Content Meta-Data

Hello,

Is it possible to change the 'Director' field from the Content Meta-Data (page 15 of the ComponentReference.pdf manual) to 'Producer'? As I understand it, those attributes are standard, and they cannot be altered.
Practically, I want to display 'Producer' instead of 'Director' on my channel.

Thank you,
Florin

Re: Content Meta-Data

You can't change the meta-data attribute, but you can change the label on the springboard. Look for the SpringboardDirectorLabel in the theme attributes.

Re: Content Meta-Data

I tried what you said but it isn't working 😞 . Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

Sub initTheme()

app = CreateObject("roAppManager")
theme = CreateObject("roAssociativeArray")

theme.OverhangOffsetSD_X = "72"
theme.OverhangOffsetSD_Y = "45"
theme.OverhangSliceSD = "pkg:/images/a.png"
theme.OverhangLogoSD = "pkg:/images/b.png"

theme.OverhangOffsetHD_X = "123"
theme.OverhangOffsetHD_Y = "68"
theme.OverhangSliceHD = "pkg:/images/a.png"
theme.OverhangLogoHD = "pkg:/images/b.png"

theme.SpringboardDirectorLabel = "Producer"

app.SetTheme(theme)

End Sub


Thanks,
Florin

Re: Content Meta-Data

Ok, so now that you told me the right keyword "SpringboardDirectorLabel", I searched the forum and I found the solution. It works with:
theme.SpringboardDirectorText = "Producer"

It seems that's a bug but the deprecated label works.
Again, many thanks!
