <Category Name="Math" IconPath="http://files.softicons.com/download/system-icons/windows-8-metro-icons-by-dakirby309/png/512x512/Applications/Calculator.png" BannerPath="http://www.math.siu.edu/Images/chalkboardheader.jpg" KeyWord="Math"/> <Category Name="Physics" IconPath="http://www.engr.ku.edu/departments/dept_icons/physx_icon_sm.png" BannerPath="http://www.science.uq.edu.au/images/careers/header-physics.jpg" KeyWord="Physics" /> <Category Name="Chemistry" IconPath="http://cyfallshs.com/wp-content/uploads/119768-matte-grey-square-icon-signs-love-potion.png" BannerPath="http://www.oliveoilsource.com/files/category_pictures/Olive_Chem_header.jpg" KeyWord="Chemistry" /> </Categories>[/CODE] Next I created a new struct that holds the presentationdetails[] as well as the new attributes from the XML: [CODE=C#] public struct CategoryCollection { public string CategoryName; public string IconPath; public string BannerPath; public PresentationDetails[] Presentations; }[/CODE] Next I created a new Load method that loads the Collection based on the categories stored in the XML. [CODE=C#] /// <summary> /// Populates object with array of presentations where the value of the key "CategoryName" = value /// </summary> public void LoadCategoryCollection() { XPathDocument document = new XPathDocument(@"Plugins\mediasitePlugin\CategoryDefinition.xml"); XPathNavigator navigator = document.CreateNavigator(); XPathNodeIterator nodes = navigator.Select("/Categories/Category"); foreach (XPathNavigator item in nodes) { var _name = item.GetAttribute("Name", ""); var _iconPath = item.GetAttribute("IconPath", ""); var _bannerPath = item.GetAttribute("BannerPath", ""); CategoryCollection _collection = new CategoryCollection(); _collection.CategoryName = _name; _collection.IconPath = _iconPath; _collection.BannerPath = _bannerPath; var _pResponse = _client.QueryMediasiteKeyValuesByCriteria(new QueryMediasiteKeyValuesByCriteriaRequest() { Key = "CategoryName", Value = _collection.CategoryName, Ticket = _requestTicket, ApplicationName = _applicationName }); List<PresentationDetails> _tPresList = new List<PresentationDetails>(); if (_pResponse.KeyValues.Length > 0) { string[] pIDList = new string[_pResponse.KeyValues.Length]; for (int i = 0; i < _pResponse.KeyValues.Length; i++) { pIDList[i] = _pResponse.KeyValues[i].Id; } var tpresentations = _client.QueryPresentationsById(new QueryPresentationsByIdRequest() { PresentationIdList = pIDList, ApplicationName = _applicationName, Ticket = _requestTicket, IncludeKeyValues = true }); if (tpresentations.Presentations != null) { foreach (PresentationDetails _pres in tpresentations.Presentations) { _pres.VideoUrl = _pres.VideoUrl.Replace("$$NAME$$", GetMP4Content(_pres.Content).FileNameWithExtension).Replace("$$PBT$$", CreateAuthTicket(_pres.Id)).Replace("$$SITE$$", _sofoSite); } _collection.Presentations = tpresentations.Presentations; _categories.Add(_collection); } } } }[/CODE] The presenter image url is accessible via the presenters array attached to the presentation object (Presentation.Presenters[0].ImageUrl).
