The recent update of DVDP killed    the functionality of the HTML Section Crew+ in goodguy's Credits Plus (see Layout Discussion for description and screen view, as it was supposed to work).

I contribute a lot of cast and crew for TV seasons, and really miss this. Not just for display purposes, but also for checking for errors and consistency (in particular crew).

I understand and respect goodguy's reasons for not participating anymore.

However, would there be sufficient interest and support to try and come up with a functional (and functioning) alternative that achieves the same purpose in a similar manner? Personally, I am not sufficiently experienced with HTML and in particular don't know enough about the data structure of DVDP to make any repairs to Crew+, let alone construct something new.

So two questions:
- Are people interested in the result?
- Are people interested to work on this?

I am a little confused. Are you looking to change the main program to be like the html  section goodguy created? (as this is the feature request forum)... if so I disagree.... I wouldn't want to see the main program changed this way.

Or

are you looking for someone to make a similar html page/plugin for the new version?... if this is the case... I hope someone can help you. But you may have better luck in the Layout discussion forum... as that is where I see most html requests.

I was looking for the latter, an optional HTML window.

I posted this in the Feature Requests forum, since hardly anybody seems to visit (or at least post) in the Layout Discussion forum.    I did not realize that feature requests may be restricted to the main program, although your question makes me think differently now... 

Anyway, the fact that several weeks after the update of DVDP, nobody else has commented on the fact that Crew+ stopped functioning, does not bode well for general interest. 

You might try posting in the Plugins forum, Hans.

I don't think HTML windows for layouts are considered plugins, but anything to get attention! 

We see you. But, speaking for myself, I would not have the confidence to even pretend to be able to do it. "Goodguy" was / is one amazing programmer. Maybe he will see these laments and have a change of heart ... 

(There are a couple of other guys around that I think could do it, but I can't speak for them.)

Ok cool. Sorry, I missed that post. Good luck!!!! 

I think I just located the problem exactly, and completely. 

If I change a profile, so as to type "<BR>" (without the quotes) at the end of the episode titles, everything is displayed correctly, both for numbered and unnumbered episodes.

It works for Epsiode dividers and Group dividers (not for Group End dividers since they have no text).

So the question is, what to look for as a separator, and how to do so? 

And, although this is not a bug, it appears that Ken has been inconsistent in not using <BR> as a separator at the end of new dividers, in contrast to everywhere else in the database?

If we get new DP tag attributes "DividerGroup" (set to "<BR>") and "DividerEndGroup" (set to "<BR> <BR>"), there would be no need to modify the javascript code at all... I guess.
