[quote]Ok. The whipping is done. Now the cover dates link to the releases pages. Well, almost. I haven't quite figured out how to make books that have an "Early" and "Late" September issue for instance both to link to September.

SWEET!



Haven't used it much yet, but will try to soon, and look to break it....err, "test it out" (sorry, use to be recruited to "test" new systems, and usually was able to break them, and that with next to nada in a computer background!)

[quote="skeets"]There's a glitch in your code to go to the previous issue. If I'm on issue #10, and I want to go back to issue #9, it doesn't account for the lost digit.

Also, almost all the links to Superman/Batman from the yearly releases index are broken, though this is an old problem. Just thought I'd call your attention to it.[/quote]

Both problems fixed.

[quote="FrankFlynn61"]IT terminology is a foreign laguage to me, but anyway ...

At the very bottom of the issue pages, the final issues of a given title show still display, to the right of the TITLE field, the arrow sign for the 'next Issue' - which, of course, is not there.

Same thing for one-shots.[/quote]

That problem I know of. I'm trying to figure out if I can add some coding that can fix this automatically or if I have to add something to each last issue of a series. I'm not a coding master myself so a lot of this is by trial and error, but I like to think I'm getting better :)

Thanks a lot. I had completely missed that in my testing. I'll fix that later today.

Darn. I still haven't fixed that? Shame on my. Will be fixed later today.

Thanks again.

There's a glitch in your code to go to the previous issue. If I'm on issue #10, and I want to go back to issue #9, it doesn't account for the lost digit. Example:

.com/Out/Out3_010.php

sends me to :
.com/Out/Out3_09.php

when it should be:
.com/Out/Out3_009.php

[quote="Tenzel Kim"][quote="datalore"]Odd question (and probably a TON of work...)

But would it be possible to have the month of the comic
(example - November 1995) in an index be linked to the
month index? (or, at least the year?)

I KNOW this would be a huge headache, but would help
a ton with cross-referencing characters.[/quote]

Not a bad idea and with the new coding of the pages I actually think that can be done fairly easy. I'll look into this to see if I can whip up something.[/quote]

[quote="FrankFlynn61"]... not instead of the existing Families (DC [Mainstream], Batman, Legion, Superman, Vertigo), but in addition to them - as the sixth Family.[/quote]

Don't worry. THAT part I got :)

Not a bad idea. I'll see if I can come up with a way to make such a page so that it draws the information from the other pages instead of having to remember to update two pages every time, cause as you can see I already suck at updating the ones that are already there :oops:

[quote="FrankFlynn61"][quote="Tenzel Kim"]Am I understanding this right. You'd like a big alphabetical list that includes ALL books despite connection?[/quote]

Er ... yes. If that´s not too much to ask. :D[/quote]

[quote="FrankFlynn61"]OK, I just did a check-up which indexes (indices?) have five issues or less before getting a 'complete' designation. I will post the resulting two lists (mini-series and regiulars eries) elsewhere, but ...
--snip--
Is this any help for the new Guide?[/quote]

Thanks for the post. I'll take a closer look tomorrow and get designations on the completed series and see what the problem is with the rest.

[quote="FrankFlynn61"]Could we have an alphabetical total title list combining all Family titles? No thematic clusters for that one - some DC Universe Family titles are difficult to find if you don´t know the thematic connections to the Crisis titles, for example.[/quote]

[quote="datalore"]And, also a headache, but a thought, would it help to list the titles by week published?[/quote]

Been considering that myself but not sure how much help it would be especially now that stories are seldom self-contained and run over several issues AND a bit too often these days the actual publication date of some books comes a month or two later than the rest of the books sporting the same cover date.

Having the publication date listed somewhere might be an idea though. Let me give it some thought. If you or anybody else have some suggestions along these lines please let me know.

Looks good, as always, all the work done is appreciated!
