Hello guys,

Finally i've updated the "Custom"-template in several ways.
The first step was only the shadow for the headers in the detail views and some little changes on the detail view.
Now i've added some new features.

Now you can switch the thumbnail view into a rotating slideshow. (Be careful when you have many films in one group. I've testet it on several browsers. f.e. Firefox have no problem with handle many films in the slideshow. Opera will slow down.) The cover in the center is clickable and opens the detail view of the movie.


And in the Detail view you have a navigation register card, which opens the today added films in a slide out register.


Have fun with that.

P.S. I will implement some other features in future. But it's just a hobby. So please give me time. ;)

Very nice template Mathimid! Great job.

It would be nice to allow the user to stop the scrolling
Perhaps allow either forward or backward scrolling.
Perhaps even some user setting to adjust the scroll speed.

I'll have to incorporate your Carousel scrolling display with my own 'Custom2' Template

Thanks.

To stop the rotating, just click on a cover which is not in the center.
Forward and backward scrolling works the same way. Just click on a picture on left or right side. The carousell will scroll to that picture.
I will try to implement some buttons to control the carousell.

Thanks.
You're right. Now that I've used it some, the controls to stop, go forward or backward work well.

However once you stop the auto scrolling, the only way I've found to restart it is to refresh the screen. Is there another way?

Does anyone know if there is a way to add the field "Video DVD" to an HTML template?

This template would be perfect if one you're in Detail view you could go backward/forward to the next movie. Right now, you have to go back to the home page (with the button of your internet browser) if you wanna go out from the detail view.

'Mathimid', I like your update even better! Therefore, I've added your carousel display to my own 'Custom2' Template. Now the only real difference between the two templates is the Detail Page.

I'll make a few specific suggestions for improvement (your choice to add or not):

Graphical Improvements:
(1) Add a popup Full-Sized Image for the 4 main Actors on the Detail Page. Since you've already written a script to display the covers on the grid page, I'm sure this would be easy for you.

(2) Add a ratings graphic display below the rating number.
<img src="../images/rating/_MOVIE_RATING_.png" width="81" height="8" title="_MOVIE_RATING_/10 Rating">

(3) Add a Movie Seen graphic display
<img id="seenImg" src="../images/SEEN-_MOVIE_SEEN_.png" title="Movie Seen" style="float:left;">

Additional Navigation:
Back one movie
Forward one movie
Ideally this should operate with the filtered (selected) list of movies only. I don't know how to do this but you are better at javascript than me.

Additional Web Links for:
Actor Name (4 Main Actors)
Director Name
Movie Name
Movie Year
Play Movie
Watch Trailer
Goto Weblink

HTML code examples found here in my 'Custom2' Template:
http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12309

There are additional code examples from user diptrot's 'ToneDEF plus' Template:
http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12307

Graphical Bug:
Although it's minor, the 'Carousel' Button partially overlaps some of displayed year filters.

Just to clarify...
I didn't wrote the scripts by myself. I used jquery and GPU licensed plugins for all of that. I'm just an editor not a writer and can tweak the scripts a little. ;) Perhaps it's a motivation for other users to try out, what is possible with the jquery framework and additional plugins for that.
I'm a little busy at the moment. So i don't have much time to work on the template. But i will do, when i have time. I have some interesting ideas for things, that should be possible with jquery. But i need time to try it out and find a way to implement them.
The forward and backward buttons are on top of my to-do-list.

NEW Update available!

I've updated this Template in several things.

Fixes:
- The backgrounds in the thumb-view and grid-view are fixed now, so that they don't scroll.
- Problem fixed: The switcher to switch between thumb- and slideshow-view have sometimes overlapped with the filtered movies.


Main-Changes:
Most of the changes belongs to the detail view. I've also added some features from the ToneDEF-template.

