Rename / Rearrange Fields?
« on: September 21, 2009, 07:24:01 pm »
Hi everybody

for a few days I've been playing around with this great programme, thanks a lot!

But there are a few things I still didn't get till now - at present I'm wondering
- if I could rename a field (there's no language file, isn't it? A skin wouldn't allow me that... right?)
- if I could influence the arrangement of custom fields
- where the custom fields are stored (I guess in my database...)

Thanks for replies!

You can create custom translations: http://www.videodb.info/forum_en/index.php?topic=763.0
You can also use Skins for the task.

With skins you can position everything the way you like.

Yes, in the database

Thanks doc for this light speed reply!

I kinda thought a skin is the right place for this idea but didn't proceed - I tried
Code: [Select]
<row>
   <column width="120" halign="right">
    <fieldlabel field="mpaa"/>
   </column>
   <column>
<FSK/>
<spacer width="10"/>
   </column>
  </row>
to change MPAA (shouldn't change field labels) to FSK. Guess I was little clumsy ...

It would be like this if you want to use skins (but I would really recommend custom translation...):
Code: [Select]
<row>
   <column width="120" halign="right">
    <label><caption>FSK</caption></label>
   </column>
   <column>
<spacer width="10"/>
   </column>
  </row>
