Hi,
I found this module called LibDB and it seemed to be the answer to all my prayers. It doesn´t seem to work with 2.4.7 though... It installs OK but when I hit the LibDB link in the admin-area, all I get is a blank page.
So my question is - what is the most hassle-free way to set up a movie library (or music/book library) with a bit of detail, covers and so on?
Would I have to make it from scratch with one of these Swiss-army-knife modules that I keep bumping in to reading the forums ( like flexinode, views etc)? And if yes, where should I start?
Or is there another module which makes it easier for a poor newbie like me?
thanks in advance!
Morten

not widely used
If you look at issues, there are from a long time ago. I'd suggest you use something people are using currently.
yeah, I know, but the CVS
yeah, I know, but the CVS version is relatively new, though.
I´ve been fooling around a little with flexinode, and it seems quite powerful - anyone made a library with that module?
Been searching for the same thing...
I thought LibDB was promising when I first heard about it 2 years ago, but the project seemed to die out. I've tried flexinode and CCK, but nothing can really create a library-like database which can cross reference on many levels.
So to answer your question, sorry there isn't really a module or even a collection of modules which can complete the task fully. If you're satisfied which no cross-referencing links then I guess Flexinode or CCK could work for you.
bummer...
...really; one would think that there would be a huge demand for a module like this? Too bad I´m not much of a programmer yet. I´ll try Flexinode, though. Thanks!
I used VideoDB
VideoDB is an open source project on sourceforge.net. It has many features including integration with IMDB.
http://www.splitbrain.org/projects/videodb
I created a simple module for 4.7 that contains it in a IFrame.
Instructions to try it out:
Just copy the first code part and put it in a file called videodb.module in the modules directory.
Copy the secode code part and put it in js/iframe.js under the root drupal directory. You will probably have to create the js directory.
Then
1) activate the module under the admin/modules menu
2) enable the menu under admin/menus
3) adjust the settings in admin/settings/videodb menu to point to the dir where you installed videodb
thanks so much, but
when I click the menu item pointing to videodb, my browser tries to download the index.php file in the videodb directory instead of displyaing it? Any idea what's causing it?
never mind...
I moved the directory to another location and now it seems to work.
Thanks a LOT - I'm really looking forward to try this out. It looks great!
cheers

Is this working for anyone? I would like to try this. I am also trying to build a DVD Rental shop using drupal

Passing URL to IFrame
Thanks for the awesome scripts above.
Quick one, if I wanted to pass a specific URL into the Iframe to show a particular movie, how would I go about it?
I want to use it for New releases on my homepage.
Thanks!
