Title: Showing database fileds in Theater View
Post by: raym on September 05, 2007, 12:59:30 am

[Time] and [Location] have always been the only fields allowed in Theater View skins. Is there any reason why ALL database fields cannot be utilised? Even really basic things like being able to show today's date on the Home page would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

that, indeed, would be nice.
there is as far as i know, one other field that does work, and that is [zone].

Ah yes, I forgot about [zone]. Ok, so there's 3 to choose from... so any reason why other db fields can't be displayed?

The possibilities extend far beyond just being able to show the date. For example, you could potentially create truely custom Theater View pages containing things like director/actor info and movie synopsis for all your DVDs.

Thanks.
