Title: IM A NEWB: HAVE A ? ABOUT INFO TEMPLATES..
Post by: geekbeats on December 20, 2003, 07:14:56 am

Ok heres the deal. I've recently started playing around and customizing the Html info templates and had a great idea but am unsure how to implement it, if possible at all.
I store my mp3s in organized folders according to Genre<Artist<Album. Within each Artist folder i store a 300x300 jpeg of the artist alongside the album folders. The Album folders of course contain corresponding cover art (also in jpeg 300x300). My question is , would it be possible to display the 'Artist'.jpeg (which is one directory up) alongside the 'Cover'.jpeg in the html template? If it helps at all of the images described above are all named Folder.jpg to meet the window xp standard. Anyways I look forward to hearing what u guys have to say about this. Thanks in advance!  - Raymond :D

This should work.

You can use something like that in your html-code to display the images:

    <tr>
      <td width="100%" align="center"><font face="Arial">
      <a href="TRACKINFO_INSERT_IMAGE">
      <img border="0" src="M:\TRACKINFO_INSERT_GENRE\TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST\TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST.jpg">[/url]</font></td>
    </tr>

... where M:\ is the fixed base-path for the images.

Hope this helps  :D

I've tested it.
And it should work.

You can send me your html-code if you want. Maybe i can find something.

ok heres a link to what it looks like so far. its missing the info text and of course the "artist.jpeg" that i cant get to work.  u can see the empty 150x150 window is where id like the artist.jpeg to appear. heres what the code looks like:

<td width="100%" align="center">

<img border="0" src="F:\TRACKINFO_INSERT_GENRE\TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST\TRACKINFO_INSERT_Folder.jpg">[/url]</font></td>

<td colspan=1 height=150></td>

<img border="0" src="F:\TRACKINFO_INSERT_GENRE\TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST\TRACKINFO_INSERT_Folder.jpg">[/url]</font></td>
<td colspan=1 height=150></td>

What is the name of the image-file exactly?

If it is really always 'folder.jpg' the html should look like that:

src="F:\TRACKINFO_INSERT_GENRE\TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST\Folder.jpg"

It it is 'Artistname.jpg' the html should look like that:

src="F:\TRACKINFO_INSERT_GENRE\TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST\TRACKINFO_INSERT_ARTIST.jpg"


Please let me know it if works.
