Netflix Queue For Expression Engine
Some switchers to EE have asked me whether I could update my MT Netflix Plugin to work with EE. The fact is, I just don't have the time to do that right. At least not right at the moment. But, I wanted to help out, and this kind of thing is so easy to do in Perl, that I kludged up a CGI script that you can call from PHP to check your Netflix Queue.
See my Netflix Queue Here. A thrill ain't it? That queue is the same as it was a year ago ... arrgghh ...
Oh, and this should work for any website using php, like WordPress.
Note 6/17/04: Paul has released a great php NetFlix Plugin for EE which does all this and more, with much greater convenience, needless to say!
Read more if you want to use this script on your own site ...

I was wondering if there was any way to show the list of movies currently out instead of the queue. If not, that is cool, just thought I would ask. |

Yes, I haven’t bothered porting the Outstanding and History scripts over since the Expression Engine plugin does all that very nicely. But, I see that you are on WordPress which makes me think there is not a good plugin or script for that yet. Really, it should be done with PHP alone, as Paul did for EE, just for simplicity’s sake, but I have done it with the Perl scripts because I maintain them anyway for MT. When I get a chance later in the week, I will see if I can combine all three functions in one script. I hadn’t bothered because I didn;t think there was any interest, but it should be easy enough. I’ll post them here ... |

Thanks for the help, I am using WP so after looking at the EE script, I was a bit confused as to if I could apply that to WP or not. Thanks for your help. |

Oscar, thank you for the code! I would like to split the queue from the movies I have out. I see that you had plans to work on that code last month...any progress? I have a page for my queue and would like to have the option of putting the movies I have on that page as well as having it on my sidebar through an include. Does that make sense?
Thanks for everything! |

Hi Sara - Yes, I have been totally swamped with work as I gear up to go on vacation on Friday. If I get a little downtime on vacation, I will put all that code together, or else in August when things are generally quiet for me. It shouldn’t be at all difficult - it just requires a few uninterrupted hours to organize everything and create a reasonable interface. I will do my best to hurry it along ... |

Please don’t think I’m trying to rush you, Oscar, just asking. |
