Movie Of The Week - v3.0.2

If you use this mod please Mark As Installed (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=247144)

I got the idea for this product from choccyclaire (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=236672) who created the Member Of The Week (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=224555) mod.

Changelog:

v2.0 => v2.0.1 - Added FORUMDISPLAY and FORUMHOME manual placement
v2.0.1 => v2.0.2 - Fixed small bugs. Collapse buttone now in proper place. Blockhead stays when above footer.
v2.0.2 => v2.5b - Added auto-grab IMDB information. Removed useless YouTube trailer link. Removed the need for a summary. Removed the need for movie title.
v2.5b => v3.0 - Everything except for the Rotten Tomatoes Link is automatically grabbed from the IMDB ID. No more manual template edits.
v3.0 => 3.0.2 - Added choice of automatic or manual YouTube trailer.

Info:
Movie Of The Week on FORUMHOME or FORUMDISPLAY. Easily manage the MOTW on your forum's homepage or display.

Main Features:
-Lytebox Cover Art (Automatically grabbed)
-IMDB Link (Automatically generated)
-Rotten Tomatoes Link
-YouTube Trailer (Automatically grabbed or Manually set)
-Admin Rating
-Movie Title (Automatically grabbed)
-Movie Details (Automatically grabbed)

Installation:
1. AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
2. Upload the contents of /upload to your root directory.
3. Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > MOTW - Movie Of The Week > MOTW IMDB ID

Enter what comes after /title/ e.g., http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139328

4. Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > MOTW - Movie Of The Week > MOTW Rotten Tomatoes ID

Enter what comes after /m/ e.g., http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10012063

To manually add the mod to FORUMHOME or FORUMDISPLAY use:
{vb:raw motweek}


To manually add the mod to one particular forum:
Copy/paste the code below into the FORUMDISPLAY template of the skin you are using. I usually put it under the {vb:raw navbar}. Change the red "x" to the sub-forum id.
<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[forumid] == x">{vb:raw motweek}</vb:if>



***Note: I have tested this on vBulletin 4.0.5 and it is working 100%***

v3.0 Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version that required template edits you "MUST" undo those template edits or lytebox won't work.

Nice work...it would be even better as a forumhome block. :)

[EquinoxWorld]

Would be even sweeter if we could some how embed a trailer video! Does the part where is the video summary parse html or bbcode?

[ragarcia87]

Hm. The embedded trailer video is a neat idea but wouldn't the video be too small? It's always worth a try. Ill see what I can come up with. As of right now the video summary does not parse html or bbcode. Possibly something to be added in an update.


//EDIT//
Added v2.0 with the Embedded YouTube Trailer.

[iguano]

it's possibile see it not in forumhome but only in a forum?

[EquinoxWorld]

How would you change/control which trailer to put? Is through the admin panel and you add the embed code there?

[ragarcia87]

Currently the only location's available are on FORUMHOME. I am working on being able to put it anywhere you choose.

If you look in this image: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=119967&d=1279903787

All you have to do for the YouTube trailer to embed is enter the id of the YouTube video.
eg. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_AerBW0EcI
(Copy/Paste the red ID into the correct filed in the AdminCp options)

Good deal my friend. Thank you very much. Very useful mod.

Error XML: Unknown on line 1 ?

Eeek. Sorry, that's a my bad. I accidentally change it from 1.0 to 2.0 when I changed the version on the mod. Sorry about that. Just re-uploaded version 2.0. There should be no error on line 1 now.

I am also about to be done with another update allowing some custom placements on the forum.

[RobbieZ]

Good stuff. It would be good if it was integrated into a voting system like vb.org's own mod of the month.

Can you please have it so it is in its own frame instead of just having the blockhead.

Thanks

Bugs:

blockhead stays at the top whilst the mod is above the footer option enabled
collapse is not in same position as the rest (picky I know :()
When collapsing 'Above footer option' mod will disappear and unable to recall until you move it to another location in ACP.
Need <br /> added to the top as it looks to close to other tables.

Will provide images on errors if needed :p

Thanks for the bugs report. :) Screeshots would be great that way I can look over the mod and take'em one by one.

[TNERatedEdge]

Where would this be on the forum? Would it be a tab?

[RobbieZ]

Thanks for the bugs report. :) Screeshots would be great that way I can look over the mod and take'em one by one.

