Well version 0.7 is my final offical release, but I decided to release what I'd done of 0.8 so far

0.8 = http://twink.orcon.net.nz/template0.8.rar
0.7 = http://twink.orcon.net.nz/template.zip

0.7 works with mozilla
0.8 might not work with mozilla , I never fully tested this, so likely to be very buggy (like the other ones werent

)

At the moment I have no plans to work on this template further sorry

HISTORY

* Action Field in Layout.xml can hide/show multiple rows now (Layout2.xml does this)

* Fixed the Quotation bug (By Using XML Movie Format)
* Fixed Groups with spaces in their name (ie New Zealand => New_Zealand)
* Fixed Column spans
* Fixed Sorting by numbers
* Fixed First Click Sort

Template

OLD POST FOLLOWS, please read last post for latest news.

After a few requests of people that seemed to like my old template I decided to rewrite it. This is still being worked on (old one won't be anymore). The look is very similar to the old one, although the scripting beneath is very different (Thanks alot to Willspo, I used parts from his Scripts).

I found a bug

if there is a quote ' in the description, it is cut

Posted: **2002-10-10 09:11:56**

Change all single quotes to double quotes after  and it will work.

Posted: **2002-10-10 12:35:46**

But then it will not work if there are " in the description...

Posted: **2002-10-10 22:57:21**

yeah, I know bout this bug. (thought I mentioned it)

if I changed it to " and Ant updates his program to use escape characters
like "=" (http://www.docnprof.com/character.html or http://kish.cc.il.us/faculty/dklick/cis119/html4.html bottom of page) i know this is a big ask, I just can't think of any other fix

Posted: **2002-10-10 23:21:39**

also the line
APPRECIATION='$$ITEM_APPRECIATION'
can't be changed due to use of "
leaving it with ' should be fine so no change needed

Posted: **2002-10-11 07:30:02**

In a future version I should add scripting for the export so it will be easier to make such things

Posted: **2002-10-11 08:21:09**

Updated.

Added in this Update

Options Dialog
Changed some Layout stuff
Partial fix for ' bug

Bugs

Links are black background with white text when shouldn't be
Options Dialog isn't perfect

Note: Still not finished, I haven't finished layout (ie colors etc)
I'm still adding things from first post.
Please feel free to suggest things.

Étant donné que le topic est en anglais, ça serait mieux de continuer en anglais...
(Since the topic is in English, it would be better to continue in English)

It is a template to export movie data, in the HTML export function.

Posted: **2002-10-12 06:32:14**

ADDED

Basic Sorting in Asceding/Descending Order (click Column Titles) WARNING don't click if you have alot of movies in the category it's rather slow.
Click on first row of info for any movie and it will expand (like my old template did) with Year, Director and Actors (Actors Disabled due to buggyness)

Various changes within script for upcoming functions (ie ability to choose what info is shown for each movie =D

FIXED
small bug to do with multiple categories (ie movies categories that look like "ACTION / DRAMA / ROMANCE")

Posted: **2002-10-14 08:11:46**

ADDED/CHANGED

Fixed a few Style Errors
Added "(None)" Groups
Renamed "All" group to "(All)" for sorting puposes
Now Sorts Groups
Changed how Groups and Group Types are made.
Modified a few things so external XML data source may be added in future edition (doesn't seem to support Movie.Attribute only Movie.getAttribute('Attribute'))

probably other things, really should keep changelog I guess.

Although I still have quite a few ideas for this template it would be nice to get back some feedback on what people think about it and what could be added, bugs and stuff =P. Will help me keep motivated

Posted: **2002-10-15 02:02:34**

no ideas at all?, does no one like this template? cos I could give up now =( ....

oooh looky next version is gonna have a search feature

Posted: **2002-10-15 07:35:01**

You template is very nice, but since I do not use it personnaly I do not know what you could add

I just tried it a little

Posted: **2002-10-15 08:27:50**

I don't have AMC right here.. So I can't test ur template.. Although I loved ur old template

I modified it a tiny bit last night to fit my needs.. Who knows this new one is even better

Posted: **2002-10-16 16:35:06**

your template is very nice but i when i export it leaves the actors names field blank?
is anyone else getting this?

thx for this nice template Twink!

Posted: **2002-10-16 21:53:39**

I left it blank at the moment due to buggyness, it seems to have problems with some character haven't figured it out yet. Hopefully this will be fixed soon.

Posted: **2002-10-17 00:21:45**

mkay, here's a version where actors has been reenabled for you =).

Some stuff has been moved around again, I apologise if you can't find something I'm trying to find a good place to put things that can be customised.

Also has new Search support, most the time you can just type the title of the movie or partial title, (there does seem to be a bug in this thou). More Advanced searchs can be done using java regular expressions ( http://www.visibone.com/regular-expressions/ )

"E" Searchs for movies that contain E in Title or Description
"^Dog" Searchs for movies that start with Dog (^ = Starts with)
"ma$" Searchs for movies that end with ma ($ = Ends with)
"^Dogma$" = Starts with and ends with Dogma (ie full title)
see URL for better explanation

For those of you having the trouble with quotation marks ruining your fields, Ant's Find and Replace Script helps fixes this. I include it below with the neccessary changes to replace character " with ' but you'll have to set the Field variable for each field you wanna replace (I put the ones I ran it on in the comment above the line 'Field = fieldDescription;')

At the moment I'm trying to add multi-language support to it, so it doesn't have to be released in every language, although I haven't figured out a way to do this yet.

There may be some other small changes in this release, I can't think of anything worth mentioning.

PLEASE NOTE A BETTER REPLACE SCRIPT WAS RELEASED

Code: Select all

// SCRIPTING
// Find & Repace a value in a field
program FindReplace;
const
  OldValue = '"';
  NewValue = chr(39);
 //fieldActors fieldDescription fieldComments
  Field = fieldDescription;
  WholeFieldOnly = False;
begin
  if WholeFieldOnly then
  begin
    if GetField(Field) = OldValue then
      SetField(Field, NewValue);
  end else
  begin
    if Pos(OldValue, GetField(Field)) > 0 then
      SetField(Field, StringReplace(GetField(Field), OldValue, NewValue));
  end;
end.
