- Movies have 2 visibility/display options Current or Hidden
Coming Soon
is calculated automatically based on release date- Add new movies with visibility Current
- Hidden is for future movies with not enough info to display yet, or if you want to hide a past movie altogether
But this is unnecessary as movies with no current showtimes aren't displayed
- I use PHP to upload image files straight to a server. With a develop & live copy of the site, the images must be added (committed) to git from the live site (or already be on develop). Otherwise making changes to develop & pulling to live will remove any new images or changes from the live site.
- I didn't implement the
$databaseSuccess
validation for php mysql forms on the adminedit.php
andindex.php
pages in themagic/
folder. I felt it wasn't really needed. - W3 Schools Uploading images tutorial
- I had problems with PHP not allowing Array constant
- There's the potential to make
tblShowtimes
NOT have auto-increment primary keys, but it requires a lot of info to make a showtime unique. Currently you can add 2 "identical" showtimes for the same movie, with the same time, post date, expiration date & dimension. This is due to the auto-increment keys & no checks for duplicate times. However I didn't feel it was necessary, as they would soon see 2 identical times appear on the site. - There may still be some lingering
LEFT JOIN
's fortblPictures
from when I allowed pictures to be optional. Now with the file uploads they're required, but theLEFT JOIN
's don't seem to break anything (for now) - Some images still don't seem to upload even though they shouldn't be too big. I couldn't fix it with the
.htaccess
file as suggested on stack overflow post 1 or post 2
- CSS mobile responsive, especially
header.php
on small screens
Some transition issues in IE when page grows/shrinks - Jquery/ajax to validate date, update showtime expiration 6 days later when changing post date
