OK i'm playing around with confluence as part of learning to skin and have managed to get selectable plugins to display on the home screen under LiveTV in Frodo Beta 1.
I thought i'd document the changes here so others can do this if they so wish.
Preamble
I'm using notepad++ to make these changes and i must stress that i am new to this so there could be mistakes. If you follow this tutorial PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE backup before doing so. Also i'm not localizing here as I only speak English, you can hard code your language specific text yourself (Just replace mine) or add a label number and localize yourself.
OK we are going to edit the following files IncludesHomeMenuItems.xml, Home.xml and SkinSettings.xml
I'll provide what were current line numbers in notepad++ for where i inserted the modifications but i'll also try and list a defined search string so you can be assured your in the right place. I prefer this approach to hard coded xmls as frodo is constantly updating and you may find the need to use a more recent version of confluence in the future.
Modifications
includesHomeMenuItems.xml
on or around lines 318 find:
and directly underneath add the following
Home.xml
on or around lines 1015 find:
Directly underneath this add the following
SkinSettings.xml
On or around line 828 find:
Directly underneath this add the following code
Conclusion
You can change the plugins and positions by going to settings / Appearance / Skin / Settings / Add-on Shortcuts
I hope its useful for some people. I know we love having the catchup plugins there with youtube plugins etc on TV and Movies screens.