1) Above Footer bug - No header

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/23.jpg

But when you scroll up its sat here under the navbar

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/24.jpg

2) Notice these lines around normal forums.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/25.jpg

There are no lines surrounding your mod.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/26.jpg

3) First 3 circles depict correct positioning of collapse button , the last circle is your mod collapse button in wrong position

3a) Arrows point to spaces between forums but none on your mod.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/27.jpg

The problem of the mod disappearing on collapse was incorrect.

Thanks

* I am using a hack to separate category's as normally they are stacked

[Veer]

I double this, thanks RobbieZ.

[ragarcia87]

Where would this be on the forum? Would it be a tab?

It shows on FORUMHOME and can be manually placed on FORUMDISPLAY or FORUMHOME.

Thanks RobbieZ. I fixed the small bugs you mentioned. There aren't suppose to be any lines on the mod. I have also but some space above the mod so that there will be enough space between it and the forums if put below forums. Thanks again for taking time to take screen shots of the bugs. :)

[project-Buckfas]

Anyone know if this works on 4.0.5 ?

It would be a handy addition to my site.

[COL NIL SATIS]

tagged..looks very promising indeed

[RobbieZ]

Thanks bugs fixed :D

* Please note that - Sorky Sub Forum List Control (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=233084) clashes with this mod if 'Below Forums' setting is used !

Above Footer and Below Navbar are fine but its better on the latter if you want to attract more activity.

* Nominated ;)

[promet]

tested 4.0.5 yea works with a single problem that trailer video is not loading ...

any solution for it?

installed btw.

[RobbieZ]

installed btw.

Works on 4.0.3... Problems could be that the video from youtube is not embeddable.

or you havent entered the video code correctly?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvgEnadE8vw <-- This is for youtube link

--------------------------- ZvgEnadE8vw <-- this is for trailer.

[promet]

edit.....thanks..

[RobbieZ]

Checked on my board. Video plays ok for me.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/20.jpg

Now im sure I read that the upgrade to 4.0.5 changes the way vbulletin handles video's

See this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2019974&postcount=608

Geek actually says it was 4.03 but everyone is saying this fixes AME 3 on the latest vbulletin.

I havent seen any other mods that handle youtube in forums or members profile's.

If this mod stops working when I upgrade then I will have to uninstall this lovely mod.

Shame on you vb :mad:

PS nice artwork :D:D:D can u share ? *edit* sorted :p

PPS your icons are in the wrong folder ;)

[Da-Vinci]

Only enter the Red part of the url and it works fine with VB4.0.5

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvgEnadE8vw

Also Youtube urls may look like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnJjYnzZSZo&feature=pyv&ad=5726383069&kw=a-team%20trailer

Again only copy the Red part of the url that is the actual video ID.

[promet]

i did it thanks guys....

[ragarcia87]

Thanks for the posts guys and the intalls :)

promet, I'm going to be looking into the reason in just a minute. Ill dedicate today to making sure this will work with 4.0.5 and trying to see whats wrong with Sorky Sub Forum List Control clash when the mod is 'Below Forums'.

///EDIT///

I have just tested the mod with 4.0.5 and it works well. The trailer shows up and it doesn't seem to clash with the Sorky - SubForum List Control. Not with the default settings anyway. I have attached a screen shot below of it working 'Below Forums' with Sorky - SubForum List Control.

[RobbieZ]

Cool, it may be some settings I have on sorky's :confused:

[ragarcia87]

Cool, it may be some settings I have on sorky's :confused:

Hm. No idea. Could you take a screen shot of the clash? Or explain the clash better?

[bada_bing]

How do you add this to vbadvanced ?

[ProFifaLeagues]

Installed and working great!
Thanks

[Britmovie]

This is soooo fantastic dont let it die why not have some way members can sugest a film and others vote for the choices.
www.britmovie.net/britforum
Great job.

Be superb to have that inc in this system!

[Veer]

I don't understand why you don't add outside border and shadow just like vb have with every block. Sorry I don't like it.

[ragarcia87]

I don't understand why you don't add outside border and shadow just like vb have with every block. Sorry I don't like it.

Perhaps today I can work on adding a border for those who would like it to have one. :)

[RobbieZ]

Thanks for your suggestion again Veer.

@ragarcia87 - Woo Hoo..

Info : You can use HTML in Movie Summary, (cant function <strong> or <h1> etc) but <center> and <br /> works, but it looks good.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/5.png

[COL NIL SATIS]

installed ..looks great ..thanks guys ...be nice to have the border around it tho ..top mod ..appreciate it

[ragarcia87]

***UPDATE***

I added product-motweek -borders. I didn't put it in it's own package or update because it's optional. If you want borders you can download/import product-motweek -borders. If you don't want borders then keep using the version you have.

