| | Posted: | | | | Am I the only one with some DVD's in my collection that are gifts? There should be an option to mark a DVD as a gift. Normally you don't know what price was paid for gifts you received, nor the purchase date. |

| | Posted: | | | | I normally just enter these as costing me £0, as I didn't pay for them - but you know, that does sound like a good idea. It would be nice to be able to mark DVDs as being gifts.  |

| | Posted: | | | | I have a retailer called "Gift". Unfortunately there's no standard filter for retailer (yet?), but I think Mark Harrison's Database Query plugin can give you more info. |

| | Posted: | | | | What would be wrong with having an option to this field, where you could title it what you want. Personally I am not that bothered about the Purchase Date, I would rather have the last watched date put in this field, thats what I use it for anyway. I know we have the watched and view history, but I would just like the watched date showing up on the main profile of each dvd when selected. Not sure if that makes any sense, but basically for me Last Watched Date instead of Purchase Date. You could also have one for gift as well. |

Simple. The firts dvd y buy, I can't remenber how much I pay. Think i pay in pesetas and no in Euros. Is y put 0,01, the reports of descount mark 99% with that titles, but with 0 ignored to calcules. Gift and press report will be good idea. |

Yepp, that's my solution too, as DoP I put in the date on which I received the gift. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

I also have gift in retailers... it would be nice if we were able to filter on it. +1 (Pete, if you would get your phpDVDProfiler working again, then you could filter too  ) Additionally I add "from: xxx" (xxx being the person who gave me the gift) in the Notes field. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

Can you share that html window with us? It is an extremely simple one... and you may want to change background color and font size for yours... but here is the code... Quote:
<HTML>
<BODY bgcolor="#97b9e9" scroll="auto">
<center><font size="+1">Last Watched: <DP NAME="LAST_WATCHED_ON"</center>
</BODY>
</HTML> | | | | Pete |

Then if it's ticked, instead of getting a list of our retailers, we get our list of users to choose from!  | | | | Last edited: by northbloke |
