Q: I set up a CD-ROM with multiple albums and included a shelf file.  However when I test the album on other computers and click on albums on the shelf I always get a 'Not Found' Error.  What am I doing wrong?


A: Before copying the file Default.Shelf to the CD-ROM you will need to edit it so that it matches the layout of the albums on the CD-ROM.

For example, lets say your CD-ROM will contain two albums:

'My Album' in the folder 'My First Album'
'Another Album' in the folder 'My Second Album'

Then you would edit the content of Default.Shelf (in Notepad for example) to look something like this:

[General]
Title=My Albums
AlbumCount=27
TitleColor=$0079003D

[Album_0]
Name=My Album
Path=%:\My First Album\My Album.alp
Colour=clyellow
Height=130
Style=5

[Album_1]
Name=Another Album
Path=%:\My Second Album\My Second Album.alp
Colour=$001DA30A
Height=184
Style=2

The % is used so that you do not need to explicitly state the CD-ROM driver letter.


NOTE:

If you want every album on the CD to have the same list of books on their shelf then you just need to rename the Default.Shelf file to CDShelf.shelf and to copy it to the main/top-level folder of the CD-ROM. It will then override every Default.Shelf file on the CD
