what kind of popup is it ?
try with

The popup of the template xslt (where you see the picture, rating, actors, director, description,....). the is create automaticaly when I export my database to movies.xml (if there is a line break in my description of course).

Actually most of the fields in movies.xml is in a cdata clause which means that the xml parser will read everything in there as data (not code like ). If you want code within your description try to change (in movies.xml template):

Code: Select all

<description><![CDATA[$$ITEM_DESCRIPTION]]></description>

to:

Code: Select all

<description>$$ITEM_DESCRIPTION</description>

But you might get errors due to unallowed white space characters (that is why cdata is there

). And also like Ant said all tags have to closed in xml so will be .

Good luck!

Dans Outils -> Préférences -> Exportation il y a une option pour ça. Laisse le champ vide si les retour à la ligne ne doivent pas être remplacés (et dans ce cas tu peux aussi laisser le CDATA dans le XML, qui gèrera convenablement ce retour à la ligne, ce qui ne sera pas le cas du classique <description>$$ITEM....</description>)

In Tools -> Preferences -> Export there is an option for that. Keep the field empty if the linebreak shound not be replaced (and in this case, you can also keep the CDATA in the XML, it will manage these linebreaks correctly, where the classic <description>$$ITEM....</description> won't)

Sorry guys, but is there a chance, that anyone can give me a "Step by step" instruction on how to use Willspos` template (The one you can download in the first post)?

I`ve read the included readme but I can`t really follow the instructions, expecially the first point: "1.Save the file data/movies.xml as something.html and place it in the same directory as your Movie Catalog templates."

There`s something I´m doing wrong, it does not work....

Maybe someone can help me out...

greetz and thx

1. Step: Download Willspo's Template. And unzip.

2. Step: Open the Ant Movie Catalog and klick left "HTML-export" which you can find under "export".

3. Step: There you choose the template which is in the downloaded Willspo-folder.

4. Step: On the bottom you can find "export". There you choose movies.xml, which you can find in the "data"-subfolder of the downloaded folder. If somebody asks if you wanna overwrite - yes

5. Step: execute the index.html

okay, now I also got it running. except for the pictures.

AMC exported the pictures to the data folder; why are they not showing in the template?

*Guest* - Frau Holle · Post by *Guest* - Frau Holle » 2003-02-25 16:49:46

Be sure that you klick on a movie for detailed information. Only there you can see a pic.

What happens if the pop-up with the movie infoemation comes? Is there nothing in the box left? Is there an error with IE? Please make a screenshoot, so we can help much better.

turtle · Post by **turtle** » 2003-02-26 08:37:09

Okay, here is the screenshot. You can see the movie list loaded and there is no error. There is a jpg image available in the data directory, but it is not showing when I open the film's details.

Hey, strange. in preview it loaded the image, but not in the post. so try again, now with url:
http://turtle20003.tripod.com/Images/screen1.gif

Post by **antp** » 2003-02-26 09:27:41

to view the picture that's on tripod's forum you have to copy link to a new window

In your html exported list, if you right click on the picture and select properties, what's the link (url of the pic) ?

turtle · Post by **turtle** » 2003-02-26 10:40:38

file:///C:/Applications/Ant%20Movie%20Catalog/Templates/Willspo%20Template%203%20-%

it is not showing the rest of the URL. Could the length be the problem? Or the %20 's?

Here is the data from my moview.xml file. The picture occurs twice? Is that correct??

Hi,
delete CDATA! from your first picture-tag.
And delete the second picture-tag.

turtle · Post by **turtle** » 2003-02-26 15:48:06

Cannot get it to work. Tried your suggested change, but now I lost my movie list. What should be the correct syntax?

Post by **antp** » 2003-02-26 16:00:24

you have to change that in the template, not in the exported file
