Sorry but I still haven't been able to get it to work after downloading it again. Did you update the download link with a newer version, its ver 1.8 currently.

Alright thanks for your hard work! Hopefully they will be finished soon and you can work without more unplanned changes interrupting this brilliant program.

Huh, now it works! But for reasons I don't understand it doesn't work for all titles in your list until you switch your default list category to all anime

Is it safe?? I tried downloading Hahaido's covers generator but my avast antivirus keeps blocking the download, saying that a suspicious item has been detected. :(

Yeah its safe. I use Avast too and scanned the folder myself to show its safe, pic here:
http://i.imgur.com/FdxuHus.png

Its coming up suspicious because its a "false positive", files that are self-extracting (or something like that) tend to get these warnings. I sent Avast a report that this particular file was mistaken as unsafe since they give u that option.

To download and use this file you may need to disable the Avast add-on and Shield Control for 10 minutes. For the shield controls, just right click the icon on your toolbar.

OK, I did what you told me and it worked! I was able to download and extract the compressed file successfully. Thanks a lot!

I ran the program to generate covers for my manga list first and it was a success! Well, not really 100%.. I still have empty cover images in my list, like, for example: the Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei (Enrollment arc) manga and the Pandora Hearts manga don't have covers in my list. Manga such as Watamote and Yotsubato! already have new covers but the covers in my manga list for these two are old images. Would it work if I replace the image URLs in the CSS by editing it manually using Notepad...? Before MAL upgraded their security, I used to edit the image URLs manually in the CSS using Notepad and it was working back then. Not sure about now..

It would take a while to generate covers for my anime list that has over 1800 entries.

Re-downloaded the app and generated new covers for my manga list. All covers are up-to-date! Thank you very much! :D

This might sound a stupid question.. List won't display all entries for "all anime" page if it has over 1500 entries. Will this app still be able to generate covers if default page is "all anime/manga" but with over 1500 entries??

It's doesn't matter what is your default page. The app checks your total entries amount. If it less than 1500 then "all anime" page is loading. If more than 1500 then all pages are loading step by step. All operations are automated

Well, I made really minor changes to make the app work, it doesn't worth a new version number. Or do you think different?
I usually change a version number when I change interface details or working algorithm

Even tho the changes made were minor, the fact its working after all thats happened recently is such a significant difference from older versions which don't work anymore, right? So this is a major change to people using it and I thought would denote a numerical change (1.85 or 1.9 I was expecting lol).

Thats just my opinion tho, numerical changes are up to you since its your program and you should feel comfortable with it!

btw awesome work getting the program to work again. It's been a major blow to this site losing IMG tags, blogs and topics nuked, club updates made difficult, no more member cards displayed in the forums, and now aps shut down by security changes. At least one thing is working normally for the moment! I dread to think whats going to be taken away or screwed over next lol (maybe a recaptha on every comment? -_- lol).

Oh, OK then. I simply misunderstood the operation of this program when I read your previous post. My bad!

Your Covers Generator is amazing and it's the only one I know that works after MAL increased its security. Thanks for your hard work!

There is no misunderstandings. Each list's page except default, contain "&" symbol in own link (myanimelist.net/animelist/Hahaido&status7, for example) and previous version of the app has ignored "&" symbols so only default page can be loaded

I've checked this whole topic and, since I haven't found a problem like this, here goes:

I don't know how this generator works exactly but I think it goes through the whole list once and THEN we choose if we want the more CSS or the animetitle CSS, right? Anyway, the point is that the generator doesn't download a single cover from my list for some reason.



The image shows 0 of 293 items after I've hit Go and waited until I received a message saying "All the entires of F_E_A_R's list were extracted" or something similar (by the way, entries, not entires. A minor correction). So, yeah, that's pretty much it. It says it downloaded them all but it doesn't show a single one. Does anyone know what's the problem?

For some reason I'm not able to download the APP, every time I try to download it I got this error message: Style_v1_85.zip could not be saved, because the source file could not be read.
Then if I try to redownload it, the page just goes 404.

Sorry for the inconvenience, can someone provide me a solution?

Every valid username I tried (tried random recent post in this club) works great for me, just downloaded the app when Hahaido post the update and works.

But it's a little slower at the beginning, just to load all the anime list, after that is very quick, and generate all the .css perfect.


I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64, I'll try in Windows 7 Starter and Ultimate x86 soon.

@Hahaido: I have a request for a feature to add to this generator in the future, when you want to and have time! The request is for the generator to produce "before cover CSS", example linked below. I have improvised a new kinda cover style after requests, where cover pics zoom out from anime titles on hover. It uses "before CSS" to achieve this effect in an easy, non-intrusive way that can be easily customized.

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/Club%20layouts/Users/Alextashabefore.css

Its just the "after anime title CSS" which your generator makes, but its been edited into this "before CSS" by replacing some words with others. That was very easy to do. I couldn't use after CSS or regular anime title CSS since it gets inconvenient. Just using "before CSS" works wonderfully well for this tho so far from what I've seen.

It isn't necessary to add such a feature tho, since as I said there a simple technique using wordpad to edit a after CSS into a before CSS. But it would be convenient for those ppl who want to use it in the future!


example of "before CSS" in layout with this cover style:

I will add this in a new version. I've decided to remove #list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover from .animetitle selector. I think everyone can add visibility property to .animetitle:before and .animetitle:after selectors and put an extra line to CSS with visibility change on hover

Wow great! The type of CSS I've requested I will be calling "Animetitle Zoom" CSS to designate its effect from other cover CSS, since they are going to have similar names and selectors and be confusing. Please name it this in the program if you can! It is only for the layouts that use the effect of covers zooming out from animetitle.

It seems I may need to replace using More CSS for layouts like this
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=563993#PgHfTJVZPvBYHQkl.99

But I have something in mind we can use I call "Hover" CSS which would replace #more CSS for that style. It uses a modded version of after CSS, similarly to how Zoom CSS was a modded version of before CSS. Phew! I will release tutorials on both as soon as I can

I don't fully understand the change

I've decided to remove #list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover from .animetitle selector. I think everyone can add visibility property to .animetitle:before and .animetitle:after selectors and put an extra line to CSS with visibility change on hover

Now generated CSS for .animetitle looks like

#list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover .animetitle:before
#list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover .animetitle:after

and you asked for .animetitle:before. In new version .animetitle CSS will look like:

.animetitle
.animetitle:before
.animetitle:after
