Hi there.
« on: May 24, 2010, 08:05:37 PM »
Thought I'd jump on board here.   :)  Looks amazing and I love the reviews archive. I too write reviews although I can't say I go into as much detail (production notes, cast info etc) but if that's the standard here I will try my best before posting any of my own. I'm also overwhelmed with the sheer amount of posting options listed above here! Should be fun exploring them.

Glad to see so many familiar faces.  :thumbup:

The cast & crew info is easy if you use Tom's BB Code Creator...

Just create a HTML window for this code, and when you click on the DVD in your collection, it creates the BB code with all the info. :thumbup:

Neato! Is that a DVD Profiler plugin or something to be found here within the forum?

Sorry, I'm not off to a great start here with all my newbie questions. I looked on Invelos and can't find that particular plugin listed. Is this a Tom Gaines plugin? I've checked out his website and can't find a BB Code plugin there either...

A small correction to the above code. The code above looks like it wouldn't show the cover images. What follows is the template I am using, stripped of the CCViewer specific stuff like awards and Wikipedia link.


Code: [Select]
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<script language="JavaScript">
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS">
</script>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
document.write('[img]http://www.invelos.com/mpimages/' + DP_UPC.substring(0,2) + '/' + DP_UPC + 'f.jpg[/img]' );</script>
<br/><br/>
[b]Title:[/b]<DP NAME="ORIGINAL_TITLE">
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
if (DP_MediaTypeBluRay) { document.write('[img]http://www.invelos.com/images/BluRayLogo.png[/img]') }
if (DP_MediaTypeDVD) { document.write('[img]http://www.invelos.com/images/DVDLogo.png[/img]') }</script>
<br/>
[b]Year:[/b] <DP NAME="PRODYEAR"><br/>
[b]Director:[/b] <DP NAME="CREW_DIRECTION"><br/>
[b]Rating:[/b] <DP NAME="RATING"><br/>
[b]Length:[/b] <DP NAME="RUNTIME" TotalInMins="TRUE"> Min. <br/>
[b]Video:[/b] <DP NAME="VIDFORMATS" Ratios="YES"><br/>

I think Antares meant my Trading Poster TG plugin. But even though it has the possibility to generate custom code (e.g. for use in the WhatYaGot thread), the syntax is different to the above example.
These examples are for the HTML windows in DVD Profiler (View->HTML Windows).
