| | Posted: | | | | Is it possible to make a HTML window to house a link to a file on my pc? I currently do this with <A HREF="F:\TRAILERS\napoleon_dynamite_m480.mov">Play Trailer</A> in the notes but I would rather have a HTML window that could be made smaller. |

| | Posted: | | | | I guess what I'm wondering is how can I get the html window to read the path from the notes section and then make a link out of that. |

| | Posted: | | | | Take a look at either the Tagline, Wikipedia or IMDb threads, they should tell you how to extract your code from the notes. Then it's only a matter of placing it at the right place in the html code. |

| | Posted: | | | | Not sure if this is what you're after, but try this code: <HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript"> <!-- <DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False"> //--> </SCRIPT> </HEAD> <BODY> <script> var sint = DP_Notes.indexOf('<A HREF=') if (sint == -1){ var link = ''} else { link = DP_Notes.substring(sint, DP_Notes.indexOf('</A>', sint)); } document.write(link) </script> </BODY> </HTML> See if that does what you want it to do. | | | | Last edited: by northbloke |

| | Posted: | | | | That works nicely, cheers. Just one small problem. The bit of code at the end now also contains the link. Quote:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<style type="text/css">
<!--
* { color: black; font-family: verdana; font-size: 9pt; }
html, body { margin: 0; padding: 0; background-color: rgb(255, 204, 102); }
body { background-repeat: repeat-x; background-image:url($DPIMAGES.bgimage.jpg); }
.title { font-size: 12pt; font-weight: bold; margin-top: 15pt; margin-bottom: 15pt; width: 100%; text-align: center; }
.images { padding: 5; }
span { margin: 5; background-color: black; border-width: 5px; border-style: double; }
span.off { border-color: gray; }
span.on { border-color: white; }
img { cursor: hand; }
-->
</style>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="false">
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<DP NAME="LAYERS" Dual="** DUAL LAYER **" Single="">
<BR><BR>
<B><DP NAME="TITLE"></B>
<BR><BR>
<DP NAME="PURCHDATE" Prefix="Added- ">
<BR><BR>
<DP NAME="DISCS" SubDivider=" - " ShowDescriptions="true" Divider="<BR><BR>" ShowSlots="true" ShowLocations="true">
<BR><BR>
<script>
var sint = DP_Notes.indexOf('<A HREF=')
if (sint == -1){
var link = ''}
else {
link = DP_Notes.substring(sint, DP_Notes.indexOf('</A>', sint));
}
document.write(link)
</script>
<BR><BR>
<script language="JavaScript">
last_watch_on = "<DP NAME="LAST_WATCHED_ON">";
if ( last_watch_on.length != 0 ){
document.write("Last watched: " + last_watch_on);
}
</script>
</BODY>
</HTML> Also is it possible to make the link with a collection number? So I could name all the trailers the collection number then there would be no need for anything in notes at all. Or would the fact that there isnt a default path be a problem? Most trailers are in 'F:\trailers' but some are in a subfolder of their own (video_ts) as they are ripped from dvd. |

| | Posted: | | | | You could change the code to go by collection number instead so it didn't have to check notes, but not having all your trailers in one place would be a big problem! Using this code instead: <script> link = "F:\\Trailers\\" + DP_CollectionNumber + ".mov" document.write("<A href=" + link + ">Play Trailer</a>") </script> Will create a link to the Trailers folder using the collection number as the name of the movie file. But all trailers will have to be in the same place. |

| | Posted: | | | | cheers will give that a go. Cant help the trailers being in a different place I'm afraid. They wont play if not in their own folder.
Would it not be possible to have 2 lots of code, 1 for the normal .mov trailers all in 'f:\trailers' then another for the dvd trailers. The latter would be 'f:\trailers\coll#\video_ts.ifo? And use a tag to determine which code to use? | | | | Last edited: by MarEll |

| | Posted: | | | | How do I use a tag as a condition in a HTML window? I think once I know this I could do a fair bit of what I want myself.
Edit: OK I no longer need to keep the trailers in different locations. I just need to use the tags to determine what the file extension is. | | | | Last edited: by MarEll |

The fully qualified tags for the current profile are in the DP_Tags array, provided you use HEADER_VARS. So you have to check the array for the tags that indicate your condition, e.g. var i; for (i = 0; i < DP_Tags.length; i++) { switch (DP_Tags[i]) { case "mysupertag/mysubtag1": // Do something break; case "mysupertag/mysubtag2": // Do something else break; case "mysupertag/mysubtag3": // Do something different break; } } | | | | Matthias |

| | Posted: | | | | How do I use that though? I tried it like this (I know its not right but..) var i; for (i = 0; i < DP_Tags.length; i++) { switch (DP_Tags[i]) { case "ztrailer/WMV": <script> link = "F:\\Trailers\\" + DP_CollectionNumber + ".wmv" document.write("<A href=" + link + ">Play Trailer</a>") </script> break; case "ztrailer/MOV": <script> link = "F:\\Trailers\\" + DP_CollectionNumber + ".mov" document.write("<A href=" + link + ">Play Trailer</a>") </script> break; case "ztrailer/VOB": <script> link = "F:\\Trailers\\" + DP_CollectionNumber + "vob" document.write("<A href=" + link + ">Play Trailer</a>") </script> break; } } | | | | Last edited: by MarEll |

Gotta say I'm veru happy with it now. Do you think this could be made to work if a film had multiple trailers? Not terribly important tho. Thanks for everyones help  | | | | Last edited: by MarEll |