[Veer]

[ProFifaLeagues]

Working great too with the borders Thanks

[AcidX]

Any way we could use it only in a "movie dedicated" sub-forum? :)

[ragarcia87]

Any way we could use it only in a "movie dedicated" sub-forum? :)

Yes you can. Just copy/paste the code below into the FORUMDISPLAY template of the skin you are using. I usually put it under the {vb:raw navbar}. Change the red "x" to the sub-forum id. I just tested this and it works. :) Please mark the mod as installed for future support.

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[forumid] == x">{vb:raw motweek}</vb:if>

[RobbieZ]

Absolutely brilliant :D

Any other projects/goodies you have on the horizon?

[ragarcia87]

I don't really have any projects mapped out but I am working on a huge update for this mod. :)

Working great on 4.3 using this to display in a forum section.
Great work, thanks.

***UPDATE***

The release date on the IMDB information will be relative to what country your server is in. The 2.5b update is purely optional. If you want to have IMDB information automatically grabbed then you may use it. If you are new and not updating and want 2.5b you need to also download upload.zip

[RobbieZ]

Excellent.

A developer that supports his mods and keeps preening it :)

2.5b Note: You must use the FULL URL for imdb for the mod to call the information which is : http://www.imdb/title/ttxxxxxxx (just www.imdb - will not work)

:) Thanks for the note to the users. I'll add it to the main post. Let me know if you notice any bugs. I'm going to keep it in beta for a little while to see if any bugs pop up. Would be great to get a screen shot of it on your site if you don't mind. :) How do you feel about the IMDB auto information? I figured it would make things a bit easier.

[RobbieZ]

Do you mean the bug screen shot?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/13.jpg
It also screws your navbar up :O

*****

The IMDB auto update is brilliant saves copying the plot info and look much much better.

Oh that's when you just use www.imdb. Nasty looking thing we've got there, lol.

[RobbieZ]

Okey Dokey

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/12.jpg

Remember I use a test board :D

[ragarcia87]

Okey Dokey

Remember I use a test board :D

Very nice. Looks awesome. :) I am working on another update. Hopefully this will be released tonight or tomorrow if I can work everything out correctly.

[RobbieZ]

I have a suggestion :D

You are using the double use of youtube - ie a video in lightbox and also a link above that leads to the external source - but it basically does the same thing.

When searching for sources on my site vbulletin search is very restricted as many movies are called The (something) etc etc

So we use a imdb code to search which brings back accurate results. tt1375666 is inception as long as the post has that information in it.

My suggestion if possible is instead of having a youtube link but maybe a result link (still trying to define the correct word)

So when pressed it searches for anything with imdb info of the movie of the week in it.

Search + this : http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1375666 doesnt work but

search + this : tt1375666 does work :D

[COL NIL SATIS]

excellent ..keep up the great work mate !!!! greatly appreciated:)

[ragarcia87]

Well guys/gals, I know that I've been updating this mod like crazy but I think that v3.0 might be the final version. If it has bugs however I will fix them and release sub versions for the bug fixes. If you find any bug fixes feel free to post here. :) Enjoy my wonderful creation.

Hm. I'm not quite sure I understand. You mean like have the YouTube link instead be a link that does a search for the IMDB ID on the forum? That's a cool idea. Maybe I can make it for ya. :) I'll look at making it work.

///EDIT///
I've got it working and it was simple but if you have the discussion thread set then why would you need to search for the thread?

[RobbieZ]

Your final update is fantastic.

Thanks.

I'll give it a go when I get home :)

[ragarcia87]

v3.0 - Note: Possible Bug Alert - I might be reverting back to not automating the YouTube trailer because some movies don't have a proper YouTube id and won't have a link or trailer.

//NEVER MIND//

If a YouTube link doesn't work post here and I'll see if I can get it to work for you. :)

[RobbieZ]

I thought all YT links had tt and then the number, the only problem would be the um-embeddable stuff buy you wouldn't use it in any case.

[Britmovie]

Ok www.britmovie/britforum the youtube doesnt pull any trailer in. Maybe this would be better to have as manual and auto selection. maybe even the same with others as well.

A great adition would be something where members can recomend a film and users can vote on recomendations for movie of the month. Or is this getting to complicated as its easy for me to say?

great work loving it!

[Britmovie]

Ok minor problem for me is I use vBSEO so where do I get the Discussion Thread ID from as its slightly altred. The last version I got working but can not rem where I got it from?

