I no longer have DVD Profiler 2.x installed but still, occasionally I want to look up the old Contribution Notes for a profile... So, yesterday I decided to write a small JavaScript snippet which takes the UPC of the profile and then converts it into the old InterVocative identifier and then makes a link out of that. (Obviously it won't work for profiles added by Disc-ID, but all others tested fine so far). It's probably not very pretty from a programming standpoint, but it does the job.

Since I thought some others may have the same "problem" sometimes, I thought I present the script here. Just add the code to an existing HTML window you have or maybe somewhere in the layout you use for previewing updates.

Quote:
      <script>
        longUPC = DP_UPC;
        dot = DP_UPC.indexOf(".");
        if (DP_UPC.indexOf("I") >= 0) {
          document.write("Unavailable");
        } else {
          if (dot < 0) {
            shortUPC = DP_UPC.slice(1,-1);
            locality = "";
          }
          else {
            locality = DP_UPC.slice(dot);
            shortUPC = DP_UPC.slice(0,dot)
            if (shortUPC.length==12) {
              shortUPC = shortUPC.slice(1,-1);
            } else { if (shortUPC.length==13) {
              shortUPC = shortUPC.slice(1);
              }
            }
          }
          document.write("<a href='http://www.intervocative.com/Forums.aspx?task=contributionnotes&type=DVD&ProfileUPC=" + shortUPC + locality + "' target='_blank'>" + shortUPC + locality +  "</a>");
        }
      </script>

It requires the HEADER_VARS to be activate for the window.


Maybe others have just small little code snippets on their computer but didn't think it's worth opening an entire thread for it? Well, if more little code snippets are added to this thread, I'll rename it to "JavaScript code snippet" or something appropriate and we can collect them all here.

Thanks for this Achim. I also like to be able to look up old notes occasionally. Now I'll will only have to fire up V2.5 when it's a DiscID profile. Green arrow for that one.

Quoting m.cellophaneJames, this:

<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">

is what is referred to as HEADER_VARS. So, you stuck it in there and that is good

Having it on it's own is obviously a waste of space, but you'll find a space... (I have it in a window with a bunch of personal information, such as last viewed, sort title and if there is a Gallery or EPG, as well as a few links to Rules, the Notes, etc.
