RE: [Dvddbp-develop] OpenDb-0.13 coming soon.

Hi,

We can just add a new s_attribute_type of TRAILER and link
it to DVD,VHS,VCD via the s_item_attribute_type table.
It is all user data now.  No need to modify the item table
ever again. (Fingers crossed!)

With the move of IMDB to a plugin (OpenDb 0.13), it is just
a matter of parsing for the trailer in the imdb plugin and
passing the trailer urlparam to the item_input.php for
adding to the database.  I already have modified
item_details.php to request that the imdb plugin control
the display of the imdb site item link, via a call to the new 
site/functions.php get_item_link_block($site_type, $item_id)
function.  It should a small matter of modifying the imdb
plugin config.php $site_item_link_block variable to also show
a link to the trailer.

I will add the TRAILER type to the 0.13 release, but I will
leave it to you to modify the imdb site plugin to actually
pass it to item_input.php.

Cheers
Jason
