View Full Version : Question about Default Template

By default this template shows various artists listings like this:
CD1 [1:18:32]
1. Wind Of Change 5:11 play
Scorpions
2. Time To Say Goodbye 4:05 play
Sarah Brightman
But in my opinion much better looks this:
CD1 [1:18:32]
1. Wind Of Change / Scorpions (5:11) play
2. Time To Say Goodbye / Sarah Brightman (4:05) play
Is this change possible?
Any help is appreciated!

Hi Kalle
Which template are you referring to? What's the name of the template? Let me know, and I'll show you how to edit it.
There's a Default theme, but as far as I know there is no template called Default.
In case you're not familiar with the distinction between a template and a theme:
- a template is used to generate HTML output. Select Tools | Export to HTML....
- a theme is an OCD skin, if you like. You can change "skin"/theme by selecting View | Preferences... | Theme tab.

Oops... My mistake. I was talkin' about 'Default theme', not template. Can you help?

This is what you have to do:
(It might be wise to make a copy of your Default template, before you attempt to do this)
1. Run DAXEXIT (located in your OrangeCD program folder - c:\program files\orangecd)
2. Open the Default theme (located in the Templates sub folder - c:\program files\orangecd\templates) in DaxEdit (File | Open...)
3. Click the Album page tab in DaxEdit
4. Locate <dax:track> - you can search using CTRL+F
The line containing <dax:track> should look like this:
[code]
<dax:track><tr><td valign=top><dax:tracknum/>.

How would I have to edit the theme so as not to show the artist name at all?

Hi Charles
This is what you would have to do:
1. Open the theme in DAXEDIT, and select the Declarations tab
2. Locate the album section, which starts with:
album["Album page"] {
3. Add the following line right below the above mentioned line:
show_artist["Display artist name"] : bool = false;
4. Select the Album page tab
5. Locate the line that starts with
<!---->
6. Replace that line and the following line with this:
<!----><!--[if(trackArtist)]--><tr><td></td><td valign=top><i><!----><!----><!----></i></td></tr>
<!----><!----><!----></table>
If you're running OCD v.6.0 beta 1, you'll have to use this replacement instead:
<dax:if($show_artist)><dax:if(trackArtist)><tr><td></td><td valign=top><i><dax:artistlink><dax:trackartist/></dax:artistlink></i></td></tr>
</dax:if></dax:if></dax:track></table>
That's it.
