In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] I'd Give It "5 Shiny Stars" but…If we’re to stick with the coffee metaphor, you sure can use a coffee table to pile up magazines, but you probably won’t expect your Nespresso machine to make Irish coffee out of the box 😉
This really is my deep feeling about this: people asking for a feature is not a problem, at all. Requests and insights are always and truly welcomed! But people expecting a feature they should not be expecting means I may not be clear enough on the purpose of this plugin, and that’s a problem for me 😉 I built this plugin because I needed a tool to manage my movie collection; TVshows were never an option for me because I simply wouldn’t use it. I get quite a few even-friendly comments regularly about that “lack” and it still puzzles me to see how some people genuinely expect a feature that, to me, wouldn’t even come to mind.
But I get your point, and now that people are asking for it I’ll try to do my best to build something nice too; I just can’t help that feeling that some people are confused about what this plugin is really about, and your comment just happened to “crystalize” that feeling 🙂 But that’s also something I’ll address on a blog note when I have some time.
Anyways, thanks for your kind words and all my wishes of good health to you!

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] I'd Give It "5 Shiny Stars" but…That’s a bit unfair considering the plugin is called WPMovieLibrary and not WPTVshowLibrary; basically you’re downvoting a plugin because it doesn’t do what it’s not supposed to do 😉
That being said, TVshows are something I do want to make available; the thing is, it’s a more complex thing than movies: instead of one single content (the movie) and its set of metadata, with TVshows you have three different contents. The show itself, a variable number of seasons, and potentially a lot of episodes, each of these with its own set of metadata. That’s a lot of data to structurate.
This require a bit of thinking before even starting to work on it, let alone including it as a feature in a plugin meant for movies… I’ll probably have to release a dedicated plugin for that, once I’m done with the main stuff on WPMovieLibrary. I’ll blog about this at some point in a more thorough way on the plugin’s development blog to ask for user feedback!

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] Couldn't resolve host 'tmdb.caercam.org'It will be fixed ASAP. I apologize for the inconvenience; quite simply there was an issue with the automatic renewal of the domain name, causing a temporary suspension. I’m on vacation for a few days so it took me some time to notice the problem and get it sorted. Hope it’ll be back to normal in the next 24 hours or so!

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] API ErrorOK, thanks for the update barvela!

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] API ErrorHi barvela,
That’s not unheard of, that’s an HTTP error while reaching the API, so I’ve no clue what’s causing it; I never could reproduce this. What movie(s) gave you this result? Are you using your own API key?

I’m not sure I understand your request…

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] Archives: moviesHi v_4325,
It should be the case already, but it can depend on your theme; which theme are you using?

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] Integrate old categories with the new taxonomies.Hi llrajsll,
Do you mean to make your previous contents appear in the plugin’s Genre archives page? If so, you’d need to convert your posts to the ‘movie’ custom post type; there are a bunch of plugins that do just that: https://wordpress.org/plugins/search.php?q=post+type+convert

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] No Description in Google SnippetThanks area97, means a lot!
That’s maybe one the worst problem with WordPress themes, especially the premium ones: you can never be sure how bad is the coding and to what extend the developers respected the WordPress guidelines… I’ve bumped into a huge number of themes looking awesome on frontend, but with absolutely terrible coding backstage, making some plugin completely useless :-\

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] Display 5 top new release movies on HomepageHi jangkriklapar,
Does SevenMag allow you to place Widgets in your homepage? There’s a Widget you can use to show a defined number of the latest movies.

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] Cannot view or upload postersHi chie_ph,
In it current state the plugin only allows single poster download, using the standard featured image postbox in the WordPress post editor. Is it that part that does not work for you?

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] Widget Sorting problemThat’s not possible with the plugin’s current version. Could be added to the next update, though. Thanks for mentioning this!

In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] No Description in Google SnippetFor the record, the plugin doesn’t actually replace the excerpt; the replacement is made when querying an excerpt using
the_excerpt()and similar functions. If a plugin interferes with this, or the theme doesn’t usethe_excerpt()/get_the_excerpt()as it should, the excerpt will not contain the overview.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WPMovieLibrary] taxonomy problemHi SSJB_7,
Sorry about that. Can’t reproduce this on my test installs, but I can see where it’s coming from; I’ll run some tests.
Meanwhile, can you try editing the plugin’s
includes/classes/class-wpmoly-utils.phpon line 1308 and replace$orderby = "ORDER BY term_order";by$orderby = "ORDER BY tr.term_order";?
