Modifying Secondary Details of MyFancyIndex

[Black Smurf]

I'm currently playing around with the new export template "FancyIndex"... finally a sortable table - thank you!

I've modified the main table to my taste, but the secondary details is far to verbose for me (includes lots of data fields I do not want there). And I've been unable to find the corresponding creation file... I'm not familiar with html/css/javascript but since I know LaTeX and C++ assumed I would be able to find my way around the creation files - seems that is not the case since I'm lacking the understanding how the creation process works
In MyFancyIndex.html is a reference to FancyIndexDetails.html which is nowhere to be found on my system.

So, could you please tell me how/where I can modify the secondary details export?


PS:
The sorting by title only ignores "the" and "a" at the beginning of titles - I've included some more articles in fi.shared.js. In case someone wants to do the same: it's line 92 ff., the file is in Images/MyFancyIndexImages. Insert something like:

else if (s.substr(0,4).toLowerCase() === "der ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }
else if (s.substr(0,4).toLowerCase() === "die ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }
else if (s.substr(0,4).toLowerCase() === "das ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }
else if (s.substr(0,4).toLowerCase() === "ein ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }
else if (s.substr(0,3).toLowerCase() === "la ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }
else if (s.substr(0,3).toLowerCase() === "le ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }
else if (s.substr(0,4).toLowerCase() === "les ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }
else if (s.substr(0,3).toLowerCase() === "un ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }
else if (s.substr(0,3).toLowerCase() === "el ") { return s.substr(4).toLowerCase(); }

(this is of course not comprehensive, but covers all occurrences in my collection )

It would be nice if future versions of the template could contain expanded lists

Conor went through how to modify the extra detail page, here.

I have thought about expanding the list to include foreign articles, but I am slightly nervous about screwing up the sorting of something like "Die Hard".

Thanks for the link - I hadn't found that thread.

Alas, I didn't find the crucial hint there: Where do I find the file FancyIndexDetails.html? It's not in ~/Library/Application Support/DVDpedia/Templates or any of its sub-folders and Spotlight doesn't find it.
I surmise it has to be somewhere on my system since the export is working...

Edit:
Oh - and thank you for creating the template in the first place, it's great!

If you right-click on the *Pedia icon in your Application's folder and choose "Show Package Contents", you'll find it under Contents > Resources > Templates. You can either edit it right there or copy it to your personal Templates folder (recommended).

Ah, there it is!

Thank you for the hint

The "edit" button from the export was not bringing along the details page for customization since it would have required a few extra steps to change the name inside the original template for the details to "MyFancyIndexDetails.html". But I have added that feature for the next version to avoid this confusion.

Also for ignoring non-english articles you might want to look at the version that I created for another user that is just slightly more optimized, by avoiding repeated calls to the substring and lowercase functions.

That will really be handy for people trying to modify the template for the first time (I had modified the template I used before, of course - but in that case all relevant files could be found by clicking the "edit" button and exploring the sub-folders of the folder it opened... which actually added to my confusion when that didn't work for the FancyIndex).

Nice. Thanks for the link
