Title: Need help from MC or plugin developer
Post by: MrHaugen on November 17, 2006, 04:14:10 pm
Hello

I really need your help to get my plugin project running. Need a few things clarified.

Here it goes agian...

I want to make a plugin for Style/themes etc.
And I want to store data for this things.

Example of what could be stored:

Are my only choise to save the Field information as String, and use the "normal wizard" that's in use for Artists, Genre etc to generate playlists?


If I store the and choose the tags like this "Cheerfull;Funky;Electric;Normal;HeavyBass;Party".
I will get the following problems.....?

1. You get the options as a plain wizard list. It will be impossible to categorize the different tags in any way?

2. I think the result would be a list of song wich contains "Cheerfull" AND "Funky" AND "Electric" AND "Normal" AND "HeavyBass" AND "Party" right? That's how it works with artists and similar aint it?

3. IF I implement limitations on choosing tags for the styles in the plugin, like, you can't choose "Party" and "Sad/Depressed" at the same time. It would be impossible to mimic this behavior when choosing the styles in wizard mode right?

I'm starting to think that I might need to make the plugin able to generate smartlists for the users, or something like that.
