Learning to skin

[Skibum]

Would it be possible for someone to post detailed steps to simply place a selectable list of album covers on a new page of a skin? I understand the buttons and controls, but can't figure out this simple thing.


Thanks

Hi,

What you need to do is:

goto the screen tab of the pause/break menu

enter a name for your category in the category space, then add.

it will appear on the screen.

move it to where you are happy

then goto Item>Category

it should have a name
info screen is musicdetail
%artist% next to display

then you can choose the other options as required.

Under default make sure that ID is openalbum.

and it should work!

That is what I have been trying.... All I get is a blank box.


I HAVE to be doing something stupid!



IT WAS.... I was not selecting the database "music"



Thanks for your help. Maybr now I can actually be productive.
