I tried deleting everything and starting over and now I have 2007. Not sure what was happening, since the database I was using was only 3 weeks old and 2007 should have been in there. Do I have to delete everything and recreate the database every time I add a DVD to my collection? No. I don't know, what went wrong here. Maybe you had an rather old version of the plugin 3 weeks ago, when you created the database? Normally it should only be necessary to create the database once (except for the bug I mentioned above, but that one will be handled with the next version). | | |

Normally it should only be necessary to create the database once (except for the bug I mentioned above, but that one will be handled with the next version). No, I downloaded the file and the plugin the same time about Dec 19 or 20. Anyway, it seems to be working properly now. | | | | "This movie has warped my fragile little mind." |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for the update Tom. Unfortunately there seems to be a problem. Not sure if it is on my end or in the award xml itself. I noticed on the Scream Awards that Everything for 2008 is showing up under nominated and none under won. HERE is the Winners announced From my collection... The Dark Knight Winners:The Ultimate Scream Movie: The Dark Knight Best Comic Book Movie: The Dark Knight Best Sequel: The Dark Knight Best Superhero: Christian Bale as Batman in The Dark Knight Best Villain: Heath Ledger as The Joker in The Dark Knight Best Actor in a Fantasy Movie or TV Show: Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight Best Supporting Performance: Gary Oldman in The Dark Knight The Holy shiitake mushroom! Scene of the Year: The Big Rig Flips Over in The Dark Knight Best Director: Christopher Nolan, The Dark Knight Best Screamplay: The Dark Knight by Christopher Nolan, Jonathan Nolan and David Goyer Best F/X: The Dark Knight Best Line: “I believe whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stranger” by The Joker in The Dark Knight All under nominated... along with the items they were only nominated for. Iron Man Winners:Best Science Fiction Movie: Iron Man Best Actor in a Science Fiction Movie or TV Show: Robert Downey Jr. in Iron Man both under nominated... along with the items they were only nominated for. Halloween Winner:Best Remake is with nominations. It sounds like they were never entered right? I haven't checked the other awards that was added yet. So not sure if they are right or not yet. | | | | Pete |

Mike (who has send me "2008 Annie Awards" today),
when you read this, please contact me.
The attachment did not get through correctly, and your return email address does not work. I am also unsure about your Profiler user name, so I couldn't contact you via PM. Sorry it didn't go through, been having a bit of trouble with my provider today. Will re-send it to you. | | | We're on a mission from God.

| | Posted: | | | | I am working on some features which have sitting on my ToDo list for awhile (and why this plugin is called Cinematic Collection Viewer Plugin and not simply Awards plugin). One feature is the possibility to transfer profile data directly to the Viewer database (without having to do an XML export and import). This is already finished. Now I am working on the possibility to view and edit the additional infos available in the viewer database. I am finished with an HTML window like Info-Window. But here is, where I'll need some support. My plan is, that the HTML used for this window is customizeable. But I want to include a default layout, which is pleasing. But I am no expert in HTML. The infos will be available as an JavaScript Array similar to the ones used in Profiler's Header Vars. This is a HTML example which uses a simple HTML table. If there is noone helping me with this, it will probably look like this in the final version  Quote:
<html>
<head>
<script language="javascript">
function CCV_Info(infoName, infoValue, infoType)
{
this.infoName = infoName;
this.infoValue = infoValue;
this.infoType = infoType;
}
var CCV_Infos = new Array(6);
CCV_Infos[0] = new CCV_Info("IMDb", "tt0327084", "");
CCV_Infos[1] = new CCV_Info("MyRating", "4", "");
CCV_Infos[2] = new CCV_Info("MyReview", "Great movie with great animation! With fun characters voiced by an all-star cast which is put into good use. William Shatner as an opossum who over-dramatically fakes his own deaths is great. I love how Shatner has embraced parodying himself the last 10 years or so. Steve Carell is also great as the voice of Hammy. \r\n\r\nhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BE77igZczlI", "");
CCV_Infos[3] = new CCV_Info("RatingAge", "1", "");
CCV_Infos[4] = new CCV_Info("RatingVariant", "0", "");
CCV_Infos[5] = new CCV_Info("Wikipedia", "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Over_the_Hedge_(film)", "Link");
</script>
</head>
<body>
<table border="1">
<script language="javascript">
for (CCVinfo in CCV_Infos)
{
infoName=CCV_Infos[CCVinfo].infoName;
if (infoName!="RatingVariant" && infoName!="RatingAge")
{
infoValue=CCV_Infos[CCVinfo].infoValue;
infoValue=infoValue.replace(/\r\n/g, "<br/>");
if (infoName=="IMDb")
{
infoValue="<a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/"+infoValue+"/\" target=\"_blank\">IMDb</a>"
}
if (CCV_Infos[CCVinfo].infoType=="Link")
{
infoValue="<a href=\""+infoValue+"\" target=\"_blank\">"+infoName+"</a>"
}
document.write('<tr><th align="left">'+infoName+'</th><th align="left">'+infoValue+'</th></tr>\n');
}
}
</script>
</table>
</body>
</html>
The placeholder for the header looks like this: Quote:
<head>
<script language="javascript">
<CCV Name="AdditionalInfos">
</script>
</head>
<CCV Name="AdditionalInfos"> will be replaced with the JavaScript array above during runtime. So is anybody interested to help out? | | |

| | Posted: | | | | I've noticed that a few films were not showing the corresponding awards that are listed in the XML file. Fellini's 8 1/2, Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove and Mazursky's Harry & Tonto. I was able to get Harry & Tonto to show after changing the title from Harry & Tonto to Harry and Tonto, which matches the listing in the XML. But I couldn't get the other two to work. Any clues as to why they wouldn't be listing properly? |

| | Posted: | | | | well, Strangelove is one of the worst cases because everyone writes it different
Dr. Strangelove - Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove: Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove: Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove - Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove Or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
Dr. Strangelove Or How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb
I think the title screen actually uses the dash in front of Or but that's not the variant you usually see online :/ I'm not sure if the XMLs currently allow multiple titles that would allow fixing this...
I think the plug-in uses the original title so 8 1/2 might need it's original title "Otto e mezzo". | | | | - Jan |

| | Posted: | | | | I've never used XML files before, how do you edit them? Do you need a special program? I'd be willing to fix them, plus the others I've just found that don't work either. | | | | Last edited: by Antares |
