Hahaido said: This version allows to update anime/manga database. If some covers in your list don't show or show wrong picture, then use this app to update a database for your Covers Uploader  temporary links till BBcodes return: download - http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78192465/MyAnimeList/Covers%20Uploader/StyleDev.zip original app - http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=442261 Very good, but why not make this version the main application, since won't most users want to be able to update the database now and then? In case you forget to update this in the future, I've listed all topics that need to be updated are conveniently here! http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=659637&show=0#post1 |
| Hmmm, I don't know. Entire database is large and it needs much time to download. There is some users which update their lists not often (once a week or a month), so it's simplier to them to generate covers only for entries that are in their list |
|
| I updated the app and the download link. Please, report any issues |

| Thank you, I'll use it to update all our default cover CSS later |
| Sorry, I can't get it to work! It says all title were extracted, but nothing changes in the app. I just put in 4500 and hit Go! but nothing loads. I also tried loading manga, inputting lesser amounts of covers and using the arrows to choose a number instead but nothing worked for me. screenshot of what I get http://i.imgur.com/9FgjNas.png |
| I updated the app yesterday, so try download it once again. But I must say that previous version works fine for me and I've generated CSS for 5000 most popular animes without any issues. Anyway, try the updated version |
|
| I still can't get it to generate any covers! Not even the default "1" amount. Is there any way I can give you information about why its not working? |
| Try to run it with administrator's rights and add an exception to your firewall |
|
| Another update |
|
| Yes its generating covers now! Thank you. I've grown fond of the new name for the program too! Anyways I don't know if you know this but it produces them like this: #more5114 http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/5/47421.jpg #more9253 http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/11/41011.jpg #more4181 http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/13/24647.jpg which I think is fine tho for now since I can replace the similar parts to make them into a animetitle or #more CSS |
| Glad that it's working now!

So anybody can edit generated CSS for their purposes |
|
| Edit 2: I just tried it again after loading it the first time an hour ago- and this time it loaded perfectly, within a minute, and with NO stop times! There are also no repeat titles and it stopped at 4500. On my first attempt an hour ago it took over 20 minutes to load covers with many problems. I don't see why since nothing was different on the computer, it was the same program and it was only an hour later (maybe MAL lagging is at fault). Should be noted that if its having such issues as: stop times, repeat titles, loading over from 0, etc- to try again in an hour or later cuz that fixed it for me. |
Shishio-kunDec 6, 2013 4:01 PM
| Try updated version. I've made some changes |
|
| The programs are having a hard time loading anything atm past 100 covers. Tried on new and last version. MAL was lagging like crazy last ten minutes btw, I'll try again in an hour. I have top 4500 anime, just need manga! |
| Sorry new problem: I have generated for 4500 top anime a few days ago, and it looks like this of course: #more5114 http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/5/47421.jpg #more9253 http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/11/41011.jpg #more4181 http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/13/24647.jpg #more9969 http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/4/50361.jpg #more15417 http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/4/43157.jpg etc etc But when I try to edit it into animetitle CSS using notepad to mass-replace text and such, the closest I can get is this: .animetitle[href*="anime/5114 /"] {background-image: url(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/5/47421.jpg);} .animetitle[href*="anime/9253 /"] {background-image: url(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/11/41011.jpg);} .animetitle[href*="anime/4181 /"] {background-image: url(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/13/24647.jpg);} .animetitle[href*="anime/9969 /"] {background-image: url(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/4/50361.jpg);} .animetitle[href*="anime/15417 /"] {background-image: url(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/4/43157.jpg);} Its not useasble this way since the selector is split into two lines. I get this because the #more and background url in the generated CSS are on two different lines. Any idea how to better make the developers CSS into a useable CSS? The only way I can think to is to click "backspace" after each individual number, which would take forever unless I use an auto-typer (I'll use that if there's no easy way). |
| I don't know what you mean by "control" character but I think I get there's a character there. I wasn't able to find how to select it in Wordpad but I'll try with the program you linked! |
| Here is the CSS I made using akelpad and the developers CSS for top 500 anime its temporarily in here https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/shishio-kun_animetitle.css I want to replace the default animetitle covers CSS with this but it doesn't work on this list design which uses the animetitle CSS, except on Bleach. Any idea what has gone wrong? http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Shishio-kun&status=1&order=0 edit2: It shows all 5000 titles when I look at the CSS in dropxbox thru notepad, but when I look at it in the browser it only shows 1 title: Bleach O.o request: It seems it would be much easier for anyone using this to just have this program put #more#### and http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/#/####.jpg on the same line instead of two separate ones. That way it can be edited easily with few complications. I don't see any reason to have them on two separate lines anyways, right? |
Shishio-kunDec 9, 2013 3:41 PM
| In Notepad++ you can show symbols like End of Line(EOL) in View menu - Show symbols - Show En of Line. EOL Character shows in Notepad++ normally as CR, LF or CR+LF, that are from Mac, Unix and Windows respectively. Select from the end of the numbers to the first characters in the other line that need to be in the same line. In search mode select Extended. eg. .animetitle[href*="anime/5114{EOL chararcter} /"] {background-image: url(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/5/47421.jpg);} select {EOL character} /"] and replace by /"], and all the split lines will be merged as the EOL character will be removed. This also can be done without showing EOL characters. |
| ok thanks for pointing that out, I'll try it again! |
| OK I was able to write a proper CSS with your instructions! It looks like its working now. With this I'm finally able to update the default covers after like 6 months! Big thanks to both of you for your patience and help. Now I only need to get a developers CSS for the manga which is going to be difficult due to MAL's insane lag lately |
Shishio-kunDec 9, 2013 9:33 PM
| Updated as requested |
|
Hahaido said: Updated as requested Awesome, thank you! And success! I have updated all the default cover CSS files in this group and tested them all out; it seems they are all working! Wouldn't have been able to do it without you guys. I've changed the anime covers to top 5000 up from 4500 as before and increased manga cover CSS from top 4500 to 9000, because even at 4500 the default cover CSS was not showing a lot of manga on many ppl's lists. btw is there a way to edit the CSS files in my dropbox more to speed them up, like removing spaces and such, or does that now matter in the end? |
Shishio-kun said: btw is there a way to edit the CSS files in my dropbox more to speed them up, like removing spaces and such, or does that now matter in the end? I don't think so. If you remove some characters this will reduce file size from 1000 Kb to 990 Kb, for example. It's not a big gain |

