| | Posted: | | | | At the moment http://www.invelos.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Chester goes to my collection and always displays the first DVD. Is it possible to link to a certain DVD? If I, for instance, want to show a certain DVD to someone, I'd like to be able to give them a link which shows that certain DVD right away. Something like http://www.invelos.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Chester/?title=64 would be nice  |

| | Posted: | | | | You can sort of do it. I imagine you'd like the link to also include your full collection? As far as I know that is currently not possible. What you can do is have it display a particular title, and only that title. This goes to 12 Monkeys: http://www.invelos.com/onlinecollections/dvd/InBlue/DVD.aspx?U=3259190713512.9In order to get that link, right-click on any title in your colletion and select to open it in a new tab or window. You will then open that title only, without the sidebar to the rest of your collection. In order to share that link, simply copy it from the address bar of your browser.

Dolly's not alone. You can also clone profiles.

It's possible that there could be an additional workaround for the method already described, as a few people have investigated why certain browsers get stuck in refresh, but as an alternative suggestion the only thing I can think of is set your online collection up to sort by Collection Number by default then chage the DVD you want to point to to a very high number and do an upload. That way the DVD will be the one at the top and the first one that comes up. Yes, it requires you to do an upload before it will work so isn't very convenient but it's a start | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

Something like http://www.invelos.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Chester/?title=64 would be nice If you have a webspace capable of PHP and MySQL, you could alternatively use phpDVDProfiler. To quote myself from here: Quoting DJ Doena: Quote:
phpDVDProfiler is an PHP application written by users of DVDProfiler.
It parses the exported XML files and processes it into a MySQL database. then you have your DVD list on your own homepage.
It has additional features such as view statistics and banner generation.
See my signature for example.
PS: phpMyProfiler is pretty much the same but phpDVDProfiler is more commonly used. With phpDVDProfiler you can link directly to a certain movie: Either with navigation tree: http://.../index.php?lastmedia=012569832688Or without it: http://.../index.php?mediaid=012569832688&action=showOr just the image: http://.../index.php?img=images/012569832688f.jpg&mediaid=012569832688 | | | Karsten

| | Posted: | | | | @Astrakan: I had already tried that, I should've mentioned it. But thanks anyways @DJ Doena: I'd rather not.It's just a big hassle to keep updating phpDVDProfiler. And it's not worth it for just linking to individual titles. |

Something like http://www.invelos.com/dvdcollection.aspx/Chester/?title=64 would be nice Since you are sending the link itself, ( I would imagine in an email).. just put in the email the link and then the next line down type in #64.. Or another way for #64 to be first in the list is to renumber 64 to 1 and 1 to 64 ... Or if it is just a regular everyday DVD like A Bug's Life .. just send a link to that title via Google.. | | | In the 60's, People took Acid to make the world Weird.

| | Posted: | | | | Sending a link to someone was just a hypothetical situation. I actually want it for my website. On my site I'm showing pictures of some of the nicer looking items in my collection. The idea was to put a DVDProfiler icon behind the title which links to the page showing that particular title. The reason I didn't say this before is because I didn't want to give the feeling that I was opening this topic just to spam. | | | | Last edited: by Chester |
