[SOLVED] %LB tag, what is it exactly for ?

[steak]

I found this "%LB" tag in a sbs file and used it to try to write mine.

It seems to display the browsing path while in File browser menu but I am not sure about that, I mean it does, but it may do other things...

It's not described in the manual. Or I did not find it, that kind of thing happens to me sometimes 

I suppose it will be in later and hope some dev guy will tell us in the meantime.

You're correct about it not being in the manual, ...like many tags, and this is an oversight.

It has nothing to do with the current path, however.

From memory, the %LB tag (can be used as a conditional) is used to display the scroll bar in skinned lists (or, as a conditional, check if a scroll bar is required). A good rule of thumb, if you can't find it in the manual, check here.

Thanks for the tip although I realised that already. Thanks for the link as well. Unfortunately I think I need a teacher rather than wiki pages. I seem to lack the basics and spend too much time fiddling with syntax which looks straightforward at first glance but then never work no matter how I use it

For instance, I've tried to use %and and %or in a code line like :

%?if(%and(%cH>=6,%cM<=8)<%cH:%cM%, no hurry...|F..k it's %cH:%cM% !>

It did not work, neither without %?if nor with any other change I made... Not really important, it just made me mad since it's probably simple with a bit of basics.

%?and(%if(%cH, >=, 6), %if(%cM, <=, )<yes|no> I think will work

%?and(%if(%cH, >=, 6), %if(%cM, <=, )<yes|no> I think will work

I tried :

Code: [Select]

%?and(%?if(%cH, >=, 6), %?if(%cM, <=, 8))<blah blah|yeah right>

did not work

then :

Code: [Select]

%?%?and(%?if(%cH, >=, 6), %?if(%cM, <=, 8))<blah blah|yeah right>

neither.

get rid of the ?'s on the inside %if's

Tried it, no way. I would have been surprised, %?if syntax is clear in the manual and I've used it without problem. Then of course, %if could be a different tag.

Thanks for suggestions. I am closing the subject in order to focus on actual work
