HI,
I have a quick question... It's going to be something really basic but I can't find it..
Basically,
When my add-on is started, it downloads data files (.xml) from my server..
I have added .xml files for every user eg:
welcome-aarronlee.xml (aarronlee is the username of a forum I have).
I would like to put such command like "welcome-$user.xml" so the username in settings.xml changes "$username" to the username inputed in the config del addon...
At the moment I have it set to "welcome.xml" so that anyone can access it, but I would like to make it more specific for added security so that only the files (of each user) I have uploaded to my server would load without manually having to do an add-on customized for every user as there are about 60 people with this add-on.
I also don't want the add-on connecting to auth the user... just make it "do-able" and keeping it basic making the user input his username in the username textbox of the configuration of the add-on and have python recognise this and add the username id to the .xml
Here is an example of coding:
addon.py:
settings.xml:
I hope I have explained correctly...
Thanks
