| | Posted: | | | | Hello all
I currently have an html window that I use to display reviews from my favourite film magazine.
Currently the code utilises the UPC of each film as the file name.
I would like to change this so that the title of the film is used (which will make the files easier to find later).
Here's the code as it stands; and if someone can change the bits required I would be very grateful:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
//-->
// -------- Configuration block - Start --------
// Extended Features Storage Location
var pathToEfStorage = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Neil\\Documents\\DVD Profiler\\tfr\\"; // <-- SET
// filename
var fileNamePrefix = "tfr."; // <-- SET
var excludeLocality = true; // <-- SET true/false
var fileNameSuffix = ".html"; // <-- SET .htm/.html
// -------- Configuration block - END --------
function showEF()
{
var notes = DP_Notes.indexOf("\<tfr=1\>");
if (notes != -1) {
var upc = DP_UPC;
if (excludeLocality == true && upc.indexOf(".") != -1) upc = upc.substring(0, upc.lastIndexOf("."));
pageToLoad = pathToEfStorage + fileNamePrefix+ upc + fileNameSuffix;
window.location.href = pageToLoad;
} else {
document.write("No Review Available!");
}
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="showEF()">
</BODY> |

| | Posted: | | | | Of course anything can be programmed, but I think you're asking for a bit of trouble IMHO.
Examples:
- Special characters in the title that aren't allowed in filenames would have to be filtered out
- Profile changes could change the title, then it won't match your file
- (almost forgot) Same title for multiple profiles
But good luck anyway ... | | | Thanks for your support.

| | Posted: | | | | Okay, try this code: Quote:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
//-->
function RemoveReservedChars(title){
title = title.replace(/\./g, "");
title = title.replace(/\//g, "");
title = title.replace(/\*/, "");
title = title.replace(/\\/g, "");
title = title.replace(/\?/g, "");
title = title.replace(/%/g, "");
title = title.replace(/:/g, "");
title = title.replace(/\|/g, "");
title = title.replace(/\"/g, "");
title = title.replace(/>/g, "");
title = title.replace(/</g, "");
title = title.replace (/^\s+/, '').replace (/\s+$/, '');
return(title);
}
// -------- Configuration block - Start --------
// Extended Features Storage Location
var pathToEfStorage = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Neil\\Documents\\DVD Profiler\\tfr\\"; // <-- SET
// filename
var fileNamePrefix = "tfr."; // <-- SET
var excludeLocality = true; // <-- SET true/false
var fileNameSuffix = ".html"; // <-- SET .htm/.html
// -------- Configuration block - END --------
var title = "<DP NAME="TITLE">";
title = RemoveReservedChars(title);
function showEF(title)
{
var notes = DP_Notes.indexOf("\<tfr=1\>");
if (notes != -1) {
pageToLoad = pathToEfStorage + fileNamePrefix+ title + fileNameSuffix;
window.location.href = pageToLoad;
} else {
document.write("No Review Available!");
}
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="showEF(title)">
</BODY>
</HTML>
This function should eliminate all reserved characters from the title. The following characters are forbidden: . \ / * " ? % : | < > and a leading or trailing space. And you could use the sorttitle to avoid the "Same title for multiple profiles" problem by changing Quote:
var title = "<DP NAME="TITLE">"; to Quote:
var title = "<DP NAME="SORTTITLE">"; | | |

| | Posted: | | | | Thank you so much SH84.
I had some trouble getting it to work.
But, after comparing to the original code all I did was change the following:
function showEF(title) to function showEF()
and
<BODY onload="showEF(title)"> to <BODY onload="showEF()">
Then it worked perfectly.
I really appreciate you taking the time to do this!! |

| | Posted: | | | | Here is a shorter version of SH84's code: Quote:
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
function getStorageLocation() {
// -------- Configuration block - Start --------
// Extended Features Storage Location
var pathToEfStorage = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\Neil\\Documents\\DVD Profiler\\tfr\\"; // <-- SET
var fileNamePrefix = "tfr."; // <-- SET
var fileNameSuffix = ".html"; // <-- SET .htm/.html
// -------- Configuration block - END --------
return pathToEfStorage + fileNamePrefix + getSortTitle() + fileNameSuffix;
}
function showReview() { ( DP_Notes.indexOf( "\<tfr=1\>" ) != -1 ) ? window.location.href = getStorageLocation(): document.write( "No review available for '" + getSortTitle() + "'!" ); }
function getSortTitle() { return '<DP NAME="SORTTITLE">'.replace( /^\s+|\.|\/|\*|\\|\?|%|:¤¤¤|\||\"|<|>|\s{2}/g, "" ).replace( /\s+$/, "" ); }
//-->
</script>
</head>
<body onload="showReview();">
</body>
</html> Remove the three ¤¤¤ characters in the regexp after you pasted it into DVD Profiler. |
