Guide posted not working for v7 STV default

[dinki]

Hey guys. I may be doing something totally wrong, but I am having a hard time following the guide at:


http://www.sage.tv/sagetvstudio.htm

for adding a menu item for the default STV in v7. Can someone tell me where the main menu items are in the default STV for v7?

That is based on the older SageTV3.xml, not SageTV7.xml.

Right, I understand that:

My question still remains. Can someone tell me where to look please?

They're not that hard to find. The comments and panel names are pretty self-explanatory, e.g. "Draw top level menu content area", "Menu Content Area", "Draw left-side menu items", etc.

They are when you don't know what you're looking for. All I'm trying to do is add a menu item that will launch a batch script when I click on it. Apologies for posting this stupid question.

Sorry if I came across as condescending. If what you're saying is that you've never opened Studio before and don't know what a comment or panel or menu item looks like, then diving right into the stock STV is probably the wrong place to start. Read through the Studio guide and work the tutorial examples until you're familiar with the basic concepts.

Once you've done that, the signposts guiding you to the Main Menu content should be fairly clear.
