DVDpedia: HTML export and links

[udo]

I don't want to actually link to the files from the exported HTML, I just want to have the "place" where the corresponding file resides in readable form. So, I put this in my html template:

Code: Select all

	<!--IFlinks 
		<ul> 
		[linksBegin]<li>[link:url]</li>
		[linksEnd] 
		</ul> 
		ENDlinks-->

All my DVDpedia entries have links to movie files like this:

Code: Select all

file:///Volumes/MOVIES/TITLE_OF_MOVIE/VIDEO_TS

But come html export those are ignored. Where's my mistake?

Your template code is correct but DVDpedia actually ignores local links when exporting to HTML as it does not expect the HTML to be used on the same computer as the files reside on. There meta command that includeds local linked files is normally just "yes" or "no" value but "yes" would actually copy the linked files into the exported folder for upload to a server. Sorry about the delay in responding, I was upadting the DVDpedia beta to enable the export of local links in HTML without copying the file, the export system is to complex to make that change without some serious consideration. The new command to get only the links inserted is:

Code: Select all

<meta name="includeLocalLinks" content="linksOnly">

Add the above line to the top of your template file.