| I'm trying to update the default covers CSS for users who complained it was missing new 2014 series added, but I noticed some popular completed series are missing even after re-generating the CSS today. They seem like ones that should be included in the top 5500- like School Days, 11Eyes. I made another with top 6500 and the titles still don't show up. Its the same titles it seems. I can't figure out why. Can anyone find out what is happening or what went wrong? I edited and saved the CSS in Notepad+ This is a user whose list uses my default cover which I'm using as a test list, hes got the missing series on his completed page and the new series on others http://myanimelist.net/animelist/gusmgalicia&status=2&order=0 This is the default cover CSS http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/anime.css |

| Covers for animes you listed are present in the generated CSS. As you may noticed the covers are showing in Chrome. There is a glitch when Firefox doesn't recognize covers which rank is above 3500 |

Hahaido said: Covers for animes you listed are present in the generated CSS. As you may noticed the covers are showing in Chrome. There is a glitch when Firefox doesn't recognize covers which rank is above 3500 I didn't notice in Chrome, but thats very very good its working in that browser! Hmm so do u have any suggestions around this so FF users can see the covers? |
| I guess, it's a layout's CSS error. For example, the following layout: http://myanimelist.net/animelist/alisadark uses the same generated CSS but for other selector and all covers showing up |
|
| Wow how strange! Do you know what the error is exactly? |
| Ha, just remove #list_surround before .hide |
|
Hahaido said: Ha, just remove #list_surround before .hide I've done that, on my list here, but 11eyes still won't show up tho! Oh that terrible terrible anime, it comes back to haunt me! http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Shishio-kun&status=4&order=0 I'll try to remove some other unnecessary selectors in the meantime unless there are more suggestions! |
| You've imported 3 different covers lists at once so no wonder |
|
| They were all 1/3 of the 6500 top, I just split them up into separate files. But I've regenerated a new top 6500 and replaced the anime.css, and still no change! When I look at the covers css in firebug, it stops at #more2629 |
| Problem solved! When I removed that cover line, #more2629, it allowed Firefox to read the rest of the covers and load them all! It had a strange name in the CSS, unlike the others. I guess it blocked all covers below it in Firefox only? This is the anime, I think. Also note, it doesn't have a cover! http://myanimelist.net/anime/2629 update: This is how it looks in the covers CSS before its deleted out! #more2629 {background-image: url(http://cdn.myanimelist.net/images/anime/="hoverinfo_.jpg);} I don't know how to add a cover to an anime on MAL, but I'll ask some ppl! btw #2629 was the only anime out of the top 8000 which had no cover! (I updated my default covers CSS to 8000, since well known but low ranked anime like SOA2 wouldn't be generated if I used only top 6500 but will undoubtedly be on everyones list soon) |

