Hey guys!<br><br>Here is a quick update about the Plasma Media Center backends in writing a dataengine in JS.<br><br>The DateEngine really runs (thanks to aaron :) )<br>For now, it can make a flickr.photo.search requests get the response and parse the xml, and display it on the dataEngine.<br>
I had to paste the xml to script lib into my dataengine, due to "include" problems. I know that a JS plasmoid has a command<br><br>plasmoid.include('libsomething.js');<br><br>however it doesn't work with my dataengine (although i used engine.include('libsomething.js'); )<br>
If you are wondering why the dataengine data, such as "published date" or "keywords" is empty, then it is because of flickr: there should be a specific getPhotoInfo request when you want to get the information.<br>
<br>the next thing is to write the "fetch addons" function (waiting for aaron ;) ) in this DataEngine and extract my request-response-parseXml code into an Addon.<br>btw. i remember that the addon should have some kind of a main function? how should the addon give its information to the DateEngine?<br>
<br>Another thing I was wondering about the MediaData API: since we merged the "video" and "photo" API together, there are still attributes that are disjunct. should i just drop them for now?<br><br><br>