And if you look at the box outline its huge. Can I make it thinner or get rid of it?

Thanks sooo much again.

[Britmovie]

Ok worked out the thread ID

[Britmovie]

Thread ID worked out thanks.

[Britmovie]

As before I mentioned no Yootube is pulled up and when i click on the link I get a message on the yootube page

The URL contained a malformed video ID.

maybe it would be better to have the option of these pull ups as auto or manual?

About the youtube link. It's because the the site's api I use for this mod has a missing youtube link. If you will post the link here or PM it to me I can add it and it will show up within 24hours. The voting sounds really cool. :)

//EDIT//
Okay I added the Zulu YouTube trailer ID. The trailer should show up within 24hours. If it does not please contact me. :)

[RobbieZ]

Slight bug.

I used these details - tt1375666

Everything shows up beautifully :D

But when you play the you tube trailer it has embedding disabled by request.

I would suggest having an option to use your own youtube link source instead of the system pulling the info for you.

Screenshot of problem.

Can we have the title to include the year please ??

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/8.jpg

Nightmare on Elm street was made in 1994 & 2010 although the movie poster does kind of give it away. :D

------
.
Another suggestion - With youtube now trawling videos and enabling them to be um-embedded .

Is it possible to get trailers from other sources? Dailymotion / Stagevu / Googlevideo / Zshare - (note stagevu is DIVX)

Okay can I ask where it's pulling the yootube trailer from? Curiouse how you making a change somewhere fixes it? Would be great if it could be made to pull information as it does now but with the option to add info manual like before.

The reason why manual is needed to pull data as well is that some films may not have covers or even be listed with IMDB

You produce good pruducts the must be a good living here for you doing this.:up:

I'll add a switch so the user can choose manual or automatic. :) I'm using the API that http://www.themoviedb.org/ has set up. The reason I can change something is because the YouTube trailers are added by the users so if the trailer doesn't work you could just add it yourself to the correct movie on the site. Once the other version is made I'll release it here. :)

[RobbieZ]

Thanks ragarcia87

Any chance on the year thingy?

Create member of the week mod for vb4 :p

Um. The year is in movie details in Release Date. The titles on the website's api don't have the year in them.

About off topic: Hm. I guess I could update the code of the other one for vB4. They have the code marked as re-useable so I'll put something together and release it. :) It won't be as automatic as this one. It might just be the same mod but updated for vB4.


Brill mod this is also A1 support to which is great ..our members love it ..top work Ragarcia:)

Thank you :)


///EDIT///

Updated to v3.0.2
v3.0 => 3.0.2 - Added choice of automatic or manual YouTube trailer.

///EDIT AGAIN///
I'm working on a new version that will archive the MOTW so that your users can look back on previous movies of the week. I'll try to get this done as quick as possible. It won't be able to archive the previous MOTW but it will archive the current and all future MOTW. If I can figure it out I'll add an update option that will let you manually add the MOTW. :)

I'm trying to get this to work on vBadvanced CMPS, I've added {vb:raw motweek}

underneath {vb:raw navbar} in the adv_portal template, so it looks like this.


{vb:raw headinclude_bottom}

</head>
<body>

{vb:raw header}

{vb:raw navbar}

{vb:raw motweek}

But it's not showing, is there something I'm missing with this?

It's not coded to work with vBadvanced. I could work on an update that would make it work but I'm still working on the archive system right now. :)

For some reason this mod conflicts with dbtech's moods and status :confused :

For some reason this mod conflicts with dbtech's moods and status :confused :

Hm. Ill check it out. Can you PM me a link to the mod that it conflicts with? I'll run it on my dev board and see about finding a solution.

Sorry guys I've been away for a bit. I'm about to jump back on the frontend UI part of the archive system. I have the backend coded already. Just need the rest to be finished. :)

[Da-Vinci]

It's not coded to work with vBadvanced. I could work on an update that would make it work but I'm still working on the archive system right now. :)

If you could get it to work with VBA that would be great as I would like this to be visable on the page users & guests land on, which is currently my VBA portal, thanks for making this mod, it's really good and I've had a lot of positive feedback about it from my members.

http://www.themoviedb.org/[/url] has set up.

Hi I use VSA Chatbox and got this error in it on Monday night when I set the new Movie of the Week to The Expendables.

