Modify
Templates
All the templates in MovieGallery can be modified to suit
your needs. This is a short explanation on how to do it.
You'll need some knowledge of XHTML and JavaScript.
1, Find the
built-in Templates folder
Right-click (ctrl-click) the MovieGallery application
icon and select Show Package Contents.
2, Duplicate an
existing Template and rename it
Navigate to Contents->Resources->Templates in the
window that just opened. Duplicate (select and press
cmd-d on your keyboard) the folder of the Template that
you would like to use as a base for your modifications.
In this case we use the Dynamic Modern Web White
template. Rename the new folder to something unique and
copy that folder to Home->Library->Application
Support->MovieGallery->Templates like this.
3, Start to
modify your custom Template
Now you can start to modify the contents of your Template
folder. If you have done any web authoring that shouldn't
be too hard. You can open up index.html in your web
browser and see what it looks like before it has been
populated by MovieGallery. Files that you should not
change are marked in red below.
The graphics.png file can be opened and modified in
Macromedia/Adobe Fireworks. The moviegallery.js file is
the one responsible for reading all the data in
moviegallery.xml and lay out all the pieces in
index.html.
Good luck with your custom Templates!
