Making a New Field for use as Location on Html

Post by SKMO »

I have been using the Media Label as a place to put the Assigned Numbers of my Dvds.
Using the numbers filed was not an option as I was using that another way.
Now that I have a growing Digital collection on SSD and will be using DLNA and Scanning, the media label is not enough.
I need a Location Field. I was just adding the SSD name to the DVD numbers (Some entries have multiple numbers and locations) but that invalidates the movie, adds it as new when scanning SSD, and makes me get all the internet info again. I can edit the file path and make it work but I need a better solution that the internet or scanning will not replace or delete or wipe out.

I dont do scripting or Delphi but know enough to follow instructions . I read the help file on "New Fields" 100s of times and still do not know what to put in the blanks as there is no pop up for us non scripting folks.

I have been trying to do this for a while off and on with no luck at all.
I learned html , pretty well,.....25 years ago .(before class )..and just barely can edit the basicblu.html for custom use, but I have.
I finally added a new field Named Location (HC) (HC = hard copy)
I made it a text type field and could see it in my AMC display and grid.
When I tried to add it to the html , it was not good. It showed the class label words. I changed class to customfield label and name on html and still did not work.
I tried to make a virtual field and had the same problem.

Could someone send me a screenshot of how to make this field properly..... AND make it show in the html class label?
Thank you for all your wonderful work and making my hobby fun and interesting. (I have a very full and tall Legal size filing cabinet full of envelopes) and this app just keeps letting me add more. :D

I should add that I am not trying to link to the movie in the html- I only want to be able to see the locations of the dvds in my filing cabinet by using the number/locations I have assigned to it.

I'm not sure sure how it works exactly as it is a feature that was added by Mickaël.
What did you try exactly? (screenshot / code)
Maybe it would be easier for me to help then to find where is the problem.

If I understand the problem you want to add a custom field to your html template so that it shows up in your html view.

As an example, I have a custom field called IMDBID. This is the code I added to the html template to get it listed in the html view as part of the table.

The key seems to be to add "CF_" before the field name.

<tr>
<td class="gr">$$LABEL_CF_IMDBID:</td>
<td class="wh">$$ITEM_CF_IMDBID</td>
</tr>

I hope that is what you are looking for.
