page.php is specifically and only the title-specific page that shows after you click a thumbnail.

Is overview the summary? The data you copy pasted there in the call to render page is the only data I'm currently making available for showing in page.php. By default, I'm not displaying that summary text even though I do pass it in to the render page function.

The rows are not exactly limited to 11. They're limited by a formula that's processing the total title count per page in the grid, the number of menu tabs, and the number of titles in your collection. So to get more than 11 rows, you need to reduce the number of columns and/or increase the number of titles in your collection.

The code generator is not designed in such a way as to allow you to move the menu tabs from the top to the bottom. Sorry. I'd have to change the exe to make that possible.

Thanks for the quick reply.

That copies text is from the proper page for the title. (IFD26BFF65A99A8D9.php)

I was hoping to use the Overview/Summary in the display part of the page.php

I was looking for a var field to call that bit of info.

As for the rows, seems odd as I have 970 some titles and going 9 columns it is limiting me to 11 rows.  So I am guessing there is a hard need for having X number of tabs in that top bar ?

Thanks again

Yeah, for desktops/iPads, there's always 9 tabs. On iPhones (webapp mode), there's 5. Varying the number of tabs based on the number or rows adds too much complexity to my menu builder logic.

9 columns times 11 rows is 990 titles, more than your collection count. Allowing you more rows would mean that some of the menu tabs would link to titles already being displayed on the current page.

I don't think I fully understand what you're asking for in regard to the overview/summary. The text you quoted below ("From Roland Emmerich, director of <i>The Day After Tomorrow</i> and <i>Independence Day</i>, comes the ultimate...") is available inside page.php. It's the $dvddesc variable. But to use it, you'll need to follow the commented instructions about escaping the quotes and line breaks. I don't display it by default, but you can see an example of me enabling it here: http://night.org/dvdtest9. That site is using the same software as my main site, just with slight custom edits to page.php.

That info is not available on the main listing page (the grid of thumbnails with the tab menu).

I think we are some how confusing things.

First 9x11 is only 99 unless you are taking into account that the tabs at the top that I think you code to have a minimum number of splits that wont go below 10 ((9x11)x10)=990 That is something I think we are stumbling across.

I kind of wanted to have longer pages with more rows for something else I am working on.

Unless I am wrong about that hard code on the tabs

Which would be :

13th Batm DayT Full Hero Limi Plea Smal Tita - + < > [search pulldown box]

On the profile page I wanted to have the Overview, from the link above click on one and you will see what I was looking to do. 8Ball helped me out with that.  I was looking at a way to add that info as I didn'y see it in an assigned variable.

anywho thanks, I hope that explains what I was attempting to do.

Since the new Beta of DVD Profiler has come out, webgendvd no longer works. I haven't downloaded or installed the Beta this time, no time to test this go-around, but it looks like some of the changes have already been introduced into new profiles because, as of this week, webgendvd produces the following error:

Could not convert variant type (Null) into type (OleStr)

Anyone else that is using webgendvd getting the same error now?

Not using it, but most likely webgendvd can't handle some of the new XML-Elements.

Easy solution: convert the XML to the prior version. 

Get DJ Doena's XsltTransform or use any other xslt-processor if you are already acquainted with one
and save this little XSLT somewhere.
Now simply choose the XSLT-file, the input- and output-file and and of you go.
