Addon config notification

[gexptwo]

I'm new to MM Addons and the forum. Sorry if this is a duplicate but have not found an answer.
I'm writing a MM5 display Addon with config. My actions_add.js does

Code: Select all

uitools.openDialog('display', .....

My display.html references display.js which does the work when trackChange occurs.

Code: Select all

app.listen(app.player, 'playbackState', displayTrack);

I figured out config.html and config.js. Question: How do I signal the display dialog window when the addon config is updated?
In display.js I tried

Code: Select all

app.listen(app, 'settingsChange', mysettings);

But this appears to only fire when the user clicks OK on the main MM Options window, not when clicking OK on my addon settings. I checked the app API but did not see a way to send a signal/event.

You're almost there! Just do app.notifySettingsChange() in your config file on save. Example: https://github.com/ventismedia/mediamon ... /config.js

I see that notifySettingsChange was not documented. I've added it now.

Looks like that works! Great thanks!
FYI on the "Getting Started (Addsons)" page (it would not let me paste URL)
under config.js example, I think

Code: Select all

        app.setValue('myAddon_config', this.state);

should be

Code: Select all

        app.setValue('myAddon_config', this.config);

You're right, thanks for the correction! Fixed now.