- Whole layout of the detail-view is rearranged.
- Plot and goofs are now switchable over the tabs above the textfield.
- Plot and goofs are set to justify in the field.
- Replaced the backgrouds of the fields. (You don't will see it, but it's done It's to get more contrast for the written words.)
- Feature from ToneDEF: Added the stars under the rating (works with commas and points for the decimal places)
- Feature from ToneDEF: "Next Movie"- and "Previous Movie"-function added. (The arrows on the left and right side are fixed in the view, so that they don't scroll with the content.)
- Added the trailer- and weblink for the movie
- Replaced the written "Home" and "Back" links against pictures.



- The headline became an own background and is fixed on the top of the browser, so that it don't scrolls with the content.
- Feature from ToneDEF: Actor picture will popup on mouseover


Download-Link is the same as before.

Just a small change between...

- I've fixed the cover and the field for external links in the view so that just the rest of the content is scrollable.

Another Great Job Mathimid!

Now I'll have to add some of your improvements to my own version of the 'Custom' HTML Template. At the least, I should add the popup Actor images and graphic navigation buttons.

Since you have added navigation buttons for Previous and Next Movie, I would recommend first renumber your database because any Movie ID gaps(from deleted movies) will confuse your navigation function.

The Plot & Goofs Section scrolls nicely. Is there any way to hide the 'Goofs' Tab Header if a particular movie doesn't have any?

I know about the thing with the gaps in the movieIDs. Should be a tip for every user of templates with these forward/backward-function. "Be sure that there are no gaps in the movieIDs and use the renumbering function in the tool menu to renumber the movies."

Tip for you...In Europe we use Commas instead of Points for the decimal places. If we import a movie with a rating 6,5 instead of 6.5, the rating stars will not shown, because the script doesn't find the relevant picture. Make a copy of the pictures and rename 1.1 - 1.9, 2.1 - 2.9 and so on to 1,1 - 1,9, 2,1 - 2,9 and so on and place this pictures in the same folder with the other rating stars. This software is used all around the world, so we have to be sure that it works correctly on every place on the world. ... Or just copy my rating stars folder.

The thing with the tab is indeed a good point. At the moment sadly not. Because i've used a auto generate function of my html editor for this function. (it generates automatically the tabs and text field.) I'm sure it is possible somehow. I will try, but my skills are bordered.

Mathimid,

I'll add the extra rating images so both 6.5 and 6,5 and other numbers will display the same rating graphic. It still looks a bit strange to me but as you say this is the European convention.


It would be nice if Alessio could add a few additional fields to work with the HTML export so we could add it to the Template:
-Comments
-Trivia
-Movie Connections
These above fields would fit nicely with your tabbed box display

Personally I would like the fields 'Video Features' and 'Subtitles' added also.

Also the CR bug hinders the readability of some of this text display:

I would like to see some new variables for TVShows, too. At least the list of episodes would do it...

In order to achieve what is possible, you have to try the impossible over and over again.

I think in addition to new variables (i hope, we will get some ), it would be optimal to have a second detail template for series file like "_Detail_Series.htm", so we could adapt it for the special needs like guest actors in episodes, artworks for episodes, eventually play links for episodes and so on.

NEW Update available!

- Added a new function which is entirely new, but uses the ToneDEF script as source. ... You can make a guess what will happen, when you click on the cube icon in the header of the page.
- Added in addition to that a browser history forward button


- Small change in view ... The tab for the scroll-out navigation was transparent. This transparency is removed now.

Any time I create a template my index.html file opens to a page with no covers/posters and "Movies: 30(for example) and Filtered: 0" at the top left of the page. But when I click Title: ALL, then the covers show up. Each time I generate a html template from a new database the index.html file shows the correct structure when executed but after some time it revert to the problem I just described above without me changing XMM settings and every single template I attempt to use will replicate the same issue described above. Blank index page until I click on Title: All which then shows all the posters with new values for Filtered: Same as the total number of movies added---> "Movies: 37 Filtered: 37". I wonder if any one else is having this problem and please could some one shed some ideas. Thanks in advance for your support.

By the way I'm using XMM 8.3.0.0
