I have been trying to get a list of mine to show the tv show plot on the season level, but I have not gotten anything to work, so I am wondering if it is at all possible. I usually use this below for all other areas out side of the list...
<control type="textbox">
<description>Plot Textbox</description>
<posx>335</posx>
<posy>65</posy>
<font>MediumBold3</font>
<textcolor>dfeeeeee</textcolor>
<width>575</width>
<height>110</height>
<label>$INFO[Container(68).ShowPlot]</label>
<align>justify</align>
<autoscroll delay="15000" time="2000" repeat="10000" />
<visible>Container.Content(seasons)</visible>
</control>
try:
<label>$INFO[Container.ShowPlot]</label>
<visible>Container.Content(seasons) + Control.IsVisible(68)</visible>
This works for me
cool, never knew we could show plot at season level. :-)
ronie, I'm disappointed in you.
Container.ShowPlot - Returns the TV Show Plot of the current container and can be used at season and episode level

Yes, and its a very nice feature as well.

I tried this, but still no luck. Are you using a label or a textbox.
Also mine is within the focused layout of a fixedlist.
I'm pretty sure that "Container.blah" info labels wont actually work inside a list control only the "Listitem.blah" actually get updated and feed to the control (something to do with speed). If you really want it you will have to position it outside but maybe jmarshall can confirm that
Correct. ListItem.* only for labels + images inside a control.
Thanks for the info. I worked around it by placing it outside. It would be nice to have a listitem.showplot for the season level though. Is this worth a trac ticket?

You can use them in the focusedlayout just not the itemlayout.
It doesn't make sense to me having listitem.showplot given that the showplot is the same for all seasons.
Thus the reason it's container.showplot.
@Hitcher: If that is the case it is certainly not on purpose
Cheers,
Jonathan

Mostly there because of recently added node
Indeed - we rest our case ;-)
