Template Export Designs
Hello to all,
This isn't the normal feature request, well it's like a design request for a export template, the thing is i'm a bit blank with functional ideias for templates, but adapting the code that's underneath anidbstyle or cleancut is somewhat easy.
So if any of you have any design ideias, function ideias or such please feel free to say it.
If you wish any function integrated in the templates please also feel free to leave comments, if possible i'll included it.
Note: some functions related to the newly introduced features of aniDB can't be inclued till a new SDK is offered, but anyway bring in the ideas

To keep a log of what should be changed in the new SDK...
1. Unverified CRCs are shown as failed with current SDK (I think is better to add the following values: data_file_state (FILE_CRCUNV=3) & status_file_state_crcunverified (true/false)
2. Anime Planet link is not working (it was changed and main site has it working properly)
3. Comment for files (add the feature to show comments)
4. New states/Generic files (add features, but I assume it won't be easy)

my list of the SDK wishlist:
- data_anime_startairdate (?)
- data_anime_endairdate (?)
- data_anime_ishentai (this is the lazy me, i could get this from a genre filter)
- data_ep_title_english
- data_ep_title_romanji
- data_ep_title_kanji
- data_file_fstype_id (filestate type)
- data_file_fstype_name
- data_file_isgeneric (true/false)
Also I would like, if possible, to state on the templatehowto.txt file or to reference it somewhere, the new and improved id list of:
- Audio Language
- Subtitle Language
- File Source
- Video Codec
- File Extension
I think these are the only ones that got new id's.
On another wishlist for the sdk, a implementation of the wishlist would be nice but not very much top priority, something simple like:
- data_anime_iswishlist (true/false)
- data_anime_wishlist_id (0 - no, 1 - unk/udf, 2 - to watch, 4 - to get, 8 - blacklist)
- data_anime_wishlist_name (like above?)
After reading a topic arround here about filtering animes in which ppl voted, i was thinking if it would be possible to introduce something like this:
data_anime_istmpvoted [for animes i temp. voted (true/false)]
data_anime_isvoted [for animes i voted (true/false)]
data_anime_myvote (the numeric value of the vote)
data_anime_mytmpvote (the numeric value of the tmp vote)
- data_anime_startairdate (?)
- data_anime_endairdate (?)
- data_anime_ishentai (this is the lazy me, i could get this from a genre filter)
- data_ep_title_english
- data_ep_title_romanji
- data_ep_title_kanji
- data_file_fstype_id (filestate type)
- data_file_fstype_name
- data_file_isgeneric (true/false)

A new SDK is now available:
http://www.anidb.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=429
It includes most of these features.
BYe!
EXP
PS: data_anime_ishentai was already present but with a different name.

After SDK 0.9 these two things raised:
1. The current implementation of wishlist requires that you have a file to see the wishlisted anime listed. I think this way is not really useful. To be really useful they should be listed even while not having any file (at least in myList export, not anime). If it's not possible I think it would be better to remove the feature as it's confusing.
2. It would be nice to know when a file has a graph of relations so we can link to it. We don't need the link, just a true/false value and we can build it after that.

I have yet to check this, but considering what DonGato said, it should be enough that when a anime is wishlisted the export only outputs its name or just the anime information without files.DonGato wrote:1.

hmm, didn't get this one:DonGato wrote:2. It would be nice to know when a file has a graph of relations so we can link to it. We don't need the link, just a true/false value and we can build it after that.
- i have an anime
- it has a true value as data_anime_hasgraph (example )
Is this what you were saying?
That would be nice to say "This anime has relations" but a true false/value don't states the relations it selves and i can't imagine what they are, and as such i can't to anything else other than saying "this anime has relations"

hmm, we don't need to use all the information, but i would like to be able to use all the information if needed.
I for once would like to do a diferent list just showing my wishlist for example in conjunction with my trade option, so i would like to have for the wishlist at least, English Title, Romanji Title and Kanji Title, though any synomny or short names would also be of interest.
Hmm, but if it's necessary to have a file, maybe we can circunvent that with a generic file, i would realy like to use the wishlist option on my templates.
as for the graph, kay, in that case, a true/false value would be okay for graphs.

Well, now the only way to circumvent this is you add in your profile at AniDB a generic file for them to be exported. If not they won't. What I requested to exp is to have at least the info generated in the mylist.tmpl so we can use the wishlist flag to not link to any detailed anime info (as it won't be exported, or at lest I think we don't need it). The info you request is there.fahrenheit wrote:hmm, we don't need to use all the information, but i would like to be able to use all the information if needed.

i got asked this:
comments?
Also, i was meaning to ask this, but is there any way to do a REAL backup of our user data, that could be then imported back in to the db?
If yes, how could that be possible?
(only need possibilities, the rest maybe we can work out)
the wishlist thing i guess is being revised, but the next 2 things?Jake030 wrote:[...]
4. Would it ever be possible to export your entire wishlist or any other
extra things like group votes or reviews in case you are a backup
nut ? Of course this may not be the right place to ask that but it's no
big deal I guess.

i guess I'll implement this with the next SDK version.fahrenheit wrote:i got asked this:

however it doesn't have a high priority.
I don't see what use this would have.fahrenheit wrote:Also, i was meaning to ask this, but is there any way to do a REAL backup of our user data, that could be then imported back in to the db?

IMHO the most important data is already available via mylist exports anyway.
BYe!
