I added over 40 covers tonight so far and Marvel is complete through page 2 (first 100 books.)

First three pages (150 books) have images. 

Page four (200 books) all with images working.

ok, I wanna get back to working on this. The cached site is very fast and while uncached I think it's still running a little slow, I can live with it for now. 

So, since the books per page is back up to 100, I'm now on page 3/30

(actually, scratch that, I'm back to coding. I figured out a way to simplify the if-then loops on the reading order pages)

haha, it's all the same stuff, really. 

This is the kind of thing I'm working on right now – it's really condensed down from what it was, which was a LOT less elegant (though this still isn't pretty.)

/* If this is a category
archive */

if (is_category()) {

$image_url="http://www.tradereadingorder.com/default-images/bookshelf.jpg";

$yourcat = get_category ($cat);

$image_path="/home/ftpusername/tradereadingorder.com/list-image/".$yourcat->slug.".jpg";

if (
file_exists($image_path) ) {

        $image_url ="http://www.tradereadingorder.com/list-image/".$yourcat->slug.".jpg";

    }

}

/* If this is a tag archive
*/

elseif(is_tag()) {

$image_url="http://www.tradereadingorder.com/default-images/dc.jpg";

$term_id =get_query_var('tag_id');

$taxonomy = 'post_tag';

$args ='include=' .$term_id;

$terms = get_terms($taxonomy, $args );

$image_path="/home/ftpusername/tradereadingorder.com/character-image/".$terms[0]->slug.".jpg";

if (
file_exists($image_path) ) {

        $image_url ="http://www.tradereadingorder.com/character-image/".$terms[0]->slug.".jpg";

    }

}

/* If this is a creator
archive */

elseif(is_tax('creator')) {

$image_url="http://www.tradereadingorder.com/default-images/creator.jpg";

$term = get_term_by( 'slug',get_query_var( 'term' ), get_query_var( 'taxonomy' ) );

$image_path="/home/ftpusername/tradereadingorder.com/creator-image/".$term->slug.".jpg";

if (
file_exists($image_path) ) {

        $image_url ="http://www.tradereadingorder.com/creator-image/".$term->slug.".jpg";

    }

}

 

and so on..

forum messed up the formatting a bit. 

yeah, the only really hard stuff is figuring out the php and wordpress variables. the $ indicates it's a php variable. Some are built into wordpress, some you have to define. I'm pretty sure that's how it works anyway. It seems to be working, haha

page five has been checked over and uploaded in the blank spots (500 gone through, many to go.)

I just placed the Jason Aaron omnibus based on the amazon info.

I'm gonna try to get some covers in tonight. Starting on page 7 of the marvel list.

I'm still not up for reviews stuff, but I will hopefully be able to do that again later this week.
