| | Posted: | | | | I'm curious how many people actually use HTML windows in their Layouts.
I currently use 5 windows (and will hopefully get a 6th with some help from members here).
I use:
Trailers
Last Watched
Overview HTML
Tagline
Total Film Review (my fave movie mag - in which I type their reviews).
I know some people have links to others sites like Wikipedia and IMDB....but, I'm curious to what else is 'out there'. |

| | Posted: | | | | Features+
Compact display of features, video, audio, subtitles. Replaces the four regular windows that hold these informations.
Cast+, Crew+
Compact display of episode credits. Used in addition to the regular cast and crew windows.
Notes+
Advanced notes display and editing, together with info links pulled from a secondary database. Replaces the regular Notes window.
Watched
Detailed DVD content list with associated watched dates, ratings, comments, also pulled from a secondary database.
Links
Title based search on various websites and price finder engines.
SourceSafe
Version control system for profiles and covers.
Audit
Audit infos, also pulled from a secondary database.
EDIT:
And, of course, Profile Comparison Plus. But that's not really part of the main layout. | | | | Matthias | | | | Last edited: by goodguy |

A special purpose window that generates BBCode to post reviews on a forum
A quick window to show at a glance the fields I like to have locked on all my profiles. |

Looks like this (on the laptop at least):  @hydr0x Do you want a trailer window embedded into a html window or would you settle for a link to the trailer? |

Although I have seen HTML windows before I never use them because I don't know what they are or what they do! That's where I was a few months ago. An HTML virgin! Basically, in simple terms, an HTML windows allows you to have a customized set of data and a 'look' you want. For example I wanted to have a way of showing the tagline for a film, eg Alien: "In Space No One Can Hear You Scream". Someone here wrote the 'code' for the html window and then I copied it into the HTML edit section. I now have a separate window I can dock anywhere which scrolls through the taglines I have assigned. I am personally a complete idiot when it comes to the code side of things (barely able to underline, bold, or change background colour), but there are quite a few people in the forum who are not only incredibly adept at this sort of thing; they're also very generous with their help and time!!! | | | | Last edited: by Pantheon |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm using 4 of them now. - Review (the one posted here) - Dymo label printer - Dymo barcode printer - Kijkwijzer (Dutch Rating) I had more, but I keep changing my minds on things  | | | | Unfortunately, I can't use DVDprofiler at the moment due to lack of a Windows computer. |
