Question about sorting within a category

Postby WannaTheater on Thu Apr 19, 2007 7:45 pm

I've been using HeavyMeatal skin for awhile, with XLobby build date in 6/6/2006. I just updated to XLobby build date 02-26-2007, and now a few things are no longer working.

1) I have a screen which shows movies, and has a search button on the page
2) "Search" opens up an abc_overlay, in which I have a bunch of buttons for filtering (year, title, rating, etc). The results are in "filterdetails", shown on the same page
-If I pushed button "Genre" the filterdetails shows all available Genres. Then if I clicked on the particular Genre, XLobby would return back to the movie screen, showing all movies for that particular genre.
4) I would then pick movie, which would open overlay of movie-details page

Once I installed 2/26/2007 build, these operations changed.
Basically, when I sort by "Genre," I get all of the Genre's... then I pick a genre and get all of the movies in thet genre while still on the search screen. Then once I pick a movie, it just starts playing it (call to Zoomplayer), with no detail screen.

... I noticed a few new options on "Category" tab, such as "Jump to Detail?" and Result Cat? (from memory) which I am not sure about their functionality.

Any ideas on how to get the same functionality as the older XL, with this new installation? (basically once I pick a genre, I go back to the movies page showing just the filtered movies of that genre?)

Thanks!

I think I figured it out. Could be a bug:

In the results block of the movie_search_family screen, if you inadvertantly set the Category of filterdetails to link to a database, you lose the link to the actual results generated by the filter. I thought that if you set the database to "NONE" it would fix it, but it didn't.

... Didn't figure it out.

The Feb build "pushes down" into the category... If I filter by Genre, it show all results in filterdetails... then when I select a genre, it shows all results in filter details.... (The previous XL version would jump back to the movie page with the appropriate slice of the database being shown, which is what I want)

This is driving me nuts
