Skin tag

[CAD]

Hi,

I'm assuming that tag provides the little + symbol to expand and shrink lists.
      <human category="0"/>

is this correct? what does the category="0" bit do?
what happens if i change it to a 1 (i did this and could not see any difference)

Nostra would you be willing to change pvd_classic skin to have "aka" section use this.
I have movies where they have been translated into many countries and the aka list pushes the other entries
down. having aka list shrunk would be nice option.

ie

Code: [Select]

 <row>
  <column width="120" halign="right" valign="top">
   <fieldlabel field="aka"/>
  </column>
  <column>
<aka/>
  </column>
            <column>
<human category="0"/>
  </column>
 </row>

Also is there a list of skin tags (and what they do).
i would be willing to write a "how to" but i have to understand it myself  

[nostra]

category by human tag means credit type:
 0 - Actor
 1 - Director
 2 - Writer
 3 - Composer
 4 - Producer

It's a copy from PVD sources. Values you need are between ''

Code: [Select]

Use what???

Sorry Nostra,
I should have made myself far more clear.

i would like to limit the "Also known as:" field for movie entries.
When importing a well known movie, you may get 20+  "Also known as:" entries for the movie as it has been released in different languages. This pushes other information down and off the screen.

Some fields have a little "+" next to them (such as writers,producer,actors) to allow a summary ("+") or expanded ("-") list.
I am trying to get the "+" button in against the "Also known as:" field for movies.

I modified your skin to:

Code: [Select]

<row>
 <column width="120" halign="right" valign="top">
  <fieldlabel field="aka"/>
 </column>
 <column>
<aka/>
 </column>
            <column>
<human category="0"/>
 </column>
</row>


This produced the desired results
I now have  a little "+" next to "Also known as:" field

im assumming the <human category="0"/>
 produces the "+" - but i'm not sure if it is the best way of doing it

I love your default skin and would like this to be included as a default for future releases.

Begging your humble indulgance, i would like to see this made as a default for this skin

PS thanks for the info on skin tags - GREAT
