WebTrack / News: Recent posts

- Fixed parsing problems from IMDb (they update the code on the site form time to time).

- Fixed some problems with quotation marks in the manage titles page.

- Commented some more in the code and fixed some spelling errors..

- Updated some information about variables on the "update" page and added some new ones.

- Added a plugin API for the "body" templates. You can now make your own plugins for WebTrack to display information how ever you want. It's an easy way to alter the style-profiles without making a completely new one. Only your imagination sets the limits now! Read more here how to do it... :)... read more

First of all, I have decided to removed the "demo" database files and cover pictures from the release from now on. This means that you can just copy everything in the archive over your old installation without loosing your own database. It also means that new user HAVE to have there own database. Smile

Bug fix, when authentication where set to 2 (only login when doing anything but search), if you clicked a "add movie to loan list" number you got the login but when you had logged in your movie that you clicked was not added, and the same problem was appearing with editing of titles.
Bug fix, when loading titles that did not have any IMDB information entered there where errors in the title displayed.
Bug fix, when adding titles and the MT Genre field were empty, the value saved in the MovieTrack.dat file made MovieTrack to crash.
Corrected some more HTML errors in the listbody_template.htm and body_template.htm templates in almost all profiles.
Added two new templates, one for the user management system and one for the user access request.
Added an "Add/edit users" link in all profiles (except TV-Track).
Rewritten the "User management system" completely and therefore removed 2 files from the system and updated the login_template.htm files in all profiles and also updated the . When you have upgraded to this version you can delete addedituser.php and userrequest.php files from your web server. These tow files are not used anymore.

Warning! Heavy updates in this release. I would recommend you to delete your old installation except your config.php (and your users.php if you have been using a login based WebTrack, how ever some editing will have to be done in the user.php).
Also make sure you have your databases, covers and trailers backed up of course. Smile

Added a function in the loan list window to be able to "get sizes" of selected titles.
This can be very useful when you are selecting movies for backup to an external hard drive. The total amount of data required for selected titles will be shown (A bug in PHP makes files over 4Gb presented in very strange sizes. So, if you are using for example DVD image files, do not trust the sizes).
Added a "Latest added" link on all profiles search page.
Added a "start" page in each profile instead of an empty search.
Added an "Add/Edit" function for adding and editing titles. Now you don’t have to use MovieTrack to just add a new title or edit some information in a title (and yes, the cover is downloaded from IMDB as well). However you still need MovieTrack to add "Media" information and/or do add/update multiple titles at once. You can download the database files in to MovieTrack again after updating information using WebTrack. I have taken the liberty to parse the characters name as well as the actor's name. Both will be presented in the actor's field like this: Actors name as Characters name, Actors name as Characters name... and so on if you want. This feature is selected from the update page (it's default off). The databases will still work in MovieTrack, even with the character present. It just doesn't know what are actors and what are characters. Smile
Also, if you are still using the 3.2 version of MovieTrack, you can not use the manage title feature. This is due to differentials in the database files, and you should REALLY think about updating MovieTrack to the latest version. Smile
Added more levels to the rights system, a users can now have rights to 1 = only search, 2 = search and use the loan list, 3 = search, use the loan list and add/remove/edit movies, 4 = search, use loan list, add/remove/edit movies and add/remove/edit users. The "admin" user in the config.php (mt/update) has been removed and replaced with a user in the user management system default called "admin" with password "1234". This can of course be changed from the user management system.
OBS: If you have used the "user management system", you will have to add the "admin" user manually the first time in the "users.php" file to be able to continue to use the system (see how to below). This is due to changes in the config.php file. If you have not used the user management system just delete your users.php file and it will be recreated with the necessary changes when you save your config.php file from the mt/update page.
Added a new set of templates in all profiles, see the profiles update list. And also with that a new set of "{EXPORT_TAGS}" were added, see the "How-to-create-your-own-style-profile.htm" file for more information.
Changed the Backup-Script routine allot. First of all it has to be named as it is when "downloaded". This is due to that I will run the script from itself to be able to create a "log-file" of the backup procedure. When the script is finished a file called Bakuplog.txt has been created showing step by step what has been done.
Bug fix in the email address checking system, all email addresses where discarded as not a real email address.
Some other minor updates in functions and the html coding. And probably some other things that I have forgotten about. Smile
