I have a skin for 2.3 with Location:??? then title on top so when fliping through I know where my dvd's are. How do I edit the default skin in 3.0 to add this.

I am the only one that uses Location but it would be nice if someone could explain it or just do it for me.

I been out of the loop so I just found out about 3.0 today. I like it just want my Location thing back where it should be.

I'm not sure if it's what you're after, but if you right click inside the "collection list" window, there should be a "view columns" list - you can add "disc location" as a column inside the "collection list" window.
Hope this helps!

I got it I think 3.0 is kindof retarded but I got it. I had to make new HTML page and copy my 2.4 skin HTML over then saved it.

This made a new window then I had to close all the windows in 3.0 only leaving my new html window open, Then I max out the window and then I saved the layout.

Next time I open it looked like DVD Profile 2.4.

Most layouts have a disc section with the ability to check the Location column.
The problem is that even though the Location column is checked the information in the location field is NOT displayed.

The only solution I've come up with is to copy each and every location field value into the notes field, which displays ok.

Let's see, 5,200+ entries @ 2 minutes per entry = a very long night

I don't know if it's the same problem, but when I first transferred my db from 2.5 to 3.0, a lot of the location info didn't copy over for some reason. But once I'd retyped it in, it's displayed with no more problems. I also remember one of the earlier versions of 3.0 having problems displaying the info. Are you running the most recent version?

all you do is make a new html page call it Location then copy this:

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<tr valign="top"><td class="ch" align="right" width="85">Location:</td><td class="cstval"><DP NAME="DISCS" ShowSlots="YES" ShowLocations="YES"></td></tr> 
<STYLE type="text/css">
<!--
.f1 { font-family: Arial; color: white; font-size: 18pt}
.f2 { font-family: Arial; color: black; font-size: 9pt }
.f3 { font-weight: Bold; font-family: Arial; color: navy; font-size: 9pt }
.f4 { font-weight: Bold; font-family: Arial; color: white; font-size: 9pt }
-->
</STYLE>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False"  bgcolor="#B2CDF1">
//-->
</SCRIPT>

</HEAD>
<BODY>
<body leftmargin=8 topmargin=5 rightmargin=8 bottommargin=0 bgcolor="#B2CDF1">

</BODY>
</HTML>

then you make sure it is checked and set it somewhere on your layout then save the layout.
