C13: Character info (text field > 250 chars) should be available for every role in the movie (in later release)
C14: Serie Tunes (text field > 250 chars)
C15: Status of a Series (boolean or tristate for Ended, Continuing, deposed) overlays some buttons on the edit window
C16: Poster of Season (text field) - implements #TAKESEASONPOSTER# and a new category in CoverManager

That is not a Custom Field and can't be added this way, because this information is not on any Level that is in the Database. It's not TV Show specific (every show has more than 1 Season) and not Episode Level specific. There would have to be a new Level (Table) between those to created (Season Level) with Season specific info and the magicscript function somehow has to have 2 parameter to spezifiy the Season number. The Cover Manager for Season has has to have Season specific sub category. Last bug not least the Movie Card has to add i would say 2 Variables for the Season Covers (Basename and a Variable with an array: number of Images per Season) The Basename has to be the same for all Season Covers of a TV Show only the Season Number and a consecutive number per Season has to be added at the end.
In this new Table (Season Level) also the
quote:
C12: Trivia of Season (text field > 250 chars)
should be added, since this is also Season specific and therefor multiple times necessary per TV Show. (Import function also has to have 2 Parameters to specify the Season Number)
And with long text fields you mean a memo field.  |

Yes, you're right.
I would even suggest to "free" all custom fields and change them to fixed fields.
And with long text fields you mean a memo field. True, too |

There's one more field I would add which links the series to one or more Movies. Take for example the Series "Stargate SG-1" which lead to 2 direct to DVD movies. "Lost in Space", 24 and "Get Smart"
are a couple of others.
As I said, I'm not sure if the effort to add this Link Field it justified based on the volume of potential uses.

Hello,
I think that is better, instead of adding the new field for the custom 1-11:
C1: IMDB-TOP250
C2: Release Dates
C3: Editor
C4: Repository
C5: Budget
C6: Revenue
C7: Awards (number)
C8: IMDB Link
C9: AKAS Titles
C10: Goofs
C11: Trivia
to change their "name" in the english.ini file.
This because all scripts and all data inside the database are already filled. |

Will the variable on the HTMLCards still be CustomX?
A mix would not be a good solution... |

Hi
after "occupying" the custom fields with the IMDB stuff (which I also use), what about giving us a set of new custom fields?
BTW: C7 Awards (numbers) seems to be dispensable for me as there is a detailed listing in awards field.
Bye Byte and Happy Coding

I would be great if Ale could add a ratings-base field, so that the Ratings-bars are always correct and a magic script function in the #RATING# and #EPISODERATING# Block:
#TAKERATINGBASE#=#??#
and a movie card variable:
_MOVIE_RATEDBASE_
So every script can add its base value for the rating, since every page has a different base 5, 10, 100 and so on. |

Well, that seems to be a real good idea.
I think Ale will have to do a lot in the next time... |

Screenshots would also be a good additional field.
Also that the Chapter Field should change to Memo Typ... At the moment half the info is lost on import because it's only Text (250 Chars) |

To pick that up again: there was already a discussion about the pictures - http://www.binaryworks.it/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=6775
Would be great if there will be more categories at all. |

Can someone tell me what Editor and Repository might be used for?
Why is Repository a List Box?
Thanks

Editor => Cutter of the movie. I don't know it's really long asigned to a custom field.
Repository: well, for faster finding the appropriate kind and as the picture must have the same name. Normally all possibilities should have go there. Like Spindle, Box, binder, case, etc... |

We actually have two fields for this. Repository and Location. I used Location to say Blu Ray Shelf or Box Shelf for examples.
Things like IMDB Top 250 are pretty meaning less to me. I don't acquire movies based on that. Something like filming locations would interest me more. |
