wolter Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 Hi there, we?re currently developing a DVD store. Next to displaying the manaufacturers (changed to producers) we would like to add an infobox in the same style showing cast members. Each individual cast member should be listed in a drop down menu. We would like to have this infobox added to the admin section, so we can easily add and remove actors from the list. Is there any contribution available that can accomplish this? I?ve been through a lot of them but nothing seems to offer what we?re searching for. Thanx in advance, Wolter Quote
mattice Posted June 3, 2003 Posted June 3, 2003 It will require some serious changes to the osC core. First you need to create a new table that holds the actors, then there needs to be a reference table which matches actors to films. Then you will need to write a new set of functions that are able to pull the data from the db. Getting them into a dropdown box is the easy part ;) For the Admin I would make a simple extension to the Add Product page that gives you the ability to select existing actors (dropdown again) or add a new one (otherwise you'll end up with Harvey Keitel and Keitel Harvey etc.) To my knowledge there is no contribution available that can be used as a base for this all. Hope this makes things a bit clearer. Mattice Quote "Politics is the art of preventing people from taking part in affairs which properly concern them"
wolter Posted June 3, 2003 Author Posted June 3, 2003 Mmm, thanx for the reply. Your answer however does not make me a happy man :cry: I?m not that much of a programmer so messing up the original php scripting can?t be trusted to me. In elk geval bedankt (thanx anyway), Wolter Quote