Warning: file_get_contents() [function.file-get-contents]: Couldn't resolve host name in [path]/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 310

Warning: file_get_contents(http://api.themoviedb.org/2.1/Movie.getInfo/en/xml/6234c0f30cff5246cd7ba4b759086a55/27578) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: operation failed in [path]/global.php(29) : eval()'d code on line 310

I'm just wondering if this is an error from there API or from the MOTW hack? I also wonder why it's appeared in the Chatbox?

I have to admit that I havn't seen this error since it was at the top of the chatbox for around 10 minutes or so then dissapeared.

[ragarcia87]

Da-Vinci, it's because a setting isn't set in the MOTW Mod and it can't file_get_contents of something that isn't there to get. :P

[ragarcia87]

If anyone is having problems please let me know. I don't know if the API is just down at the moment or if it has been updated on the way the information is displayed. I'm looking into this.

[Xtrigit]

Hello, would it be possible for you to release a standalone plugin that can grab the info from imdb? see #3:

Enter what comes after /title/ e.g., http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139328

Thanks

Currently this is the only product/plugin I'll be releasing. I'm still trying to get the bugs sorted for the archive system and things have been hectic around here. I just started a new job so don't have a lot of free time like I had before.

Working absolutely perfectly on 4.08 no problems whatsoever. Thanks Mr Garcia!

[gokhansancar]

i am using 4.0.8 and either it is not working or i am doing something wrong,
i have everything but i cant get the movie trailers and posters and info :( do you have any idea why guys?

[Britmovie]

Works perfect on 4.0.8 see www.britmovie.net/britforum

[gokhansancar]

ok, but it is not working on mine, it is not grabbing the informations and youtube video
what could be wrong? do you have any idea?

[ProFifaLeagues]

How are you inputting the address for the videos gokhansancar???
Maybe a screen shot of the page so we can see if there correct

For instance
MOTW's YouTube Trailer
Embedded YouTube Trailer would be 07XbSk7Rjt4

[betts02]

Could this be used if edit for say "Design Of The Week" ?

Used the SOTW on vb3.8 but no such mod for 4,x and would love this if possible

[gokhansancar]

Here is the link and screen shots,
somehow today youtube video started to work but the imdb poster and information part is not working still,

here is the link which i used
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1564585/ ( full link)

tt1564585 just used this

http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/skyline_2010/ ( full link)
skyline_2010 just used this

i am not putting the youtube it is working now

so what is your recommendations guys?

Use the full links apart from the utube ones (Ie http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1564585/ (use full link) also use the full url when doing Rotten/toms as well Ie
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/skyline_2010/

[gokhansancar]

i tried full links too, but still nothing,
i guess it crashing with one of my mods but which one i dont know

[Alibass]

Uninstalled.... causing conflicts with other mods and db issues on 4.0.8

[defragc]

Installed and nominated!

[Athena1984]

I really like this mod! I don't want to do movie of the week though, I would like to have a download of the week. How would I edit this to make each section say what I need it to say?

[notrick]

Why not make a totaly new page called Movies, where Admin can post movie information about whatever movie he wants and all and then cn have a thread dedicated to discuss it which will be shown on that movie page or probably a blog topic associated to it or may be article.

We can start with that and then we can do similar things for Actors, Actress, Directors etc.

[starman?]

Is it possible to add a cast variable to the code? In fact there are lots of variables but I can't find a list of available ones.

[FReeSTER]

damn i will like this mod but for Sport Event of the Week instead... but cant get it to work prop

[Krusty1231]

I been running the 2.0.1 =>2.0.2 release of this when it first came out. Everything was manual edit then.....

I have updated my board to 4.0.8 without a glitch or problem with this mod since 4.0.3 or so. It just "peters" along with my changes.

If you look around I'm pretty sure you can find the older version of this mod - it worked best for what I wanted - and may or may not work best for you.

[RobbieZ]

I agree Krusty, although the auto version was good it handles the API and will call to external source slowing the SQL down immensely. Manual - 1 Auto - 0

That's usually because you have no information set in the options.

[Gemma]

I had to uninstall this :(

With it enabled my site was taking approx 2.4 seconds to load a page, when I disabled it loading times fell back to 0.55 seconds. Not sure if it was conflicting with something else.

I only had it enabled in forumdisplay of forum X but for some reason my whole site was lagging.

Shame as it is a good mod

Ask Rag for the none auto version.

[Brandon Sheley]

thanks for the mod, it's running great on 4.1 pl2 in our movies forum (http://general-forums.com/f167/), the perfect addition :)

actually nvm.. there is an issue with the quick reply
my qr works when the mod is disabled, and doesn't if the mod is enabled
doesn't have to even be in the "movies" section

hopefully there is a fix, this looks like a nice mod.