| I know what the problem is.'no cover' pic has different format to the rest of covers so the app makes error when trying to generate a cover for that anime |
|
| Wow that was fast! I sent a msg to Kineta asking how to replace the cover so it wasn't blank, and after uploading a pic from the anime I found on its wiki she made it the cover! Now that problem won't happen when generating lists regarding that title. I've also decided to just make the default cover CSS @import "http://dl.dropbox.com/u/78340470/anime.css"; cover every anime on the site. I set it to 9500, and I started to get a mishmash of code at the bottom. Is that because it no longer could find any more series? It capped at 8662 titles! I deleted the mishmash. btw anyone know why this is one of the bottom ranked http://myanimelist.net/anime/1093 but this has a lower score but is higher ranked? This should be lower ranked than the above.. right? http://myanimelist.net/anime/413/Mars_of_Destruction |
Shishio-kun said: I set it to 9500, and I started to get a mishmash of code at the bottom. Is that because it no longer could find any more series? Yes, the app doesn't stop itself when reaching the last anime Shishio-kun said: btw anyone know why this is one of the bottom ranked http://myanimelist.net/anime/1093 but this has a lower score but is higher ranked? This should be lower ranked than the above.. right? http://myanimelist.net/anime/413/Mars_of_Destruction You should read the FAQ. I guess, the anime with higher rank watched and scored more people, so it's more popular anyway |

| 2Shishio-kun: I need help! I will be really appreciated if you would make bases not only for default #more selector but for others as well. I mean .animetitle, for example. Also I started to use #more*** .borderRBL selector to save more button and display covers only when you press related button |

Also I started to use #more*** .borderRBL selector to save more button and display covers only when you press related button Oops I didn't see this till just now, sorry! I have made and updated a lot of base CSS already! The anime one is the most used (#more CSS) and was updated like yesterday. Most of the others updated a week or two ago. But I plan to update them all near end of the week, hopefully! You're familiar with these CSS types when you click them so I don't I need to explain what kinda layouts they go on- and all are on many premade layouts already. If you think I need to make another for another style, let me know here! http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/anime.css http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/animeafter.css http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/animebefore.css http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/animemorebefore.css http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/animetitle.css http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/manga.css http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/mangabefore.css http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/mangaafter.css http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/mangatitle.css I'm not familiar with this #more*** .border code, explain more please? Can I replace the #more CSS with it, and will it still work on say- Square layout? That would be a godsend. |
| Big thanks! The main reason I'm using #more*** .borderRBL selector is hover effects. You can combine tr:hover with it. I'm using this selector in my current manga list Forgot to say that covers which using this selector appear only when you click 'more' button Also I'm thinking to present my future layouts without covers, so people when applying a layout to an anime or manga list can put related link (to anime or manga covers) |

| I have a question about the covers on my list: Why do only 100~ covers appear at a time? What I mean by this is, only the first 95 - 100 series on my lists actually have their covers appearing. For example, One Piece- when alphabetical- does not has its cover showing. But, while score listed or chapter read listed, its cover does show. This also applies in the same manner with my anime list. Why does this happen and how can it be fixed? o.0 |
| @DarkAngelz This doesn't happen to me in Firefox 28, but in Chrome 33 it does so you can fix this by switching browser If you open a Network pane in Firebug or Chrome DevTools and reload your list, you shall notice that Chrome will fire tons of requests trying to load all your covers (it seems), while Firefox doesn't load one until you actualy hover something. Browsers usually don't load images for hidden elements, but in your case Chrome does. I guess it's because of that: :hover + .hide Try adding table to selector so it looks like this: { /* ... */ display: block; /* ... */ } table:hover + .hide If it doesn't help, consider switching to using before or after selectors for covers.Also, please ask your questions in relevant or general topics. This one is about one specific application. |
