Title: Scrolling up and down through collections
Post by: ScarAce1989 on August 10, 2020, 08:33:21 AM
Hi,

I was wondering how I should setup this?
I use the left and right buttons to scroll through a collection.
I want to use the up and down buttons to scroll through different collections without going back to the systems menu.

Menus are defined as vertical or horizontal in the layout.xml of the theme. Depending on which one it is, other buttons are used to control it.

So how should this be done?
I added a layout I would like to make as attachment.

Define the first menu (system menu) with layout vertical and the second menu (game menu) with layout horizontal.
Then use collectionUp/Down and the left/right buttons in your controls.conf to configure your menu controls.
In addition, set enterOnCollection and startCollectionEnter to true or yes in your settings.conf file.
That should do the trick; the rest is just a matter of writing your layout.xml to show things the way you want them to.
