| | Posted: | | | | When viewing the online collection, you see a few buttons at the top of the page. 'All', 'Owned', 'Ordered' and 'Wishlist'. I think it would be great if there was one more button for Adult titles. Instead of having the adult titles added to my regular collection and displayed on the regular list, for the people who do not like adult oriented material, it would be nice if there was a spereate button for those that wanted to see adult titles withought having to go through the entire list of 'regular' movies to try to find an adult title.
I have personally always kept my lists seperated from each other. This way it prevents certain 'little' people from seeing things they shouldn't when they are looking at my list for some cartoons to watch or something.
Another field that I would really like to see would be, besides the buttons named already, beside the 'Adult' button, how about a 'TV' or 'Television' button. In here would be a list of all the TV Shows I have on DVD.
As for adding these to the DVD Profiler database on your computer, I would think the best way would be to have them completely seperate just like the wishlist. When adding something to any of these lists, they would not show up in your 'Owned' list. In that case, maybe change the name of the button called 'Owned' to something more fitting.
Just some of my own personal preferences that I think are great ideas and I'm sure there are others out there who may agree with me, that we would like to see something like this on a future release. Thanks!

Zee you can do a lot of this with phpdvdprofiler. See my link for an example. Information about phpdvdprofiler | | | | Paul | | | | Last edited: by pauls42 |

| | Posted: | | | | there's a thread (a couple actually) for custom tabs requests. additionally as pauls42 said, this can be done online with PHP profiler (though you need to have a place to host your collection and be able to install php and mySql on the server. additionally as for local, you can check out a plugin that mediadogg made called MyTabs. Though just having another tab won't help with not allowing people to see it as there is no permissions on the tab. one such tab discussion from a quick forum search here-Agrare | | | | Last edited: by Agrare |

| | Posted: | | | | I just have to give my opinion on this even if it's not a popular one. If you look at my collection or read some of my post you already know that I don't have any problem with the fact that I like adult movie and exploitation films in general. The 3 tags in use (Owned, Ordered and Wishlist) are not movie category, but a view of where are your title in your collection. This system is not for targetting one genre in particular.
The adult movies are not a genre but a rating. An adult movie is a drama, a comedy, a horror, etc... like any other films. I don't like the facts that they are categorizing by their rating in place of their genre this is just a way to put them on the side.
If a discrimination is made for the "adult" movie, why not make a different tag for the others genre? This is exactly the same thing.
For the little people. I have watch my father XXX movie when I was twelve years old and I'm a perfectly normal and fonctionnal person. I can't understand what is the problem if a teenager see something sexual this is just normal.
Just my 2 cents. |

| | Posted: | | | | @AESP_pres: (no need to quote your whole post ...) I was with you up to the last paragraph. Then we part ways. I don't challenge anybody's lifestyle (as long as they don't mess with mine!  ) I think the technology should support both styles. As for the MyTabs plugin, I have put tab locks on my upgrade list. | | | Thanks for your support.

I think your best bet would be to have two collections - one for Adult titles and another for everything else. With version 3x you can do that. That way you could use different parental controls on each collection so that the little ones cant access the titles in your Adult collection. The main drawback to this would be that you can only upload one collection to your online My Profiler database. | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | To each his own, and its none of anybody's business what somebody else has in their collection.
If you don't want to see such entries, don't look at them. If you're worried about offending others, set the flag so your adult titles DO NOT SHOW in your online collection list.

This was obviously the best solution with DVDP 2.x but if you do this with the present version stopping the display of Adult titles also stops the display of US R-Rated or UK 18 rated titles (or the highest 'normal' rating in whatever country you are in). This means that, say, if someone else is checking out my list to make sure I don't own a title before buying it for you as a gift, they would have no idea I owned Alien, Apocalypto, Predator or Dirty Harry (amongst well over 100 others) if I set not to display Adult. Ken has said this is connected with certain decency laws in some states but has not commented further and, personally, I just cannot understand why forcing people to display real adult titles if they want to display 18/R rated titles helps with any such law (in fact I can see why it hinders in many cases). At the moment, because of this I think the only real solution (as per kdh1949's post) is to have your Adult titles in a separate database so they are available locally (just by simply switching databases). The big downside is that because your adult titles will not be in the online profiler you won't see any Updates to vote on and, vice versa, any updates you contribute are likely to be seen by many less people to vote on. If you want to do this then do File -> Open Database and select New Database, then just put all your Adult titles in that one. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong | | | | Last edited: by Voltaire53 |

And when you select the new database you have the option of copying all your existing profiles over. So do that and then select by rating, use flags, delete unwanted..  | | | | Paul |

The most bizarre thing about this situation is that when I hide adult titles, most of the mild, mainstream horror titles disappear whereas most of my hardcore horror titles are unrated and therefore remain in my list - blood and guts on the cover intact! |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't see what this would have to do with legality as Invelos is the only company I've ever seen do this and the ratings have no legal meaning in the US anyway. What hapened to the good old days where the user could set the threshold? |

Maby hes working on a new Online Collection that would eventually replace the current one alltogether, so changing it would be a waste of time. I can dream... |

| | Posted: | | | | ok I think we're stepping too far away from what I was trying to accomplish here in the first place. I understand what was said about not putting the function up at the top with the buttons for Wishlist and stuff like that, it's not the same type of function, and I see that point and I agree. As for using that PHP thingy, I'm not exactly looking for yet another website to send out to people so they have to start checking multiple places to see what I have, also, I'm not in the market for finding a place to actually host a site or files for me. I also know about using the 'Open New Database' and keeping a seperate database for adult titles, which is exactly what I do now, but the problem with that is, I can't upload 2 different databases with the one account. So, lets get back to what I was trying to do and explain in the first place...
I would like to have some type of feature for the online collection, so that all the movies I have stored in my database, can be viewed online, but different people looking at my collection can choose what they would like to view from my collection (example: view adult titles or not, view all titles including adult, or view all titles except adult, or maybe even view JUST adult titles).
So maybe it would be good to have a couple of check mark boxes below the current buttons for Owned, Ordered, Wishlist, etc., and in the check mark boxes, people viewing the list can choose to view Adult titles, or TV Shows for example. If you check multiple boxes, you view everything in my collection from every category checked off.
Basically, I have a lot of people that look at my list. Guys that I work with would appreciate seeing what I have for adult titles, and possibly thats all they might be ineterested in seeing, however, my grandparents I'm sure, would much rather check out my collection without ever seeing an adult title at all.
If you disagree with this, thats fine, but this is something that 'I' would love to see in an upcoming release of the software. I would really like to see a lot more options available for the online collection. I thing the actual software program is awesome, but the online list could use a lot of work, and a lot of much needed browsing features, and search features. Hopefully this explains my preferences better than my first post!
