Poster view request with movies - jondr13 - 2010-03-20 I like using the poster view (wrapped or fixed) but also like to see the synopsis as well. There was a MOD someone put out about a week ago within an already established thread that made this possible, and also added 2 thumbnail pictures as well. For the life of me, I cant find it anywhere on here. Can anyone guide me in the right direction or have anything similar? Thanks alot - mcborzu - 2010-03-20 It was this mod: This video explains it better, Youtube Link, the video shows the 1st version- though the concept is still the same. The picture below is how it looks now: ***UPDATE*** Duh, changing those extrathumbs to "<control type="largeimage">" smooths out the scrolling. Now it scrolls just like there was no extrathumbs. Download link reflects the change. It just one .xml, Viewtype_Poster.xml...HERE IS THE DOWNLOAD - Hitcher - 2010-03-21 I forgot the 'largeimage' uses background downloading. - joomafoo - 2010-03-21 would you just replace the existing viewtype_poster.xml file with the modded file in the skins folder for this to work? - mcborzu - 2010-03-21 Yep, exactly...If you want to play it safe you can copy the original viewtype_poster.xml to the desktop then overwrite the Alaska one with this mod. - joomafoo - 2010-03-21 how do you put images in the extra thumbs mine load blank - jondr13 - 2010-03-21 mcborzu Wrote:it was this mod: thats it!!!! Thanks again - mudstuff - 2010-03-22 This is cool, have you thought of making it move more to the left as there's a lot of wasted space? Also the poster could be a little smaller and in line with the top of the thumbs so the film title is all on one line. Just constructive criticism, I love Alaska's clean look but liked all the different options of Auriga Multiplex. - mcborzu - 2010-03-22 mudstuff Wrote:This is cool, have you thought of making it move more to the left as there's a lot of wasted space?

I was trying to think of a way to incorporate extrathumbs yet still keep the Alaska look and fell...not make it too busy with stuff like Aeon - Hitcher - 2010-03-22 It's not 'wasted space' it's 'white space'. - mudstuff - 2010-03-23 Fair enough, I'm all for white space, I just thought centering might look better layout wise as it's very heavy on the right hand side, I didn't want any additional info crammed in there |
