Continent Collections

The continent Default Collection File is used to dynamically create collections based on the countries within your library. The collection aims to be inclusive, with all 230 countries incorporated into seven continents.

This file has a Show Library Counterpart.

Requirements & Recommendations

Supported Library Types: Movie

Collections Section 082

Collection Key Description
Continent Collections separator Separator Collection to denote the Section of Collections.
<<Continent>>
Example: South America
<<Continent>>
Example: South America
Collection of Movies that have this Continent.
Other Continents other Collection of Movies that are in other uncommon Continents.

Config

The below YAML in your config.yml will create the collections:

libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: continent

Color Style

Below is a screenshot of the alternative Color (color) style which can be set via the style template variable.

Template Variables

Template Variables can be used to manipulate the file in various ways to slightly change how it works without having to make your own local copy.

Note that the template_variables: section only needs to be used if you do want to actually change how the defaults work. Any value not specified will use its default value if it has one if not it's just ignored.

??? abstract "Variable Lists (click to expand)"

* **File-Specific Template Variables** are variables available specifically for this PMM Defaults file.

* **Shared Template Variables** are additional variables shared across the PMM Defaults.

* **Shared Separator Variables** are additional variables available since this Default contains a 
[Separator](../separators.md).

???+ example "Example Template Variable Amendments"

The below is an example config.yml extract with some Template Variables added in to change how the file works.

Click the :fontawesome-solid-circle-plus: icon to learn more

```yaml
libraries:
  Movies:
    collection_files:
      - pmm: continent
        template_variables:
          use_other: false #(1)!
          use_separator: false #(2)!
          style: color #(3)!
          exclude:
            - Europe #(4)!
          sort_by: title.asc
```

1.  Do not create the "Other Continents" collection
2.  Do not create a "Continent Collections" separator
3.  Set the [Color Style](#color-style)
4.  Exclude "Europe" from the list of collections that are created

Default Values

These are lists provided for reference to show what values will be in use if you do no customization. These do not show how to change a name or a list.
