Title: Trackinfo and YEAR
Post by: mark_h on January 31, 2008, 08:09:10 am

I've been revisiting my trackinfo skin and noticed again that it's impossible to get just 'Date (Year)' into the display... eg I want to display something like:

Album (Year)

eg:

OK Computer (1997)

But it's currently impossible as the TRACKINFO_INSERT_YEAR pulls the entire contents of the 'date' field and neither TrackInfo_Insert(Date (year)) nor TrackInfo_Insert(Year) works either.

Can we get an update so that we can pull in the individual parts of the date field or at least have TRACKINFO_INSERT_YEAR only pull out the Date (year) from Date...

Many thanks,

Mark

I am wondering why it is not possible to have ALL library fields as an trackinfo and/or visualization variable. I'd like to use the comment field in visualization ...and perhaps some others ;) But I only can use the comment field in trackinfo pages. I got it working to use a trackinfopage for all my needs in the end.

...but I'm still wondering  ?

Doesn't TrackInfo_Insert(field name) work for you? You should be able to insert any field you like that way
