The OFDb back-end is built with Drupal, a flexible and powerful CMS. As of now, front- and back-end are two quite separate instances. Content is edited on https://admin.ofdb.cc (back-end) and https://ofdb.cc (front-end) fetches all data from Drupal's JSON:API core module.

In our back-end you can register an account a start contributing. By doing so, you agree to our contributor terms. After logging in, you find yourself on your profile page. You are now ready to contribute.

The navigation should be straight forward. It contains two links, content and structure (with more links that appear when you hover them). The first one lets you create and edit movies, TV shows, and episodes. Under structure, however, you find all other content that can be referenced by movies, TV shows and episodes (like companies or genres).

If you want to edit a film, simply click the content link and you'll be able to search and filter through the film database. To add an entry, you can simply chose the appropriate link that appears after hovering the content link.

The structure link, however, doesn't have “add …” links. You simply click the link of the taxonomy where you want to add or edit content, and will see a content list and a “add term” button to add new content after the page loaded.

Regarding English spelling, we follow the UK orthography, i.e. “colour” instead of “color”, or “prioritise” instead of “prioritize”.
