"X" to delete whole search term; download movie data file

    Hello, again, Charlie,

    Is there a way to download a file from the database that contains the data for all of the movies I’ve input? I’d like to be able to access this data off-line when I’m not able to connect to the internet.

    Also, I wonder if there is a way to add an “X” to the search fields so that we can click on the “X” to delete the entire search term(s) without having to delete each letter one-at-a-time. Currently, if I click and hold it while the cursor is in the search field, I can highlight one word and then delete that one word, but I have to delete the rest of the words in a search term manually.

    Best wishes, Art

    Perhaps one possibility for the first question above would be to download a table from the database and convert it to an Excel file, but I wasn’t able to find it using phpMyAdmin. Where is the movie data stored?

    Okay. I see now that the data is visible in phpMyAdmin. Because each metadata item is listed separately, downloading one table wouldn’t give an easy listing of titles, genres, run-times, actors.

    Is there a way to get a simple listing of the movies that I can use off-line?

    Hi azw,

    Depends on what you want, I guess. If you want an offline version of your library, you can just use the internal WordPress export tool (Dashboard > Tools > Export) and import the generated file to your offline library. If you want raw data, any decent CSV export plugin should do the job.

    As for the search cleaning X, I suppose you mean something like this?

    Hi, Charlie!

    Yes, that’s exactly the X idea. It would make multiple searches a lot easier.

    Originally I was thinking of creating a paper list of the movies, but now I’ll set up an offline copy of the site. I didn’t realize hat was possible. Thanks, Charlie!

    I’ll add the X thing to the next release then ??

    On second thought, setting up an off-line version of the site would require using WAMP or XAMP, so I think I’ll skip that!

    It’d be neat to have an automated way to create an HTML or PDF doc of the library’s listing.
