Pages
A project page. There are three types of pages: menu, page, popup. For page and popup types, some names are reserved and can't be used, not even as the initial part of a longer name. The reserved names are: menu, temp, music, cameras, timer, logout. While it is normal to have more link objects directed to the same page, it is an error to have more than one (page) object with the same name.

UI Attributes
Popup
A popup page, identified by a name and a popup type: simple or modal. It can have a close button, if it's necessary or if specified by the closebutton attribute.
Simple Popup
A simple popup opens up next to the object that generated it (eg. a link or user object) and it's closed by the same object. If there's no space, the popup will be opened at the center of the page, with a close button to close it.
Modal Popup
A modal popup is an exclusive popup that will open in the center of the page, while the background is grayed out. To close it, click on the background or on the close button (if it's visible).
Parameters
- page type: menu, page, or popup
- id: identifies the page. It's used on link objects to link it
- title: title shown at the top of the page, if the skin includes it
- size: width and height of the popup
- type: popup type: simple or modal. The default is simple
Syntax
(popup) defines the beginning of the page, (endofpopup) defines the end of the page. A size meta is used to define the popup's size.
(popup <id>; <title>) (#size <width>x<height>) ... (endofpopup)
Eg.
(popup mypopup; My Title; modal) (#size 300x250) ... (endofpopup)
UI Attributes
Popup attributes
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| popuptype | simple | Simple popup |
| modal | Modal popup | |
| dirs | list of any directions (up,right,down or left) | Specify the priority by which the opening direction of the popup is chosen. E.g. if dirs is up,down,right, when opening the popup it will try to position it on top of the object that generated it. If there's not enough space (if the popup exceeds the page area), it will try opening it below the object. If there's still not enough space, it will try on the right. If all the directions fail, it will open it at the center of the page, showing a close button to close it. |
