DK Path element
« on: August 24, 2003, 05:00:17 pm »
I am using DK8.1 and I recently included the path element in my skin.  The default setting in frontend.ini is set up to cycle through 3 different elements, the caption, gamename, and category.  (PathCycles=-1|1|6)

I do not want to cycle through these elements, but just to display the game name.  I have tried setting PathCycles=1, assumig the numbers relate to the dir.ini searchstring and filters numbers.

When I have it set this way, it only displays the caption I have entered in my dir.ini file.  I played around with it a bit, but I can not get just my game name to display unless it is in the cycling format I listed above and actively cycling.

Thanks for any help,

Terry

Well I just figured out a way to do it, but I don't know it is the proper way.
I set PathCycles=1|1|1 and it seems to work ok.

Any comments on this method?

To use path cycles you have to have at least two elements listed, thus the name.  ;)

How would you disable path cycles to just display the game name in the path element?

How you did it.  As I said, it's path cycles.  It isn't designed to show 1 of anything.
