MyList export template guidelines: Difference between revisions

This page will try to give some pointers in to Mylist Export Template creation.

=== What are Mylist Exports? ===

: Mylist exports are a way to export your mylist, providing off-line browsing capabilities, it's like a snapshot of the state of your mylist at the moment you requested the export.

=== Can I include images, external stylesheets/javascript files with my templates? ===

: This SDK is meant to allow you to test your templates for the AniDB mylist export function on your own pc. It should work under Windows and Linux. You might need to install some additional software (see bellow for Installing Perl).

: The source code of all release versions of the Mylist Export templates listed on this page is [[AniDB:Mylist_export_DEV]].<br/>

Well, here's all you need to write templates for the mylist export function.<br>

The export script will parse the mylist.tpl file and create one output file called i.e. mylist.htm. So mylist.tpl get's parsed only once (because you only have one mylist).<br>

However anime.tpl will be parsed once for every anime in your mylist. And for each a unique file will be created. The default file extension for the output files is "htm", however if you create a file called "extension.dat" and put only the extension in the first line of the file, i.e. "txt" then that extension will be used.<br>

: This is a simple if/else statement. This would write "anime is watched" or "anime is unwatched" into the resulting html file. Note that you can only check if a variable is defined, it is not possible to compare values. All variables begining with status_ are meant to be used in ifs. They are either 0 or 1.
