Purely a technical question:
What are all the fields currently used in the release database? Is there a media-type field or other special fields (past the one for separating out boxsets)? How does the system build titles on the listing page and how many different fields are used? Is the entry page all text strings or are there selectors like dropdowns and checkboxes? Yes, I'm feeling especially nosey. Well that and I've got an idea but I want to make sure it's not already in use. |

The release database is somewhat of a relic. It was one of the first database-driven sections to be added when ANN was refactored to php pages in 2000. The fields include:
title distributor (id to sub-table) vol. number total volumes format (e.g. DVD) msrp running time release date pre-order date description In the release list we're displaying the entries based on a combination of the release date, the title and the distributor. So you could display something like all titles beginning with A released by ADV in 2004. For the boxset page, we're actually cheating and displaying all releases that contain "box" in the title
