Hi,

About you first post, I'm unsure whether you think I'm the original author of the PK template - I'm not. Just this modified version and one earlier version for AMC (of course you could be referring to the latter as the one you've been using).

1) I've never had to deal with asian characters, but I have no trouble with special characters from e.g. Turkish or Icelandic. Just make sure the exported sql file is saved as unicode, and that the database is also unicode.
Or are you referring to text in the template itself, like headers?

2) I've only recently noticed this as a problem, I don't think it used to be like that. Maybe something changed at imdb lately? It is certainly annoying, and I will try to dig up the fix from the AMC thread.

3) I currently use only one custom field, "Ripper". Refers to the ripper tag of course. All the fields actually used by the template are listed in the "Fields.sql" file in one of the zip files.


About the people pages suggestion, would that be something similar to people view in pvd?
I should say that I actually suck at php coding too. I'm not alienated by it though so I can usually make minor changes or fixes. Not sure I will be able to code new functionality from scratch though.

thank you for your fast answer. I DID think you were the original author :)

My AMC database has about 1800 entries, but I have some problems with the content, and Im starting a complete new database. It might take a while, but I don't get much sleep anyway :P

I hope you will correct the problem with the countries.

I also hope (yeah I know, i ask a lot, but it is just suggestions), that you will include screenshots in your next version.

That's a great work you're doing, Im sure a lot of people is following your work :)

In case you're not aware... there's an AMC import plugin. You should be able to import just the parts you don't have a problem with—or at least the titles and years if you're planning to rebuild your database.

If I have a Windows Home Server box, how hard would it be to set this up?

That depends, if you have apache+mysql+php running on your server and know what these do, you shouldn't have too much trouble. I think my description is pretty thorough.


The files I've made available is my unedited template, it won't work perfectly out of the box since your PVD database most probably isn't structured excactly like mine. Be prepared for a little work correcting for those differences.
