@Achim: CountAs is stored in the primary table, and is used for the counts at the bottom of the upper-left frame (Owned, Wishlist, etc.) If you have ideas on where else I should be using the CountAs instead of just enumerating profiles, please share (for example I'm undecided in the statistics - it might lead to trouble with counts of zero)  Did you notice that you can enter negative CountAs? 

@Dragonfire: missing purchase dates can be handled by adding a few extra variables in the config file (basically telling the stats engine to ignore profiles whose purchase date is before xxxx) If you add a collection like you describe for your mom, you might want to add the collection name to the $CollectionsNotInOwned list so that the counts and statistics won't be applied to them also. This is equivalent to having the Windows program not count the collection in your owned list. That variable is documented in the siteconfig.php file (or you can ask if it gives you any trouble)

Ah the infamous doom song.

"Why is there bacon in the soap!?!"

"I made it myself!"

I will never get sick of that show.

Negative? I didn't know. Now that could get ugly real quick in stats, I believe you that. I thought it my replace my current dealings with the graphs, where I use the exceptions/rules to filter out unwanted stuff from certain graphs; I can just stick with that.

Thanks, Fred

Ok...I'll probably try to find where to get it to ignore some purchase dates..and add in the collection thing as not owned like you mentioned.  I didn't know those things were options.

Well, if you don't set the purchasedate in the windows program, then it looks like 01/01/1970, so you could set $monthspecialcondition = "AND purchasedate > ".my_mktime(0,0,0,1,1,2000); which should ignore profiles without a purchasedate (it only includes dates after 2000).

Ok...I'll try that later this evening.

I see that there are a few people using this but the forum over there is like a ghost town so the questions I've asked remain unanswered.

For the most part I have it set up like I'd like (it's a lovely little program tbh) but for the life of me I can't figure out how to do a "recently purchased" banner (whilst also keeping the recently watched banner) and make it clickable. One or the other I can do but not both at the same time. Can someone that has both working explain to me how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

I don't use phpdvdprofiler myself, but this post looks like it has the solution for what you are looking for.

[wewonit5times]

Cheers Tom. I have it sorted.

All I need now is to know how to make it clickable so that it brings people directly to my phpDVDProfiler page.

You use the same code you would use in a forum post:

Cheers DJ. You're a star.

DJ, on graphs, is there a way of getting phpdvdProfiler to ignore any profile that I have set the count as '0'?

My top 10 runtime DVD's excluding TV shows has my Star Trek movies added together. I want to get it to avoid movie parents and TV child profiles (i.e. Things I have set the count as to '0').

Any help would be much appreciated.

[DJ Doena]

There are some exclude filters in the localsiteconfig.php but for this you better ask Fred directly on his board.

I've been trying to update stuff for my sig..I run the update thing and it doesn't finish.  I've tried several times, last night and again tonight.  It keeps stopping after the same number and it won't go any further.  I don't have any idea what might be wrong.    I don't like that I can't get my sig or the DVD info updated for the banner sig thing.

[Achim]

Maybe a damaged profile? Is there anything unusual in the number counts above in the title list in DVD Profiler?

When you update, what settings do you use on the update page? Maybe it switched from "accumulative" to "always start from top"? Because if it just times out it should at least finish the second try. Hence my first guess at a broken profile.
