Finally, here it is! The very first alpha release for version 3.0. What a day. As previously announced it comes from a long way, a complete rewrite of the plugin. Better code base, better concepts, better UI. A lot’s been done, and still a lot is to be done! This first alpha only concerns the… Read more »

Lets start with good news: we’re coming close to the release of version 3.0-alpha-1 now, expect it by the end of the week! I’ll make a proper announcement later, meanwhile here are a couple of things I… Read more »

I mentioned a few situations in the previous entry when the plugin is used, but shouldn’t. There are situations when WPMovieLibrary is not the best tool you can find for what you want to do; it has limitations and weaknesses that could do you more harm than help. Let’s explain this a bit. TL;DR You’re… Read more »
A few months after the first release of WPMovieLibrary came the first requests for big features like actor pages and filmography, Trailers and TVshow support, lending process, advanced user ratings, scheduled auto-import… To this day none of these features has made it to the core, a couple of them barely existing as experimental extensions.

I’ve spent most of the last two weeks reading code from WordPress’ core in an effort to replicate some of its features and adapt them to WPMovieLibrary, and I’m… Read more »
Following on the old idea of a development blog, let’s talk a bit of what you should and should not expect to find in WPMovieLibrary 3.0.

And we’re stepping back because, although it would have been really nice, it was something fairly requested, version 2.1.4 will not include any real… Read more »
In the previous blog entry we talked about an evolution of the quick-edit process for movies. It’s been a few weeks since then, and it has taken a form that I’m quite pride to share with you now. I’ve always liked movie-library-type designs, with neat grid of poster and smooth info. Victor Erixon’s “Movie Service… Read more »
