Hello to all!!

In my journey to learn how to make a skin, I'm still have trouble to really understand how $PARAM work!

I have this $PARAM:

Code:

<include name="NoWidgets">
        <param name="label">$PARAM[text_label]</param>
        <definition>
             <control type="textbox">
                <width>100%</width>
                <height>150</height>
                <label>$PARAM[text_label]</label>
                <align>center</align>
                <aligny>center</aligny>
                <font>font14</font>
            </control>             
        </definition>
    </include>

and then, this to call: 

Code:

<include content="NoWidgets">
     <param name="$PARAM[text_label]">$LOCALIZE[31116]</param>
</include>

This is right? (damn, PARAMS are so tough LOL)

to make it easier for people getting into skinning,
we have a very extensive manual, which includes a section about params:
https://kodi.wiki/view/Skinning_Manual#U...n_includes

Try the following:-

xml:
<include name="NoWidgets">

  <param name="label" default="some default value used if you don't pass a param" />

  <definition>

    <control type="textbox">

      <width>100%</width>

      <height>150</height>

      <label>$PARAM[label]</label>

      <align>center</align>

      <aligny>center</aligny>

      <font>font14</font>

    </control>            

  </definition>

</include>

xml:
<include content="NoWidgets">

     <param name="label" value="$LOCALIZE[31116]" />

</include>

As ronie said the skinning manual goes into detail on how it works.
