Finally things are starting to wind down towards the Holidays. Stargate is off until 4th Jan. MGM HD is.. well.. my part is done. Unfortunately there are some snafu's keeping us from going live.
This means I get back to the main site! Woot! Actually I'm quite excited to get the whole thing kicking again.
Writing a tool, for our content people to use. It basically does this:
Shows an alphabetical list (limited on the page to say.. 50?) on the left, with all the current "property" titles. In the old DB this meant everything that was a product. Not a good way to arrange stuff. On the right is two blank lists. First column you choose to add one title from the left, second column you can add to from anything else on the left list.
What this does is define a "master" title, it's data is copied to the new table structure as a title, and it's merchandise (if any) is added as a product. Then the subsequent titles have their data added to the product of that main title.
Simple eh? I am thinking of doing it ajax style, so less page reloading (except when you run out).
It will need another tool to pick up loose ends.. titles with names that vary so much they weren't near each other on the original list. A way to take them, and move them to the new structure.
Once all this data is moved, we can finally start looking to recoding the tools, and the front end. JOY!

omg, for the love of all that is holy, pls dont use Ajax.
(*makes vampire cross with 2 fingers in horrible ajax's direction.*)
Haha! Well there is a very good chance I won't.. since as always things will end up rushed and I won't have time. I thought I was the only one left who wasn't in love with Ajax ?! I became a backend developer to get AWAY from javascript.. :S
