That's a seperate database table. I would need to write a similar script for these if there's interest.

[addicted2dvd]

I would be interested... though I would also be interested in some sort of list for them as well like the banner across the top for movie reviews.

Personally I keep a list of my reviews here, which I update monthly through generating the posts out of my database.

Would be nice to have a way to add these links to the database table.

BTW: You can show your inserted reviews this way:

Wow! I really did do a lot of reviews over here!

Now there's also the possibility of adding new TV show reviews.

In the past I've always used the thread title as title for this one, so the reviews on the front page looked like this:



where the blue one is the title given in the insert.php

What you do now is up to you, just make it meaningful.

Just out of dumb curiosity... wish there was also a total count on that page. But not about to count them to find out.

Cool! Thanks! Will there also be a review list for TV Shows like there is movies? I personally think it would be helpful.

Only if there's popular demand.

Well guess we will have to wait and see then. I personally would like an easy way to check out reviews for a show. Would help to pick out new series I may want to buy... as well as check to see what others think before blind buying a series. of course this is no different then how it is for movie reviews. I couldn't say how many movies I got because of reviews here!

I just started adding mine and have run into a small problem. When two reviews are located in the same post, it won't let you start another addition for the second review in the post. I get an error message stating

Error:
Topic/Message ID 6972 / 150785 already exists as "The Tale of Zatoichi" by Antares

This is the post I'm talking about...

Could you add something that lets you bypass this error so I can add the second review in the post?

I've modified the title of this entry so both titles are mentioned.

But the topic/message check is in place so you (general you) don't accidentally add the same review multiple times. This limitation has been there since the beginning of the random review.

So how do I get by this, I've written more reviews in this manner? Should I just edit the post and remove the additional reviews and start new posts for them?

This or if they are any kind of sequels you simply combine the titles with a /.
