I really like to make mine worked... but I just can't.
Can anyone post a sort of walk trough?
Damn! this is so confusing to me!
Thanks.

Looks like your approach from the old thread wasn't futile in the end...
Nice work, but perhaps you should put all options in one block and write a readme.txt for all the different possibilities.

Yes, it sure looks like it
Thank you! ...and thanks for suggesting the block and readme.txt approach.
Yes, I think I'll do the block suggestion but I must do something more than a readme, to simplify more for people that are not familiar with javascript.
I am planning a webpage thingy with screen shots, explaining how to configure it and showing every possible thing it can do. I'll let you guys know when its up.

I'm using it! 
It's great to actually be able to find out what each episode is about.
Thanks, the tutorial is very good too.

Xyrano:

I have a question. I just "installed" the new EPGL, looking good so far.

I just have 1 issue I'm hoping you can help me fix.

I can't seem to find a way to get the links footer to always be active, even if the EPGL/Links is not set (as I don't use tags).

Yes, there is!

Here is what you do.
Set useFooterTagName to an empty string and useTheFooter to true.
Like so:
Quote:
var useFooterTagName = ""; // <-- SET
var useTheFooter = true; // <-- SET true/false



Hm, looks like I've missed explaining how to set this up in the tutorial, thanks for the reminder, RossRoy!
...and where is the god damn :smackselfonforeheadsmiley: when you need one, hu!?

I hope you don't mind but I've added a few lines of code to mine that checks for "Television" genre, and if it doesn't find it then it doesn't show the footer.

I added this to the configuration block:

Quote:
// Check for TV Genre
var TVFound = false;
for (var i = 0;  i < DP_Genres.length;  i++) {
if (DP_Genres[i] == "Television") {
TVFound = true;
break;
}
}


and this to the Footer 1.2 section:

Quote:
if (TVFound == false) useTheFooter = false;


Just above the code that checks the value of useTheFooter.

Thought I might share it and see if other people liked it.

I also added this line to the same Footer 1.2 section to hide the footer if an episode guide already exists, but it only works for Notes (what I use):

Quote:
if (useNotes == true && DP_Notes.indexOf("<epg=1>") != -1) useTheFooter = false;

No, not at all. It's a good idea!
Personally, I would have gone with hiding it when there is a EPG and show it when there is 'Television' in Genre field, and I would also have keept the tag option, so I could control the visibility of it regardless of whats in the genre field.

I tried getting it to hide when an EPG is showing, but I couldn't get it to work, so I just get it to recheck the Notes section instead! 
And I'm not a big user of tags so didn't want to try writing code for that and totally screw it up!

Is there something special to change if I use disc id instead of upc.  I get upc to show, but, not using disc id.
