Hi List and Paul,
I took a run at generalizing the mythuiwebbrowser widget for general
use in themes, but didn't have much success. I'd like to be able to
pass the widget a <url> parameter and thus use it on any themed
page/menu. Think Apple's "webclips." This would allow some neat
customizations like sports scores, mythweb status, etc., and
ultimately when QT 4.5 is released/becomes a requirement, fancier
things like embedded players from various sites. If I am missing
something and the capability already exists, can you detail how? I
followed the example in mythuiwebbrowser.cpp but that one seems to
rely heavily on being passed all the QUrl stuff by the plugin/program
itself. How complicated would it be to also be able to parse the URL
from the theme XML? I did spend some time working on it but I'm just
not familiar enough with this part to have gotten very far.
Thanks,
Robert
