Can you apply $PARAM[Widget] to a hidden button or label and then use that for the compare instead of the $PARAM directly?

Wow.... You're a genius, that worked perfectly

Thank you

Ok, this is what I'm actually trying to do.

skinshortcuts I have a set of widgets defined

xml:
 <widget-groupings>

    <!-- Embuary Helper Widgets -->

    <node label="$LOCALIZE[31496]" icon="DefaultFolder.png">

    <shortcut widget="embuaryhelpermoviesrandomgenre" label="$LOCALIZE[31497]" widgetType="movies" widgetTarget="video" condition="Library.HasContent(movies) + System.HasAddon(script.embuary.helper)">plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getbygenre&amp;unwatched=True&amp;type=movie&amp;reload=$INFO[Window(home).Property(EmbuaryWidgetUpdate)]</shortcut>

    <shortcut widget="embuaryhelpertvshowsrandomgenre" label="$LOCALIZE[31498]" widgetType="tvshows" widgetTarget="video" condition="Library.HasContent(tvshows) + System.HasAddon(script.embuary.helper)">plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getbygenre&amp;unwatched=True&amp;type=tvshow&amp;reload=$INFO[Window(home).Property(EmbuaryWidgetUpdate)]</shortcut>

    <shortcut widget="embuaryhelpernextepisodes" label="$LOCALIZE[31499]" widgetType="episodes" widgetTarget="video" condition="Library.HasContent(tvshows) + System.HasAddon(script.embuary.helper)">plugin://script.embuary.helper/?info=getnextup&amp;reload=$INFO[Window(home).Property(EmbuaryWidgetUpdate)]</shortcut>

    </node>

</widget-groupings>

Then in my widget template code I extract the widget property and pass it to the include code that displays the widget like so:-

xml:
<other include="widgets">

    <property name="widget" tag="property" attribute="name|widget" />

    <property name="label" tag="property" attribute="name|widgetName" />

    <controls>

        <control type="group" id="16000">

            <skinshortcuts>visibility</skinshortcuts>

            <control type="group">

                <include content="HomeWidgetLandscape">

                    <param name="WidgetLabel" value="$SKINSHORTCUTS[label]" />

                    <param name="Widget" value="$SKINSHORTCUTS[widget]" />

                </include>

            </control>

        </control>

    </controls>

</other>

Now depending on the value of $PARAM[Widget] I need to choose which label to display in my Widget include:-

xml:
<include name="HomeWidgetLandscape">

    <param name="WidgetLabel" default="" />

    <param name="Widget" default="" />

    <definition>

        <control type="group">

            <!-- Default fallback label if widget isn't an Embuary Helper widget -->

            <control type="label">

                <visible>String.IsEmpty(Container($PARAM[ListID]).ListItem.Property(searchstring))</visible>

                <label>$PARAM[WidgetLabel]</label>

            </control>

            <!-- Check $PARAM[Widget] to see which Embuary Helper widget it is -->

            <control type="label">

                <visible>!String.IsEmpty(Container($PARAM[ListID]).ListItem.Property(searchstring)) + String.IsEqual($PARAM[Widget],embuaryhelpermoviesrandomgenre)</visible>

                <label>$INFO[Container($PARAM[ListID]).ListItem.Property(searchstring),$LOCALIZE[31500] , $LOCALIZE[31501]]</label>

            </control>

            <control type="label">

                <visible>!String.IsEmpty(Container($PARAM[ListID]).ListItem.Property(searchstring)) + String.IsEqual($PARAM[Widget],embuaryhelpertvshowsrandomgenre)</visible>

                <label>$INFO[Container($PARAM[ListID]).ListItem.Property(searchstring),$LOCALIZE[31500] , $LOCALIZE[31502]]</label>

            </control>

        </control>

    </definition>

</include>

You see I have no Skin.String(foo) all I have is a text value in the includes $PARAM.

Thanks

ok.just a thought, as you use the fixed path anyway, and just differenciate between shows n movies, why just
dont use a variable visable condintion for the label.

sorry if i misunderstood.



like

xml:


[String.Contains(Container($PARAM[ListID]).Folderpath,getbygenre) + String.Contains(Container($PARAM[ListID]).Folderpath,type=tvshow)]

or

String.Contains(Container($PARAM[ListID]).Folderpath,getbygenre) + String.IsEqual(Container($PARAM[ListID]).dbtype,tvshow))

I actually tried that but Container($PARAM[ListID]).Folderpath on an Embuary filled widget item doesn't return the plugin path it returns nothing.

Thanks anyway.
