Hehe, I'm just trying to make it work...

Speaking of which... the image sequence would initially have to be... well in sequence... would that be sufficient? or do I have to code for image name jumping, like: 03, 06, 04?
Personally, I would go with sequence rather than the later.

Holding of coding for a spell...

Over...

I would stick with sequential order... it wouldn't be hard to name them as needed.

Or do you think it would be easier to code if we adopted a new order numbering... something like....

g1.00.jpg = Gallery 1 Image 00
g1.01.jpg = Gallery 1 Image 01

g2.00.jpg = Gallery 2 Image 00
g2.01.jpg = Gallery 2 Image 01

what do you think?

I like this idea of sub-galleries!

As for the notes, it may be too late, I would think I would've used something like

<gallery=[#ofgalleries];[captiongall1][#pic];[captiongal2][#pic] .... >

And then, number the files like Pete suggested :

g1.00.jpg
g1.01.jpg

g2.00.jpg
g2.01.jpg

It takes longer to set up and name the files, but if you're willing to go multi-sub-galleries, I'm guessing one wouldn't mind taking a little longer to actually name the files.

Now, if only FredLooks could integrate support for these (I mean our little HTML windows, not just this one) into phpdvdprofiler

Yeah, I've been struggling a little with that. The issues include:

How do the HTML windows propagate? By this I mean: are they distributed in the phpDVDProfiler package? Or maybe some mechanism whereby you modify your phpDVDProfiler configuration to reference some HTML files, and then are responsible for getting them onto your server and named properly, etc.

How are the HTML windows to be displayed? The windows program has a fairly extensive (one could say even elaborate) set of mechanisms for manipulating the HTML windows, allowing docking with other windows, providing tabs with identifying names, etc. It would be easy to make phpDVDProfiler throw up new windows for each HTML window, but I expect that wouldn't be as satisfying as one would like. And the infrastructure for a windowing system of a similar nature to the windows program is pretty extensive...

I just realised, that if all of these windows are controlled from tags in the notes then one could add a parameter to the tags, like filename=xxx.html, and then you could have per-profile windows (assuming we figure out how to display them at all )

Well, the windows themselves being HTML code with JavaScript, you could have a folder full of HTML files which are the different windows, and tell phpDVDProfiler where they are.

Since not everybody use the same windows, I don't know how that could be handled. One thing that comes to mind is that most windows will either use the Header_Vars through JavaScript, or the <DP Name> tags in HTML. There would probably need to have some sort of mechanism to treat those dynamically.

My preference, if this would be added, is to have clickable tabs at the top on the main detail page. Kind of like how Mithirandir's divided the information among different tabs in his skin. So you'd have the first tab be the usual main detail of phpDVDProfiler, and then the different HTML window next to it, showing or not whether  they are set or not in the notes of the profile being shown.

Yeah, that would work too. If we take the Gallery for example, the tag we use is <gallery=#>, maybe we could just use the part before the = to name the file, so the HTML file it would look for is Gallery.html (prevents having to add even more data to the notes).

Hmmm.. Just thought of the episode guide.. This one would be a tough cookie. There's so many options in there (by upc, by upc with locality, define the epg name in the notes, etc.) 

It's really frustrating that I don't know anything about PHP..    I'm shooting out stuff and ideas, but I have no idea how difficult or if it's even possible to implement..

I would suggest a naming scheme along the lines of....

Movie Posters: = mp-00.jpg, etc

Promotional Photos: = promo-00.jpg, etc.

Production Photos: = prod-00.jpg, etc.

Screen Caps: = sc-00.jpg, etc


For episodes of TV Shows = ep01-00.jpg; ep02.00.jpg


Easier to tell when browsing folders what images are for what sub-category

Just to let you guys know this is still on the table (for me), but as it turns out, I'm somewhat pressed for time.

I was thinking about the Video Viewer and how it was done, maybe the GV could be done in the same way (with the two dimensional array), then specify the differences between profiles in the notes section.
This way I wouldn't have to hard code the captions or the prefix's, but rather open to the user to specify.
Also, it must still be possible to only specify the Tag line <gallery=#> in notes + some people might not want to rename their files.

If you'd like to take a crack at it, then please go right ahead
I'll merge your stuff into the GV when time allows.

There are programs out there that batch rename files. I would not suggest the naming scheme otherwise.

It just seems to be the simplest solution.

Hello to everyone.

I just saw this today after adding some large posters to my gallery, that after I click on it the photos don't appear as they should, they are cut off. Does this append to any one else? or do we have to change the height or width?

I haven't seen this problem myself... but no... you shouldn't need to adjust the hight and width... it should automatically fix itself to the right size. Not sure what the problem is you are having.

Hello all

Fistly...many thanks Xyrano for an excellent feature...I've been waiting for something like this!! I've managed to get it all up and running...and now have a very nice collection of movie posters!

However, I'm having problems getting it to work with Disc IDs.

I've named the folders by the Disc ID leaving out the '-', but it's not working.

What am I doing wrong? Should I be giving them a different name?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

There should be an 'I' before the UPC! Like so: I408431F5B5069A25.html

xyrano...
ever look at getting sections in the gallery like we talked about... you know like... have it broken up in something like...

Movie Posters:
All poster images

Screen Caps:
All Screen Cap images

Production Photos:
All Production images

Sorry... had to ask! 

EDIT:
This would also work good for episode images for TV Series! 
Pete
