My New Template - Discontinued
yeah I could port it to perl, php, asp etc but then you might as well just use SQL also, which makes for a totally different template really. Although I guess you do get cgi-bins without access to sql servers, still it would be better to write the whole thing again rather then convert. Also reason I made this was so that you didn't need a fancy account and you could run it locally too. There is probably some way I could speed it up, when I've finished exams I might look into what is slowing it down the most and figure a better way of doing things.
Well version 0.8 is well on the way, I thought I might post some pics of it in mozilla. (Note the colours have been reduced to save space)
Pic 1
Pic 1 shows the new Orange style, using layout3.xml. It also shows the new ability to change layouts in the option menu
Pic 2
Pic 2 looks fairly much like the old versions (light style using Layout1.xml), but you may notice the separation between Title Letters and Countries.
Pic 3
Pic 3 uses layout2.xml in the Dark style (which did come with earlier versions, just not many people seemed to realise). It's sorted by Rating, which is indicated by a little arrow in the Rating Column.
Well that's it from me. I still have a few things to fix/add before version 0.8 is done, I've been asked alot about why there is text after the table and sometimes why pictures don't show up, try running the script here

Hey Twink ....
I have a little problem with ur template, when I do a search, it wants a full movie name ...
so , for example if I want to find a movie 'Trainspotting' and I search for 'train' , it doesn' give me anything ... if I search for 'trainspotting' ... it returns me the trainspotting ...
so ... is there any way to make a search to search a partial name .. ?
thx

XSLT
Since you were talking about XML and XSL you might be interested in my new template (XSLT).
It consists of four main files + images:
It's strictly IE 6 and requires the latest XML Parser from microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/rele ... &ordinal=2
(this is because all transformations are done on the client side html-file)
You can find the src file here:
http://www.tegenaria.com/movieDB/xslt_template.rar
When u have downloaded the src file, unrar it and export your movieDB as html.
Choose data/movies.xml as template and save as data/movies.xml. (might want to backup original movies.xml first)
I read in your (antp) post that you could save the db as xml right from the program (with save as) but that was actually to late

It consists of four main files + images:
- index.html (main page)
data/movies.xml (xml data for movies)
transform.xml (XSL transform xml -> html)
style_default.css
images/*.png (star images)

Hello Twink,
I was just thinking over ur template, and thought, could you make also a page for individual movies ....
I mean, like when I click on the cell of the movie, it doesn't show details under that cell, but opens up the new window ....
that way I could reduce veeery much my file sizes, and it would be much better for me
thx

Twink, could you write information about new version, changelog, “to do”, known bugs etc. in first post (by editing it) plizzzz? Now it is very easy to miss something important in such many posts.
