I've modified and created various templates for my movie collection. I currently export a cover page of images, and a detailed page for each image by genre, or some multiple of criteria (e.g., new movies = movies not watched whose release date is within two years, etc.)

Is there any way to generate all of these WEB pages into my Sites folder automatically? Not a big deal, but it takes 1/2 hour to 45 minutes to generate all the sub-folders for each genre/selection.

Thanks for any help.

There is no way to generate the export for several different collections at once. Depending on how you are structuring your site, some of the work could be automated; send me a link to your site and I can take a look.

If you are into programming a MySQL PHP version might be a solution for you; do the layout once and then just updating the database from DVDpedia. There is a Bookpedia version at http://people.iarc.uaf.edu/~cswingle/books/software.php

Thanks for the link!

I'm familiar with php and very familiar with MySQL. Python doesn't look too awfully difficult.

I have php and MySQL running on the imac, & will give a try using the export text file -> mySQL -> web site dataflow.

I'll let you know how it goes. This mechanism REALLY opens up what can be done with DVDPedia data.

Thanks again.
