Mainmenu XML info available in theme question

[rikoos]

Hi,

 

I have a entry in my mainmenu.xml but i want to use more info in my theme by adding more information into the XML.

 

Old line: 

 

  <game name="Atari Classics"/>

 

New line:

 

  <game name="Atari Classics">

    <description>Atari Classics</description>

    <manufacturer>Atari Inc.</manufacturer>

    <year>1972</year>

  </game>

 

This way i can show more info about a system instead of using png/swf files. 

 

Is this possible to use the main menu xml the same way as in a system wheel XML? It seems it is not working the same way.

You would have to add it to Each theme. That's the only way

The thing is ... i want them only in my mainmenu to be used. so i have one default theme and no theme for each system. 

 

So there is no way that it can use a XML entry in my default generic mainmenu from mainmenu.xml?

You will need a unique theme for each wheel even if you just copy and paste it each time then you need a layer for you info. I have a template in the download section but decided to use them within the wheel instead and order the systems by year

The thing is, why is it possible to read the xml for fields in game wheels and not in the mainmenu wheel ;-) Its only needed in main for me. 

If not possible i will stay with one default theme and add a transparant png with the text on the layer. Just 43 systems so 43 pngs for each defined is needed, need to work on my PS skills hahahaha
