Hi, just a small question about the buttons and other graphics for the black and the scroll templates, where can I find the code that tells me where to find the buttons etc.

I'd like to try and change some button and graphics to adapt the scroll theme a little bit more and play with the design a little bit if I may get your permission to do so.

I'm not going to publish it but mail it to you for you to see what you want with it, I got no interesses in coding whatever but like to see if this is just like some themes i designed for YaBB (christmas and other themes)
Themes are fully customizable (except formatted data which are <--#...--> tags) under new names : if you've created a new theme or deeply changed an existing one, you can publish it if you want (with your own theme name).
Maybe i will include it in my Thems pack (Pictutres.zip).

How to create a customized theme :
- create a new folder under Pictures\Themes folder
- copy the structure of an existing theme (indian... or scroll...) and customize as you feel, all images are under img\ subfolder (don't forget to update the ThemeThumb.jpg when theme design is finished)
- entre JeF's interface script options file (checked paper icon) and :
    - click edit options file link
    - add your theme name (folder name) at end of the comma separated values list begining with "ThemesList=..." (preceeded with a comma of course ;) )
    - click reload options
- you should then see your new theme and be able to select it
- when customizing, go to scripts settings page and reload theme to see the changes (for left pane, you'll have to click another tab then go back to customized tab, for the changes to get visible)

JeF's interface user guide has been started last year but... lack of time, and pretty much to do elsewhere, isn't ready yet to be published...

In the scroll template I am missing the playing time data for the movie in the shortlist beneath the cover
I've not that issue. Did you download latest script and installed latest pictures.zip ?

Thanks for scroll theme left pane template. Works fine as it is. Included in Theme. Added body tag to IndianBlack : solves the blank line issue ;)
I attached files of v21 beta and left pane theme update (contains the IndianBlack customized grey play button). ;)

Edit : Obsolete files removed

I found why I am missing the playing time in the info beneath the cover.

The reason for that is that it uses the data from the edition tab and not from the general tab (settings).
Normally you would show the movie time here and show the editions time (or episodes) at each edition or episode.

What tag do I need for showing the right duration (movie not edition) so I can change that.


I have played with some thoughts for the scroll as well as the black theme and I attach a screenshot for you to consider, please tell me what you think of it.

Here is a question I've asked before on this forum but I can't find a way to do it, i can't find where to put the links to the logo's.

These adaptions are for all themes, so once implemented in the code it should be usable for every theme you use.

You're absolutely right, fixed in coming v21 (no tag to change : concerned tag was'nt set correctly).
Labels for pictures compartiments have also been added to coming v21. ;)

Sites logos inside description... This means modifying all sites scripts to insert special tags (like [www.site.com] ) in desc at download time. These tags are then to be detected by interface scripts at movie page build time and replaced by the corresponding html code to display logo in place of tag... Maybe interesting but much to do to achieve this...

It can be done much more simple I guess.

Take the IMDB script for example, after fetching the data you put the movie description in the database, just adde a link to the IMDB button/logo on your MN map and get that pic inserted at the top of the textchunk.

This way just the scripts have to be adapted with a mear simple HTML tag, or am I wrong assuming its so simple, it can be done this way though ?

What about reports ? I don't think this would be convinient to have '<a href=...' in printed descriptions...
This is the purpose of the special tag : i believe [www.site.com] text is acceptable in reports. So the interface script has to replace this by the logo... ;)
Imdb script should be taken as example, but what about other scripts : if you want to see the site logo, it's because you download data from multiple internet sources i guess. So people may want to have the same feature when using different sources from the ones you use. So potentially all scripts are concerned...

You're absolutely right, you are, didn't hink of the reports option.

Anyway a line of text telling from where the data comes is okay for me (and then in bold for outstanding visibility makes it superb to my suggestion, but then hey, you're the real pro :mrgreen:
