I'm interested!
If it is just me, don't invest any time in a clean up, just send me the application like it is now.
I will test it on a virtualized system anyways. If you are interested I would of course give you feedback on how it runs on Windows 7.

cya, Mithi

ok, I been looking for this link for a bit.

This there would be a way to work this into your solution ?

So when you select a cover image it behaves like yours ?

Just a thought

Ok I like the way you have the imageflow, is there a way to scale it ? say if it were to run full screen and link to the dvd info vs just a flat image file ?

Quoting FredLooks:

OK, now it runs full-width (it figures out everything based on the width you want to display)

Clicking on the images in this flow clicks through to just the details page and

Clicking on the images in this flow clicks through to the phpDVDProfiler site with the relevant profile selected ...

Like I said, it is very loosely bolted on (only the 50 most recent profiles, no filtering, etc. etc. etc. -- it would take a fair bit of work to completely integrate properly...)

is that what you were wondering?

That's cool. It would probably not be very practical for large collections though. It took 10 seconds to load just 50 images. I wonder how long would it take to load a collection of 3,000?

DVD Profiler's iPad app uses a cover flow style UI, doesn't it? If that's the style you prefer, why wouldn't you just use that? As neat as it is seeing cover flow work in JavaScript, that widget isn't nearly as fast to load or smooth to interact with as native cover flow. And despite what Apple may imply with their usage of cover flow, it's really more of a gimmick than a practical way to browse a collection of anything. I know I always end up turning it off in all my Mac apps that support it about 2 seconds after I think "oh that's neat."

I think what might be cooler is a practical main listing, but cover flow mode for favorites or recent additions. Something like that where it's used for a few titles but isn't the primary UI. Just my opinion.

I downloaded and ran your Web Generator but unfortunately there are 28 .png images that fail to upload to my sight due to the fact that my web server (AT&T) does not permit files with special characters to be uploaded. 28 of your .png images have a parentheses, ( or ), in the file name and won't upload .

The image upload errors aside, I also get the following error after clicking on the second icon to Generate & Upload Website:



I think I figured out why I get the above error. It seems your program errors out when it gets to a title that has no Collection Number assigned. This is going to be a big problem as I have many, many Movie Box Set parents that have no collection number...the child profiles get a collection number but not the parent. My TV Series Box Set parents get a collection number but the disc level Profiles do not so as to not inflate my title count. I also have a Custom Collection Category of "Digital Copy" where I have all titles with digital copies entered, again without collection numbers so as not to inflate my DVD title count. I'll test this theory by creating another database that only includes titles with collection numbers and see how that goes.

Edit:

I was correct in that any profile without a collection numbers causes the program to generate the error "could not convert variant of type (Null) into type (integer)" and can't continue. So, I flagged 100 profiles that had collection numbers and exported the flagged profiles. I then was able to upload those profiles but, unfortunately, the site looks like this:

Collection

Ok I am having some issues using the built in FTP stuff,

First here do I enter the PW?

Next vs using your ftp bit can I just use filezilla to do the work ? If so how does the directory structure need to be in the upload location ?

If you're comfortable manually uploading, press the generate button to update the gen'd files then just cancel when it prompts for your FTP credentials.

Upload all the core files (the ones included in the ZIP), to your intended target directory. Also upload the generated files (search.php, data*.php, and ###.php) to that same destination. The search file and four data files are updated every time you generate. There's a ###.php file for each of your titles (### is the UPC); existing ones are not altered when you generate, but new ones could be added.

Inside that target directory, create a covers directory and upload all your hi-res cover art, front and back, from your DVD Profiler database location. Also create a pics directory inside the target (not inside covers) and upload your thumbnail cover art (only fronts are necessary). The art naming scheme is identical to the names all the JPGs already have in the DVD Profiler database.

Edit: Changed name. I forgot that the sort files are actually named data*.php, not sort*.php. And I forgot that the thumbnails are actually in a pics directory, not thumbs.
