A new idea for the site
Published 08/08/2008 @ 15:54:14, By G-MANN
Your comment about reserving the first comment makes me think to something: maybe I should add a special "empty" comment automatically on each movie and vehicle page for additional pictures or info which are important and should be shown above the "discussion" ?

Note that it is still possible to move a comment to the top (only me can do it, it is a special page for that), but it would be easier if any admin could use that special "top" comment. Only problem is for backup of thumbnails: I only backup those posted in new comments, not those added in old comments.


It would be good if us admins were able to do that because when I did Goldfinger and Goldeneye, I wanted to add some thumbnail images at the top of the comments so people would be more likely to see them (as the pages had been had a long time people had already added a number of comments), in the end I just edited the first person's comment to include my thumbnails (I didn't delete anything important they had said).

The current page which does that is "dangerous" to use because you have to type IDs of comments, movies and vehicles, and there is no check, so you can "lost" things.
If a comment has to be moved, just make a comment below it to ask me, or post on the forum, I'll quickly do the change. It does not happen so often I guess :wink:
Later I may make something that any admin can use.

For http://www.imcdb.org/vehicle.php?id=1921 it is not useful to move the comments, there are not many above your pics... and you reply to the comments in yours!

That's alright, thanks for sorting out the other comments :wink:

But as I said, this has to be used only in cases where it is really useful, i.e. when lots of comments are above the pics, as these pics do not get backuped automatically when the comment is moved (same for pics added in old comments).
For that, I should find a solution too...

I know, it's not something I'd use all the time, it would just be useful to have the function there whenever I add thumbnails to films that have already been on the site for a while.

Would it take you long to set this function up so admins could use it? It would useful to me when I'm doing the Bonds.

Take long no, but there are so many things that "do not take long" that I have to do :grin:

Do you think maybe you could move this further up on that list? Pretty please? :grin: (although it's not that urgent so I don't mind much if you don't have time to do it yet)

By the way, how many things do you have to do this site? Maybe you could aim to do one task a week or something :smile:

I should put that list in public, or at least on the admin section.
Currently I really do not have much time: on weekends I help for work in my sister's new house :wink:
And in the week, at work I do not want to start to develop the site (surfing on it is enough :grin: ), and in the evening I just want to rest by watching a movie...

Does your boss not approve of you using the site at work? :grin:

It depends on where you work and what job you do I guess, some people can get away with a bit of internet surfing at work as long as they don't abuse it and let it affect their productivity (although some of my friends seemed to get away with actively chatting on message boards while at work), whereas some people have very restricted internet at work (one of my friends can't use facebook at work because the company has blocked it) or can't go on it at all, but some people might need to use the internet to help them with their work. And you always get lunch breaks and in some places morning and afternoon breaks.

Although if you were looking at one sixcyl's film pages (with the girly pictures) and your boss was suddenly looking over your shoulder, I don't think it would look too good! :grin:

- I am programmer so I am supposed to type on a PC all day long :grin:
- I am responsible of IT and network here, so it is me who decide what is restricted :grin:

Only thing that I do not control is what appears on my monitor. If a colleagues come in my office and sees a page of imcdb, he won't say anything about the fact that I watch car pictures, it is not forbidden to make pauses between work (or work between pauses...)
But it is not very serious if these are nude girl pictures :ohwell:

I don't know, if it belongs to this thread, but for me it would be nice, if inthe database there would be the possibility to send personal messages to other members, and, the second point, if you would have the topic "now logged in"

Adding private message (or at least the possibility of sending e-mail through the site) is something that I plan to add.

The "now logged in" is not really accurate, it is rather "logged in the last x minutes", technically once each page as finished to load you are not "connected" anymore.

Why go to the trouble, if you can already do this on the forum? :confused:

I was not even aware of such a feature? Are you talking about the database or the forum anyway?

Only "major" members have an account on the forum usually.

Any website (well, most of them, some like Facebook use advanced tricks to have something allowing to know who is online, but even there if the people just left the site it still appears online for some time after that)

That would be useful (if it were on the site itself)


This is Off Topic but I figure I would ask while I’m here. How many lines of code are in IMCDb?

(I think this was said before somewhere – but I can’t find it)

I do not know but the code of such site is not especially complicated/complex. And lines of codes is not so relevant since the page layout is included in it (it is not done in a very clean way).

Antp, are you still against putting movie title stills in the header of film pages? As I said in my first comment, it would look like the page layout IGCD uses: http://www.igcd.net/movie.php?id=10000156&width=1024

Instead of thumbnails I would rather use images displayed as a whole image, except shrunk down to 150 pixels high, like this: http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/2428/tswlm2vb3.jpg

If you don't want to have them in the header, then maybe we'll display them in the first comment of the page. Some members already display thumbnails of movie title stills, but I want to use an image like I've shown above (IGCD uses that size, it isn't too big but still big enough to see the details of a picture).
