Print Page - Skin help needed

So, I'm using my own skin, and want to include in it all possible data. I have included also custom fields IMDB_Series-year and Seasons-Episodes.

This is the code I used:

Code: [Select]

<row>
                      <column space="0" halign="center" valign="top">IMDB Series Year &amp; Number of Episodes/Seasons:
					  <label>
                          <font>
                            <italic/>
                            <bold/>
                          </font>
                          <caption>***</caption>
                        </label>

But no matter what I do, I get it left aligned as in the screenshot below:

Can someone help me how to get this centered on the page as I faked it in the screenshot below:

Thank you in advance

For easier help, attach your skin. This title " IMDB Series Year & amp; Number of Episodes / Seasons: " should be visible or invisible. Then I may be able to solve the problem.

Here is my skin. Thank you very much in advance

Thanks for the skin, it is very useful. This also made it easier for me to find a solution.

You are replacing this piece of code

Quote

<column space="0" halign="center" valign="top">IMDB Series Year & Number of Episodes/Seasons:
<label>

with that piece of code

Quote

<column space="0" halign="right" valign="top">IMDB Series Year & Number of Episodes/Seasons:
<label>

and it should be the way you want it.

Thanks for the fast response, but unfortunately, that didn't do the trick. I tried all alignments without success. As I understand, the problem is to move the content of the column to the center or right, and not the column itself. In the screenshot below, I have edited record, and before that put "right" alignment both on the column and on the Sreies_Year field, but it's still left aligned. Note in the code that I put autosize to "true" in order this to be visible.

(https://images2.imgbox.com/c4/62/wwkOWSbt_o.png)

Code: [Select]

<column space="0" halign="right" autosize="true" valign="top">IMDB Series Year &amp; Number of Episodes/Seasons:
					  <label>
                          <font>
                            <italic/>
                            <bold/>
                          </font>
                          <caption>***</caption>
                        </label>
						<spacer width="2"/><label>
                          <font>
                            <italic/>
                            <bold/>
                          </font>
                            <color>$003399</color>
                          </label><custom halign="right" field="IMDB_Series-year" />

If I could, at least, put some kind of spacer in front of the column which would move it to the center, but that also didn't work for me...

How about this.

Quote

<column space="0" halign="left" autosize="true" valign="top">IMDB Series Year & Number of Episodes/Seasons:
<label>

<italic/>
<bold/>

<caption> ***</caption>
</label>
<spacer width="2"/><label>

<italic/>
<bold/>

<color>$003399</color>
</label><custom halign="right" field="IMDB_Series-year" />

If you want even more right in the skin, then add even more space between the <caption> and the ***</caption> .

Thanks, but my thinking wasn't right so I mislead you with getting ideas. That trick would do the thing, but only for one combination of content of both fields. Spacing " *****" is still left aligned and will not center different number of seasons and episodes... Obviously, genuine "center" column position is the only solution, if viable at all, the one that will "push" content of both fields to the left and to the right in order to preserve centering...

In my opinion, this is the best solution for you.

At "IMDB_Series-year", I corrected so that the full record of when an episode was scheduled is now visible.

Thank you Ivek. This was very useful and I'll keep experimenting.

Hello! Is it possible to change the color of the list font found in Preferences->Appereance as well as awards tree in the skin? If it is possible, I guess it has to be done via pvconfig.ini, but I don't know how.

Yes, you can change the colors there. Here is one option for a change in the skin.

Unfortunately I don't have the right answer to this, but I don't think a change is possible in pvconfig.ini .

Thanks Ivek! It work flawlessly!

Regarding movie list in the tree on the left, you think the font can only be black when not selected, or white when selected?

Exactly as already said.

Thanks for clarification!

Still, I need help. When <title> is equal to <origtitle>, origtitle becomes invisible in the skin. Is there a way to force origtitle to be visible in the skin anyway?

I have created custom field 'Origtitle' and put

Code: [Select]

AddCustomFieldValueByName('Origtitle',ItemValue); in the IMDB_[EN][HTTPS].psf, but if forcing visibilty of origtitle is not possible, may I kindly ask yo to include 'Origtitle' as official custom field in the skin?

It's not a problem for me to manully paste the code line above on every script update, but the problem will be that, when the script update happens, I will for sure forget "why now Original Title is not imported?" and that I have to paste that line, hahahaha.

Thanks in advance.

P.S. I have resolved centering. I put everything in one column, and put spacer with appropriate width in front of the first item in the column:

Quote

<column space="10" halign="center" wordwrap="true">Custom Original Title label and Custom Original Title
 <spacer width="80"/>
 <label autosize="true">Original Title
<italic/>
<bold/>
<caption>Original Title:</caption></label>
 <custom field="Origtitle" autosize="true">Custom Original Title
 
 <size>11</size>
 <color>$FF9900</color>
 
 </custom>
 <label autosize="true">Localized title label
<italic/>
<bold/>
<caption>Localized Title:</caption></label>
 <title autosize="true">Localized title
 
 <size>11</size>
 <color>$FF9900</color>
 
 </title>
 </column>

Thanks for inspiring!

