| | Posted: | | | | I think it would be nice to have a "Rated For" field that could be displayed in the vicinity of the Rating itself on the General Info tab. Just a text field that can handle the reasons for a films Rating by the MPAA. |

| | Posted: | | | | That's a great idea and something I've always wished for. It's only present on newer movies, but it would still be nice to capture it when we can since you can't really read it in cover scans. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | Just make sure there's a checkbox for "Strong graphic bloody violence" for when the new Rambo movie hits DVD  |

| | Posted: | | | | I was just thinking that it would be nice to know why a particular movie was rated a particular way. |

| | Posted: | | | | I don't really know what I'm doing with this kind of stuff, but I hacked and slashed from northbloke's post here and came up with: Create an HTML window and replace the default code with this: Quote:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
//-->
function showrated_for()
{
var check = DP_Notes.indexOf("<rated_for=");
if (check != -1) {
rated_for = DP_Notes.substring(check, DP_Notes.indexOf(">", check));
rated_for = rated_for.replace("<rated_for=","");
}
document.write("Rated " + "<DP NAME="RATING">" + " for " + rated_for)
}
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="showrated_for()">
</BODY>
</HTML> And then all you need to do is put in the notes of the profile this: <rated_for= insert rating info here> If the movie is rated R and you insert this into your notes: <rated_for=violence, some disturbing images, thematic material and language.> You will get a window that shows: Rated R for violence, some disturbing images, thematic material and language. | | | ...James

| | Posted: | | | | That's great James. But I'd still like to see Ken handle this so we don't all have to do the work ourselves. Still, that's a great place to start in case Ken never adds it. | | | Get the CSVExport and Database Query plug-ins here.

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, I agree, thanks for the suggestion though.
Like I said, I'm no programmer or anything, but just a little text box.
That would be cool. |

| | Posted: | | | | Could somebody write a HTML rating script for me (because I don't know how), so I can choose these symbols within the notes?  AL  6  12  16  G  A  S  D  H  T As the script of James above but then with something like: IF <kijkwijzer=AL> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.AL.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=6> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.6.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=12> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.12.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=16> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.16.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=G> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.Violence.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=A> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.Fear.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=S> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.Sex.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=D> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.Discrimination.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=H> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.Drugs.gif' IF <kijkwijzer=T> THEN IMG SRC='$DPIMAGES.Profanity.gif' I should be able to choose one of the four age ratings above and any or none of the classifications below. For example: " AL" " 6 G A" " 12 G A" " 16 G A S T" | | | Martin Zuidervliet

| | Posted: | | | | The symbol you point out is clear in it's message, all right. I understand the icons for everything but discrimination. What is the icon supposed to be doing? Also, I wonder what rating that 10-minute film that's raising such a ruckus (Anti-Islamic) would get? | | | Another Ken (not Ken Cole)

| | Posted: | | | | I understood all the icons...I think they are pretty cool, btw...but I didn't get the spider one. Is that really a warning about bugs? I am not quite sure what 'angst' means...I mean I know what 'angst' means, just not sure in this context.  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

I am not quite sure what 'angst' means...I mean I know what 'angst' means, just not sure in this context. According to my handy/dandy translator website, "angst" translates as "fear."
