Hi
Having purchased your product, I find it very nice, and easy to work with.
However there is some features I would like to see implemented. Possibly they are already there and I just can not find them. In that case I do apologise.
1. I would like to have the possibility to add actors from the database (manually entered as well as populated via a script from the internet), to a movie or a tv show.
I can not seem to find this function. Looking in the database I can see where I goes, and indeed I can manually enter them into the database. Then they show up under cast just fine.
Please advise
2. I can have one value in the genre and sub-genre. Is it possible to make the column in the database a multiple value column and then choose via a list of tick boxes, which three or more genre this should be in?
The maintenence of these could be done in the 'manage list'
Cant seem to find sub genre there either.
Please advise
Kind regards
Morten Larsen |

Hi Morten!
1. You can define in the settings to add actors to the database
2. When you import the genre info you they are add all to genre or only the first to genre and the rest to subgenre. The option for this is in the advanced script options or in the settings (haven't changed my settings in the past month, so I can't remember where it was). |
In order to achieve what is possible, you have to try the impossible over and over again.

Hi JDommi
Thank you for your reply. This is all basically about manual input.
1. I was looking for the possibility to make a joint in the database from an actor/actress to that is not attached to a movie, to a movie.
Where do I define in the settings that I can do this manually?
I have uploaded a picture of the db - that's the possibility i would like to have through the interface. Not having to edit the db.

2. Its not so much with regards to import and where it places the categories. When adding a genre or sub-genre manually to a movie, I get at drop down box where I can choose one. I was wondering if it was possible to have multiple value in the db-column. Then a sort function that's akin to the function in excel (or indeed access) where you can tick off several values that will then be displayed in the grid.
Picture uploaded of sort function.

Manually - I never have tried on both questions. To 1: Only possibility would be via MSAccess. I don't think that it's possible out of XMM.
To no.2: Same as 1. But try to add a | after having first genre selected. That's only a try...
*Edit: Switch the HTMLCard to Edit mode - Maybe you can do more in here. |
