I mean redownloading the app. Which covers don't show? A couple examples, please

Yeah, Tried redownloading, didnt work.

Examples:
- Another
- Another: OVA
- Kimi to Boku 2 (Kimi to Boku 1 does work)
- Dog Days' (Dog Days does work)
- Tasogare Otome x Amnesia
- The iDOLM@STER
- Bakuman 3
- Chitose get you!

Although, By reloading, some covers which first didn't show up, does show up now; for example Inazuma Eleven GO the Movie.

The trouble is not in the app. In your CSS you have 2 lines:

that means you have 2 lists with generated covers CSS. For example The iDOLM@STER cover doesn't show because your Anime list downloads an empty picture link from http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/anime.css (must be deleted). You need just one import link with generated covers CSS.

Woot, Thanks! It worked. Weird though. I did try to remove http://dl.dropbox.com/u/49469857/MAL/premade/anime.css, but when I did that, it only showed the "no picture found"-picture. So I left it as it was. Oh well, Everything's fixed now.

Thank you for your time!

Can anyone explain me how the "Update CSS" exactly work? Because I used this function to update my CSS. But wouldn't I need to re-upload the .css file to dropbox, which gets a new link. And which I still have to re-update my List Style?

I never used "Update CSS", but I dont think you need to re-update your list style. When i made a change on my list and re-uploaded the .css to dropbox, it had the same link.

When you're using "Update CSS" function the generated CSS code is adding at the bottom of your CSS designs code on MAL server and you can see it at the Advanced Style CSS Editor. You don't need to update .css file on Dropbox or else. You don't need a separate .css file at all.

I don't think you're stupid, but I'm going to assume that cuz your list is set to private atm it may be due to that lol. I tried to extract your list title data with the program but I can't for some reason, no other difference from other lists except its set to private.

After you put your name in the username box and hit Go! the first time, it collects all your anime list title data. Then you highlight More or AnimeTitle and click Go! again. Your list's more CSS comes up in the CSS tab which you have to click then copy to the clipboard then into your own import CSS.

I think Hahaido has a specific tutorial for this in his topic here, or maybe in one of the reply posts.

Uhm... Sorry for bothering. But some pictures doesn't get generated when I use the generator. Instead of the anime picture, I see nothing. Even not the "There-is-no-picture-available-picture". Couple of examples are: Love Live, Chitose Get You! and more. If you go to my animelist, you'll notice those black spots.

Also, I was wondering if it was possible to write the codes myself? I've been trying to figure the CSS codes, but I can't seem to decipher everything.

Thank you for your hard work!

Not really rewriting, but adding the codes manually instead of starting the app the whole time. Was just wondering if that's possible.

:before and :after are necessary for .hide to apply additional effects. For example, in this style
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=606105
I have covers background and covers. If you use normal .hide selector to animate them, then a background and a cover will have the same animation, because .hide is a parent for .hide:before and .hide:after. To animate a background and a cover different ways need additional selectors :before and :after
In case with .animetitle additional selectors need to add a cover without moving titles

I'm starting to make a tutorial and basic codes for ppl to use the anime title after codes in order to have the hover display but without losing the more button, but I've ran into a problem! I need the anime title to run stay on the table and not move to where the cover pic is. Is there a way to do this? Here's my code I'm currently tinkering with and we'll resume work on tomorrow.

You will have to use it on my list through Firebug as the aftercss is for my list and the first code is one that needs to be imported so it won't show up in the average CSS edit box.

Example with lines showing what I'm trying to do: http://i.imgur.com/LDQHJDJ.png

#list_surround table:nth-of-type(n+4) tbody:hover .animetitle{
display: block;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
top: 10px;
width: 200px;
height: 300px;

titles move to the top left when you hover on

The recent security changes on MAL seem to also affect this program (the other being U531355's) and prevent it from loading the covers CSS for a list. I've tried it several times and it never loads anything.


So I guess in the meantime until a way is found to generate CSS for your lists again or programs, you'll have to make do with already generated cover CSS rather than making your own if you were trying to fill in all the covers on your list.

I would use one made recently that fills in the most titles on your list. You can get one of the lists in the premade lists topic:
http://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=318587

or just copy one off someone else's list. To do that, simply right click a users list and choose View Page Source. Beginning at line 16 or so you should see an import line similar to

@import "https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/78340470/anime.css";

if they're using covers. For manga lists, it will say manga where it says anime.

Also wait to see if programs can be changed to allow this, other solutions are brought up, and if more changes occur on MAL.

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.

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

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).
