display the tv show name when browsing through season list

Postby el_cabong on Mon Jan 08, 2007 2:46 am

i have my database set up as follows:

/series/season x/episode

i have a text box (above the database window) with this currently

category>tvshows>series

now, my problem is as follows:
after i select the show, it displays the seasons.. but the text box is empty, when i select the season, it displays the episodes and the text box displays the series name

how do i make it so that when viewing the seasons, it displays the series name

all help is appreciated

One way I can think to do this is to set up your database so that TV series have (for example) two separate data elements, say "TVseriesName", and then "TVseriesEpisodeNumber" (even add a third element for the season number...)

Then use category>TVseries>TVseriesName and separately category>TVseries>TVseriesEpisodeNumber to display the separate info.

This should be especially easy to set up if you use Ant Movie Catalog to manage your TV series database - the xant plugin then lets you import the data to category variables of your own choice.
