Hello Bendik, I replied to your last message on this issue in the help forum on the 25th but perhaps you did not see it. Just in case I'm including it here: 2010-10-25 06:15:35 EDT I mean the column names and column values and neither appears either in the Add/Edit dialog or the main presentation window. It's as if they didn't exist and yet they both do. The names and the values that populate the drop down listbox in the Add/Edit dialog are in the config.ini and the actual values selected through the Add/Edit dialog are in the Extra_Info table. Could it be that med is using a different config.ini on the server rather than the one on the client machine? One more thing. The server runs Ubuntu Linux while the client runs XP Pro SP3. Sorry to use this method but I didn't know of any other way to draw your attention to it. Sam |

Hey Bro, I think something's going on over at imdb. The program hangs when it retrieves info from the imdb site, when adding or updating a record. At first I thought it might be a db issue but the same happens with the HSQL and MySQL dbs. Sam |

This new label report fixes a couple of things: it converts all commas in the cast string to newlines thus placing each member on one line and it limits the cast printing area to ensure the label doesn't overflow. Sam |

Here's a new report. It prints movies grouped by genre and sorted by date within the group. I think there's a better way to do this report but I'm not sure if it's possible under the current table structure. Since a movie's genres are kept in one string the grouping is not as clean as I'd like it. You get groups such as "Action", "Action, Adventure" and "Action, Adventure, Drama" whereas it would be preferable to have these groups: "Action", "Adventure", "Drama". A film would be listed under all the genres it belongs to. Ideally the user would be able to select which genres to report on. One way to do this is to use the search criteria but that still doesn't solve the one string genre text problem. A better way is to let the user select the genre(s) and somehow pass that parameter to the report. The report title would then reflect the choice of genre(s). Is there any way to do this? Sam |

Hi You can save the database to XML, create a new MySQL database and import the XML file.

Hi I'd like to convert the db to mysql but I see no utility to do this. Should I convert to another format and then import it into a mysql db I create myself? Sam |

Hello again, I hate to ask you this because it's not a med related issue but I've been unable to find an answer on the web. I've been unable to edit records in my MySQL querries and I'm not sure whether that's a built-in limitation. I have no trouble editing data in the tables but not in querries, whether they involve multiple tables or not. In Access editing querry data is standard behavior so I expected to find in in MySQL as well. Anyway if you can help me on this I'd really appreciate it. Sam |

Hi there, Still looking at the exclusive use of the tables by med and I fail to see the reason for that. Exclusivity is something desirable for critical information and I guess some might consider their movie data critical but even if it was somehow corrupted by another access it would certainly not be unrecoverable. Anyway we're not talking about government secrets here. And all bases could be covered by giving the user the option of opening the tables in exclusive mode or not as part of the configuration. I also tried to determine how this was implemented. I've opened the med database from two different connections (MySQL and SQL Explorer via Eclipse) and they allowed me simultaneous access without complaints. Of course med groused about it when I launched it while either was active because it could not acquire (I assume) exclusive access. So this leads me to think that this exclusivity is not native to the database itself. HSQLDB documents a READ and a WRITE lock but either will still allow another connection to access the data as long as the lock is not violated. Furthermore, aren't these locks limited to a row, not the entire table? So how does med acquire exclusive use? Cheers, Sam |

Hi When testing I noticed that the cast can grow very large making the page very long. Maybe the cast should be cut as some point?

Hi I don't think it's possible to override, and I'm not sure it would be a good idea to do anyways.

Hello again, I've succeeded in connecting iReport to the native HSQL db which means the reports can be tested inside iReport without resorting to med. BUT if med is running the connection fails because med opens the db in exclusive mode. Which, come to think of it, has happened when I tried to open two instances of med. Is there any way to modify this behavior, perhaps with a command line switch? Sam |

It will require changes, but thats nothing new ;-) The report would have a maximum number of extra fields to support, which could be mentioned in the description. I'll have to delay implementing that, but it shouldn't be that much trouble.

I don't have time right now to test it out, but it's great that you make a thorough guide.

I've added the process for defining a datasource for use with ireport. If you have the time test it for accuracy. Sam |

In one of your emails you suggested defining extra fields in the report which would then be mapped in the GUI. Wouldn't that require coding changes? If that's not too much trouble it would be awsome. Sam |

Great! Feel free to add and change other stuff you think would be useful. It might be easier to actually move the help page to the wiki from the home page, as it would make it a lot easier to edit. If others wishes to contribute, they must be made editors first. Maybe we should add a "Do you wish to contribute?" notice?

Attached is the update report with an xmm.description and the page count removed. I'll keep these in mind in the future. The reason the message wasn't there is because I removed them when I got the overload message. This one should go through since you raised the limit. Cheers |

Hi I just found it it's not possible for anonymouse users to edit the wiki pages (at all). One has to be editor or admin to edit. Hopefully Sourceforge fixes this. https://sourceforge.net/apps/ideatorrent/sourceforge/ideatorrent/item/453/ Bendik On Mon, Feb 15, 2010 at 11:06 PM, Stefan Athanasiadis <rip...@gm...> wrote: > I think the info you sent me regarding the set up of ireport for med > reports belongs in the wiki page.

I think the info you sent me regarding the set up of ireport for med reports belongs in the wiki page. This would permit anybody to contribute reports. I would be more than glad to do that but I'm not a member of editor or admin group. Sam |

Hi Yes, iReport is used to create the reports. The Java code for creating reports is: net.sf.xmm.moviemanager.gui.DialogReportGenerator.java (GUI) net.sf.xmm.moviemanager.util.tools.ReportGeneratorDataSource.java (Data source which provides the movie info) Castor-mapping.xml is not related to the report tool, but to XML export. I thought you were trying to connect directly to the database, and not through MeDs? If you want the reports to work through MeDs, you'll have to create the reports like the other reports are made. (Using the same fields) I started creating a wiki page on this. Currently it contains only the valid info keys: https://sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/xmm/index.php?title=Jasper-reports You can edit this page and add useful info if you like. Can you attach the reports you've created? Regards Bendik On Sun, Feb 14, 2010 at 1:58 PM, Stefan Athanasiadis <rip...@gm...> wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to figure out how to include reports in med.

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to include reports in med. I see in the reports folder a .jasper, .jrxml, and .png set of files corresponding (I assume) to the compiled report, designer file and example graphic for med. I'm also assuming that ireport was used to create these reports as I've been able to load both the .jasper and .jrxml files in ireport. My question is this: how and where does ireport connect to the med database? The field names and their definitions must somehow be communicated for the report to work. ireport uses an .xml file for datasource definitions and I'm attaching one for your reference. It has definitions for an empty db, an XML, a CSV and an XLS. The closest thing I could find in med is Castor-mapping.xml but that doesn't work in ireport. At this point I've created a number of reports but none work in med. The report appears in the med report list window but once selected the generation window progress bar goes nowhere and I have to abort. Sam |
