Hi,

I would like to create a complex settings menu with 2 requirements:
1. Validate credentials on server side and notify the user of valid\invalid
2. If credentials are correct, I would like to fill a combo box ("values") with server-side provided list that specific to this user.

For example, here is a flow for my settings:
1. the user enters the settings menu and see 3 different settings (username, password, and empty combo box selection)
2. the user enters the username\password
3. the add-on will let the user know if the credentials are correct
4. the add-on will fill the combo box with values (the third settings) based on the user's data on the server
5. the user will select one of the options in the combo box.

I didn't find anything remotely close to this. I saw that there is an "action" on the "setting" node but couldn't find anything that will allow me to run Python code upon changes and fill a combo box data.

Thanks!

Save settings received from server and close and re-run settings dialog?

Thanks for your reply. I still don't understand when to do this. The settings are received from the server only after the user enters credentials (phase 4 above)

For similar purpose in my addon for next-episode.net site I used a custom login dialog: https://github.com/santah/next-episode-k...ds.py#L198
