Since we have a release now I have some updated files. Also made some changes, like bigger posters.
Link to my site based on these files is in my sig.


Needed files:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/mdmzyztym4n/pkdb for 0.9.9.8 - website files.zip
http://www.mediafire.com/file/z2dmwgmmhjg/templates -  sql scripts.zip

The files are just proof of concept and will have to be adapted for other databases. Ask me if you decide to try.


EDIT: Updated first post with a step-by-step description and the new files

Very impressive! 8)

A few suggestions...

Suppress list items when count is 0.

This update is confusing to the newcomer. It seems this is an update to an original set of files—but where are they? The best practise is to always update the first message in the topic with the current release. I don't think it would hurt to delete the original text of your first message and turn it into a "latest release" message. You can still post an update for existing users here, but also link back to the original message for those needing a "full install."

Fixed the first post so the thread is a little more welcoming.

About suppressing items, that may be difficult though I see your point. The left side panels do have a "threshold value", but that only applies to the unfiltered selection.

hello.

Following a wise advice, i decided to move from AMC to PVD today.
I've been using AMC for quite some years now, and using your template.
As you probably know, some people are still working on improving your template over there too, and I did make some changes for my personal use too.

My worst regret about leaving AMC was to be unable to adapt my template (as Im really bad with php), but then I found your thread here.
I thought you disappeared, but you just moved to here :)

So, anyway, thanks a lot for your work, I can keep using PK MovieDB !! Also, I realize that the changes made on the template are very similar to the changes I made myself, so your version is pretty much what Im looking for.

Just a little question. Do you plan on adding pages for people ? That would be awesome too. Probably quite a lot of work, but I believe in you  ;D

I have a couple of questions:

1) About characters encoding.
I don't know much about char encodes, so forgive me.
I need to include foreign characters to my DB, mostly east asian (chinese, japanese). As you know, AMC was not friendly with those so I had to enter unicodes in the database so that the characters show up in your template.
Now, I see I will have to do changes in the charset to make your template work fine, will it be ok for east asian chars ?

2) Countries
Someone in AMC forums made some changes in your script so that multiple countries can me supported better.
I see your script still doesnt do that, neither in the menu or in the movie details.
I don't want to have "France, Italy" or "USA, UK" in my menu, i prefer that my movies enter both category separatly.
Is it possible to change that ? I see your menu has both "France, Italy" and "Italy, France", I suppose it annoys you too :)
In the details, it's not as big a problem, but if countries were not grouped, that would be better too.

3) Fields
Could you possibly list all the fields you are using for your script in here ?
I'm willing to start my list from scrap (because my amc database as a lot of problems imo), and I would like to start it with the same pattern as yours :)

THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH (oops caplocks)
btw, i just saw the support of tags, it's very nice too.
