About Collectorz.com XSL Templates
XSL Templates are files defining a layout and look for showing, printing or exporting items in your collection. They are used in 3 different situations in the Collectorz.com programs:
- Details View: This is the lower right part of the main screen, where it shows a nice graphical view of the information of the currently selected item. XSL templates are used to define the look of this part of the screen. Right click the Details View to select a different template.
- Printing: When printing lists of items, XSL templates are used to provide you with multiple different report layouts to choose from.
- Exporting to HTML: With the HTML exporting features you can quickly create nice looking webpages listing your items, each item linking to a separate "detail" page about that item. The look and feel of these webpages are defined by XSL templates. The Export to HTML screen lets you choose from different templates for both the list and the details pages.
Creating your own templates
A nice selection of templates are included with the program, so that you can choose which look suits you the best. But you can also create your templates, either from scratch or by modifying existing templates. This gives you even greater control over the way you want your items to look.

Using templates created by other Game Collector users
If you don't want to go through the trouble of creating your own templates, you might want to take a look at this list of templates created by other Game Collector users.
Here's how to use one of these templates in Game Collector:
- Close Game Collector
- Click the download link to download a zip file containing the XSL template and other files.
- Unzip the zip-file and place its contents in the following folder:
- Windows:
\My Documents\Game Collector\Templates\
- Mac:
~/Library/Application Support/Game Collector/Templates.
Make sure you preserve the folder structure in the zipfile ("Use Folder Names" option in WinZip).
- Start Game Collector. The new template will now show up in the program. Note that the type of the template (view, export or print) determines where it shows up in the program.
- Note: some templates may have specific installation instructions found in the zip files (such as readme.txt files).
