Yes. I will change that as soon as Nostra has implemented the variables necessary.

I managed to add support for hyperlink types "Title" and "Original Title" now (to templates "HTML Frames" and "HTML List"). So supported hyperlink types now are "ID" (= mid = "Database Record ID", see here!), "URL", "Title" and "Original Title".

I added a new feature to the "HTML Frames" template:
You can choose now wether you want to see all exported entries or only the newest ones. If you export your database to share it with friends: now it is easier for them to keep track of new additions, even if you export your whole database.

Hi,

I'm new at this.

I would like to print out a list (summary) of all the childeren DVD's (I assigned a category "kids" to those movies).  I would like to print the poster too, as my children can not read yet.

How do I go about to do this?  The HTML-stuff looks a bit complicated....

svenne:
Ok, that should be an easy task, but if anything stays unclear, feel free to ask...
So here we go:

1) Do a search for "kids" in "Category":

In Personal Video Database click on the button next to "Search" that says "Title + Original Title + Aka" and change it to "Category" (it is somewhwere in the lower part of the long, long list you will see).

Enter your search term ("kids") into the "Search:"-field

All movies that do not fit the search term will be invisible now. (You can undo/reset your search later by clicking onto the curled green arrow next to the search field)

2) After doing the search, choose "HTML print layout" from the "Export"-menu... and you're (almost) done.

3) Just in case: If you want to have bigger posters, edit the file "main.css" (in subfolder htmlprintfiles\css\ in the folder you exported to) with Notepad. You will see the following code quite at the top of this file:


--- Code: ---div.poster
{
  max-width:170pt;
  float:right;
  clear:both;
  padding:0.3em;
  margin:1em;
  border:1px dotted black;
}

--- End code ---

Change "max-width:170pt;" to "max-width:250pt;", save main.css and reload the exported HTML-file in your browser: now posters should be almost half the page wide (if the original poster images are big enough, cause small images won't be enlarged)...

4) Print the exported list with your browser's print feature.

And something was wrong with the ZIP-Archive containing the HTML print layout template. Stylesheets were missing...  :-[

So these are the newest and complete versions:
