Creating custom Tagcache query?

(1/9) > >>

afruff23:
The tagnavi.config syntax is very confusing, even with that guide in the wiki. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to create a tagcache menu item called "Electronica". I would like it to work by adding any songs tagged with house, trance, electronica, IDM, etc. (I have many other genres, but an example consisting of more than 2 genres under this menu item will help me do the rest on my own). The menu item should be called "Electronica" as stated before. The first level should display artists. The second level should display albums. The third level should display tracks.

Also, I would like to create another tagcache menu item called "Genre Albums". This would have the first level be genres. The second level would be albums. The third level should display tracks.

Thanks again.

The Wiki has not yet been updated with the V 2.0 syntax changes...

I think this should work, but I haven't tested it ;)

--- Code: ---"Electronica"  -> artist ? genre = "house" & genre = "trance" & genre = "IDM" -> album -> title = "%02d %s" tracknum title
--- End code ---

This will work:

--- Code: ---"Genre Albums"        -> genre -> album -> title = "%02d %s" tracknum title
--- End code ---

Unfortunately this won't work. It should be

However the | (OR) operator has not been implemented (yet). Unfortunatly this is not easy to do either.

For your special case I can envision a "oneof" operator, where you supply a list of possible values e.g.


--- Code: ---"Electronica"  -> artist ? genre oneof "house|trance|IDM" -> album -> title = "%02d %s" tracknum title
--- End code ---

I might give it a try and make a patch to see how well it works.

Of course it won't, I was forgetting my database queries logic there :)  Thanks for putting me straight. Oh well, one out of two isn't too bad.
