| | Posted: | | | | While editing some profile and trying to get more confirmation for some data, I found myself visiting Wikipedia more and more. Also, I found the articles on movies and TV series to be quite interesting, so I thought, why not load it right into Profiler! So I did. Here's the code: Quote:
see further down for the code
Installation (same as other HTML Windows): - On the menu: HTML Windows -> Edit... - Right-click left pane -> New... and give it a name (I called mine: Wikipedia) - Replace the code that's already there with the one in the blockquote above. - Click OK. Then go to menu: HTML Windows -> Wikipedia to show it. Usage: You need to add a tag to your notes, and add the part that comes after the "/wiki/" part on the Wikipedia page. For example, Voltron. The link to the Voltron page on Wikipedia is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoltronSo, you'll want to add <wiki>Voltron</wiki> to your notes. Giving credit where credit is due: Thank you to the original creator of the IMDb page loader, which I have HEAVILY used for this  Feel free to modify it any way you wish, but it'd be nice if you posted your changes back here  | | | | Last edited: by RossRoy |

| | Posted: | | | | I've already changed it. Now, instead of requiring the <wiki> tag to be set, it checks if it's present. If it's not, it tries loading the Wikipedia page using the title (haven't worked out how to make it use the original title field, instead of the title when set). If the tag is present, it'll load using whatever you set as the tag. Here's the new version. Quote:
Keep going, it's still a little further down...
You'll know whether it loads the right page or not on Wikipedia if the pages says there's no article with the exact title, or, if you get a page on a different subject. For example, "Déjà Vu" brings up the page explaining what a Déjà Vu is, instead of the movie profile. In that case, you'd have to set the <wiki> tag to "Déjà Vu (film)" to make it go to the right page. | | | | Last edited: by RossRoy |

| | Posted: | | | | I guess there would only have to be another IF statement, checking whether DP_OriginalTitle is empty ("") or not. IF empty, then use Original Title, ELSE Could look something like this(...?): Quote:
if (wikiEnd > 1) {
var wikiCode = DP_Notes.slice(wikiStart, wikiEnd);
var wikiLink = ("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" + wikiCode);
window.location.href = wikiLink;
}
else {
if (DP_OriginalTtile == "") {
wikiLink = ("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" + DP_Title);
window.location.href = wikiLink;
}
else {
wikiLink = ("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/" + DP_OriginalTitle);
window.location.href = wikiLink;
}
}
I haven't tested this, so maybe someone who knows might have to take a look at it first... Also, I think the line window.location.href = wikiLink; could be moved to the end somehow, so it doesn't get repeated several times and is instead used universally for all cases... | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks for that ya_shin! Here's the updated code, with Ya_Shin's typo fixed (You misspelled DP_OriginalTitle in your IF statement), and only 1 window.location.href statement. Quote:

| | Posted: | | | | Is there a way to define the size of the window that opens? Every time I open DVD Profiler, the HTML windows are small so I have to resize them. It would be nice if they either remembered their size or you could define it in the code.

I think a typo at 2:00am is acceptable. ...and I asked for someone who actually knows what they are doing to proof read it... Looks really nice and clean now, Ross. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

/Mikkel Yes there is. A link in the HTML window could do that. But that may not be what you want!? As for resizing a HTML window in the layout from javascript, no I don't think it's possible. This is a nice little add-on to our HTML window ballpark  |

/Mikkel what window? I just have this as al extra tab on an existing set of windows so when I select the wiki set then it opens in the existing space used by covers/gallery/cast..  | | | | Paul |

Good idea! Now, is there a way to hack it so it removes the menu strip on the left, to save some space? | | | | DVD Profiler på Dansk |

Nah! Helps me actually, seeing a master of JavaScript at work. Quote:
html, body { background-color: rgb(0, 0, 83); }
body { background-repeat: repeat-x; background-image:url($DPIMAGES.bgimage.jpg); }
You seem to like my little gradient, I've seen you add it to a few of your Windows  Quote:
wikiCode = (DP_OriginalTitle == "") ? DP_Title: DP_OriginalTitle;
So that's how to do it! I want to avoid the extra if statement, but I couldn't get this shorthand version to work when I tried it. Time to change my script too! Thanks for again improving upon it! |
