PagedMenu append but do not increment number

[12jdlovins]

Hey is it possible to append text to a menu without incrementing the number required to press it? I want to have some text that is dynamic above the options but doing menu.append() causes it to increment the rest of the options. Setting selectable to false doesn't do that sadly.

There is the description attribute. It will display a text between the menu title and the first separator.

I know I saw that but it's not what I need. I need to display information between the separators without messing up the ordering.

Title
-----------------
Some info
More info
1. Option 1
2. Option 2
------------------

Is what I'm ideally looking to do.


edit:

Looking at how the menus are coded this is not really easy to do it seems... which is a shame because i really need it

You need to implement that on your own by subclassing PagedRadioMenu. This is how you would do that:

Syntax: Select all

from menus.radio import PagedRadioMenu
from menus.radio import PagedRadioOption as PagedOption
from commands.typed import TypedSayCommand

class PagedMenuHdr(PagedRadioMenu):
    def _format_header(self, player_index, page, slots):
        buffer = super()._format_header(player_index, page, slots)
        buffer += 'Some info\nMoreInfo\n'
        return buffer
        
menu = PagedMenuHdr()
menu.append(PagedOption('Option 1'))
menu.append(PagedOption('Option 2'))

@TypedSayCommand('!test')
def on_test(info, *args):
    menu.send(info.index)

menu = PagedMenuHdr()
menu.append(PagedOption('Option 1'))
menu.append(PagedOption('Option 2'))

@TypedSayCommand('!test')
def on_test(info, *args):
    menu.send(info.index)

Thanks for the reply!

That's pretty close but i only want it on the first page and it needs to be built each refresh on the build callback due to the information changing from user input. I'm messing around in radio.py and i see what the issue is but not sure how to fix it elegantly.

Well, then you just need to add a single line:

Syntax: Select all

class PagedMenuHdr(PagedRadioMenu):
    def _format_header(self, player_index, page, slots):
        buffer = super()._format_header(player_index, page, slots)
        if page.index == 0:
            buffer += 'Some info\nMoreInfo\n'
        return buffer

        return buffer

Hmm well I guess that would work wouldn't it... I just finished hacking away at the base radio.py code and made this work with however many .append() calls... Though I will be forced to go with your solution if i want to keep updates :P

Syntax: Select all

def _format_body(self, player_index, page, slots):
        """Prepare the body for the menu.

        :param int player_index: A player index.
        :param _PlayerPage page: The player's current page.
        :param slots: A set to which slots can be added.
        :type slots: :class:`set`
        """
        buffer = ''
        
        # Get all options for the current page
        options = self._get_options(page.index)
        numbered_options = []

        for option in options:
            if isinstance(option, PagedRadioOption):
                numbered_options.append(option)

        page.options = dict(tuple(enumerate(numbered_options, 1)))
        option_index = 1

        # Loop through all options of the current page
        for option in options:
            if isinstance(option, PagedRadioOption):
                buffer += option._render(player_index, option_index)
                if option.selectable:
                    slots.add(option_index)
                option_index += 1
            elif isinstance(option, Text):
                buffer += option._render(player_index, 0)
            else:
                buffer += Text(option)._render(player_index, 0)

        # Fill the rest of the menu
        if self.fill:
            buffer += ' \n' * (self._get_max_item_count() - len(options))

        return buffer

edit:

Yeah your solution is better since it allows to fit more stuff into the menu. I forgot you can extend things like that...
