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

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.

Thank you very much for the answer!

I tried what you said but it isn’t working :disappointed_face: . 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

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!
