Is there a plugin that is used to create the 'basics' of a review like found in this thread?  I don't see one in the plugin section

Thanks

It isn't a plugin... it is an html window....

Just go to View-->html window-->edit then click the paper icon to create a new html window... and put the following in

Quote:

</HTML>
<BODY>
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
var a = '<DP NAME="UPC" Formatted="NO">';
document.write('[ img src="http://www.invelos.com/mpimages/' + a.substring(0,2) + '/' + a + 'f.jpg" /]' );
</SCRIPT>
<br>

</HTML>


I put extra spaces in the bbc codes so it would show up here... be sure to remove all the extra spaces and click ok.

Then in profiler go to View-->HTML Windows and check the one you just made. You can then place it in your layout or just bring it up each time you want to use it.

Do you know if it is possible to get Personalize, Notes into the 'My Thoughts' section and Rating into 'My Rating'.

Thanks

Personalize->Notes:
<DP NAME="NOTES">

Your Review (Rating):
<DP NAME="REVIEW">

This should do it.

While the notes may work without much of a problem (I use my notes for other things so won't try it)... but the review one will not work... at least not easily. It puts an image in the html window... won't show up (at least not easily) on the forum.

Ah, OK. I didn't tried this for forums, just tried it local.

The review is available as an integer from 0-9 in the header variables.
For this you have to put the following in the <head> section of the html:
<SCRIPT language=javascript>
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS">
</SCRIPT>
And then in the body you have the javascript integer variable DP_ReviewFilm to use.
e.g.
<script language="javascript">
document.write("Review: " + DP_ReviewFilm);
</script>
will print this integer value out.

If you want to have it from a scale from 0-5, you can do the following:
document.write("Rating: " + (DP_ReviewFilm + 1) / 2 + "/5");

This will print for example:
Rating: 3.5/5

I haven't done this before either and wanted to try since I really like your review format, Pete, but I can't get it to show up correctly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've deleted the spaces from the
[ b], yet I still see them in the window afterwards. Plus, I don't get the image, just the instructions for it.

It looks like it is pulling the right info out-the summary, characters/actors, rating, etc are there, but the bold isn't working and color changing isn't working. Do I need to have something enabled? I do have the html in the notes section enabled.

Help!

In the program itself all you will see is the code. You copy all that code in the program and past it in a forum post and click preview. there you should see everything right.

Ah! That's where I was going wrong. I thought you could see it in the program as well and never tried to post it here. Works great now! Thanks again!