It looks like fields containing URLs cannot be centered.

In the following example, I applied exactly the same formatting as in the code above, but in this case one field is linkified - "Director" field. Both codes, the code above and the following code, are presented in the screenshots of the skin (Original title and Title in one row, and Director in the row below it)

Quote

<column space="10" halign="center" wordwrap="true">Director(s) label and Director(s)
 <spacer width="80"/>
 <label autosize="true">Director(s) label
 
<italic/>
<bold/>

 <caption>Director(s):</caption>
 </label>
 <human category="1" autosize="true">Director
 </human>
 </column>

And the result is absolutely different.

and here how edited skin looks like:

Am I doing something wrong, or this is the fact, by design? Can someone confirm please?

If <title> and <origtitle> have the same movie title, then the origtitle normal field is by no means visible. It is only possible in a custom box where it is always visible.

Attach the skin you are editing now for easier help so I can see and then respond more easily.

By the way, at this link you have more information for skins.

http://www.videodb.info/help/hlp_skins.html

Thanks Ivek. Of course I consult that link but no troubleshooting there. Here's the skin, lines 68-112. Skin is not finished, I just started to make it, basically, nothing after line 112 is finished

Thanks for the skin. I will look at it and test it, then help and answers will be easier. Maybe I'll know more tomorrow and maybe there will be some solution in sight, we'll see.

Thanks a llot Ivek! "Wordwrap" seems to work only for labels, not for other fields, so we are pretty limited with that... So if I have a movie with the long title, for example, "Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond - Featuring a Very Special, Contractually Obligated Mention of Tony Clifton"
theres no way it's title to be seen in the skin in whole with the font size bigger than 14 or so because of the single line field... Who would say about such a strange limitation...

It looks different field types react different against same attribute. For example, 'Title' (simple edit) and 'human' (link memo) fields don't respond same on halign="center", or autosize="true", etc...

Here, Title (It's custom Title from AMG script) is "short text" field with additional Year field:

Quote

<row>
 <column space="0" halign="left" autosize="true" wordwrap="true">List number<spacer width="8"/><num width="92">Ordinal number
 
<size>24</size>
<color>$FDD017</color>
</num></column>
<column space="0" halign="center" wordwrap="true" width="100%">Custom (English) Movie Title with year
 <custom field="Title" autosize="true">Custom Title
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 </custom>
 <label autosize="true">Left Bracket label
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 <caption> (</caption>
 </label>
 <year autosize="true">Year
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 </year>
 <label autosize="true">Right Bracket label
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 <caption>)</caption></label>
 </column>
</row>

and the result is:

(https://i.imgur.com/L4HS18D.png)

Now, exactly the same formatting, but Title is "memo" field (It's custom Title1 from AMG script which contains year by design) again with additional Year field:

Quote

<row>
 <column space="0" halign="left" autosize="true" wordwrap="true">List number
 <spacer width="8"/>
 <num width="92">Ordinal number
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 </num>
 </column>
 <column space="0" halign="center" wordwrap="true" width="100%">Custom (English) Movie Title with year
 <custom field="Title1" autosize="true" collapsedlines="3">Custom Title
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 </custom>
 <label autosize="true">Left Bracket label
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 <caption> (</caption>
 </label>
 <year autosize="true">Year
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 </year>
 <label autosize="true">Right Bracket label
 
 <size>24</size>
 <color>$FDD017</color>
 
 <caption>)</caption>
 </label>
 <spacer width="10"/>
 </column>
 </row>

but the result is surprisingly (and frustrating) different:

The following custom fields can be added to the IMDB_ [EN] [HTTPS] script.

Origtitle, Title and Localized title custom box.

Some things cannot be done to our liking.

I am attaching a PVD IMDb Conservative AllPhoto Full HD v2 - Dark_MOD zip file with two mod fixes to your Dark Theme skin and two skin test with colors and certain blank skin codes for any skin editing help.

By the way, another piece of advice that you might add somewhere from the tests of the skin so that certain fields will not be visible if they are empty.

Thanks Ivek. I sincerely appreciate your help and your time. I'm getting "\warning.php" while trying to donload skin. Never mind. Don't bother yourself anymore. I'll adjust my ideas to my competeneces and PVD design possibilities.
Best regards

If I can help you make the poza easier to your liking, why not. What I mentioned around the blank fields of vision was just my suggestion of how I would do it. On the other hand, you are also right to do something to your taste and desires. I hope you manage to make the skin the way you want to have it, but you can also share it with others if you naturally want to and maybe give them inspiration to create their own skin.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything wrong with the suggestions.

We are imensely grateful you are always, but always there for us, and I just don't want to turn out that it looks like I misuse your good will. We have to spare you and your time for more important things regarding PVD, and that is why I wrote that I won't bother you anymore.

Can't emphesize enough how we depend on you!
