Issue with external integration „allociné“

[Chris75]

@spenceur: the app isn’t connecting « status"disconnected », yet the cinema is found

[spenceur]

I’ll check that as soon as I have 10 minutes

Hi @Chris75,

Thanks for the report (and the screenshot, very helpful)! I found the issue

The « Find my cinema » action was indeed returning the Vichy ID (G028P), but the field check was too strict: it only accepted IDs of the type « one letter + 4 digits » (e.g. P0905), whereas AlloCiné actually uses 5-character codes that can have letters elsewhere (Vichy = G028P). The integration was therefore rejecting an ID that it had just given you → hence the « disconnected » status.

This is fixed in version 1.0.1 that I just published. To install it: on the integration page, click on « Force Update », then check that G028P is properly recorded — the status should switch to « Connected » and the movies from your cinema should display.

Let me know if it’s good on your side

Great, it works now!
But are there missing photos?

[spenceur]

Unfortunately, I can’t do anything about this. Gladys limits the size of images, and Allociné sends a size that’s too large.

And is there no possibility to resize via the integration and a bit of ImageMagick?

[Chris75]

@spenceur

gladys limits the size of images

As I like to understand, where can I see in detail what Gladys expects when creating a new widget in an external integration?

[mutmut]

In all logic, I would say in the SDK for external integrations.

[spenceur]

it’s in docs/specs/external-integrations/capabilities/dashboard-widgets.md, section 6 (images),

I deployed a new release that resizes the image, thanks @mutmut for the idea

[Chris75]

V 1.0.1
gladys: 12 films, 2 without a poster

Allo Ciné: 14 films

[spenceur]

@Chris75 your captures are in 1.0.1: poster resizing is in 1.1.0. Click on « Force update » on the integration page, the 2 missing posters should appear.

For the 12 movies vs 14: the Gladys widget grid is limited to 12 cards (widget spec limit). Movies beyond that are therefore hidden in the widget, it’s not a display bug.

The limit is in two places in the same file, dashboard-widgets.md:

• Line 169, component table: card-list accepts items of « 1–12 in grid, 1–8 in list ».
• Line 189, content budget: « card-list 12 in grid / 8 in list, no internal scrolling », with the reason: the card height remains that of a core widget, « content is trimmed, never scrolled ».

[Chris75]

autant pour moi ! indeed, the 12 films now appear

Since 2 films are missing (it’s a shame because you then have to go to the site to see all the films), wouldn’t it be possible to display a 2nd widget containing only the missing films?

[spenceur]

Unfortunately not

Two solutions:

• I develop a « Coming Soon… » widget but in my opinion it’s not the prettiest.
• You submit a feature request with a page system to Pierre-Gilles

I was thinking there might be other solutions to avoid exceeding 12 images:

• First, add text at the bottom of the widget like « …and X other movies: title1, title2,… » when you know there are more than 12 movies
• Add an option in the widget to display all movies / only this week’s releases / only releases > one week. By displaying two widgets with options 2 and 3, there’s a good chance everything will be displayed
• Maybe add a sorting option (alphabetical / by release date / by ratings) to control what won’t be displayed when there are more than 12

[Chris75]

For my part, I would prefer a single widget with all the movies.

In the meantime, I’m adding a « link » widget that points to the cinemas and that way I have all the movies and even with the trailers!