[preemz10314]

This was lagging my forums to but i like this mod,, like stated above,,, where is this none auto version? and why not upload it for those of us who's sites are lagging after install.

[RobbieZ]

I have the non auto version but it's not my call to post, I would need the coders permission unless he posts it himself..

[preemz10314]

I dont see why he wouldnt post the non auto version if so many other users have noticed lag after install.. seems like if you want support for this mod you have to buy it...well how about offering a great mod then being rewarded. not forcing money for help..i really find this mod is a nice touch but it lags out..

[Brandon Sheley]

I'd just be happy it the plugin worked and didn't kill my quick reply
Is this not happening to anyone else that's testing this mod?

[preemz10314]

This mod requires a good amount of resources. At first install I was on a poor host. I have since moved onto my own VPS, and the lag after enabling has ceased. So if you are hosted with a host that has a poor server you will more then likely feel the lag of this mod. If you are on your own VPS or dedicated server you will be just fine.

[preemz10314]

It shows up fine on forumhome below the navbar, when inserted into my movie section it is above navbar pushing the navbar down? Any idea how to fix? marked as installed, just need a good host to run this mod without lag I guess.

Use the manual command {vb:raw motweek} and place it after the navbar call on forumhome.

This basically is way off from what I needed, but i managed to fix it anyway. How do you stop this mod from showing on forum home? I took out the code from forum home completely and only added it to forum display to show in the movie section but it still shows on the main forum..

[Gemma]

AdminCP > Settings > MOTW - Movie Of The Week

yep this is the fix...now it seems the rotten tomaotes thing doesnt want to work. the youtube trailer works fine... this mod is freagin headache.

[RobbieZ]

Is rotten tomatoes auto as well? I have 3 different versions of this mod, and what film are you trying to call to?

Make sure the short code you are asked to insert for rotten tomatoes works fine, ie try the full link in your browser screen.

The mod will break if the link isn't viable.

[preemz10314]

I was trying to do The Town, seems just the town didnt want to work, I tested with , Tron, due date, and a few others and worked well. The mod is honestly a great mod. and i nominated it for MOTM. What I think would be a great sister mod is a Game of The Month mod. Which I am currently looking into based off this.

[ProFifaLeagues]

Game of the month mo would be Class if anyone comes up with that im sure it would be well used!

[Preech]

Is there anyway, we could get this like a artist of the week.

[Mr. Kage]

I just noticed a weird bug. Whenever the plugin is turned on, it adds a "Add to Friends" link on a members page even if they're already your friend. If it's turned off, it works as normal. Great mod though.

[ravenfaust]

Can you please fix my issue?

[reg_vb]

I'm getting this error message at the top of the page

And none of the movie information is loading, using it in 4.1.1

Fixed, follow the instructions, I was putting the complete link instead of just the trailing numbers.

[Wild Bronco]

I would love to see this mod upgraded for 4.1.1

[Gemma]

Well for whatever reason it seems to be working well again since upgrading to vB 4.1.2

Thank You , I have saved it for later.

[fusionpot]

i have an issue with this plugin now since upgrading to version (vBulletin 4.1.5 Patch Level 1) any time i try to edit,post,delete a thread or post it does not show or allow text. i am %100 sure that this is a motw issue.

please fix this asap thank you.

[Bob_R]

So, it only shows a trailer not the whole movie?

[Kijken]

Same problem here on 4.1.5. When activating the mod, it's not possible to edit or start a thread.

[Gemma]

Do you receive any error messages???

[Kijken]

No, after I install the mod I can't use the text editor, which you use normally posting a thread.
It's only possible to use the 'subjest area' (The small one at the top of the editor), but I'm not able to use the main text area. The main text area is visible, but you can't put some text in there.
I hope you understand my explanation

[Gemma]

Strange, I see no reason why it would cause problems with the editor as it is only a placement in forumhome or forumdisplay. There isn't even any jscript that could conflict with the CK Editor.

[Kijken]

I'll show it to you with some screens:

not compatible with 4.1.5

[Gemma]

Works perfectly on my site using vB 4.1.5 and using Lytebox 3.22 - could be a script conflict with another mod

The problem is the lytebox will only work on one theme,if you have multiple themes or even fixed and fluid of the same skin,it will still only work on one of them.Or delete the lytebox as previously posted.

Seems to be working pretty well on my VB 4.* current version

The only bit that seems broken at the moment is the Rotten Tomatoes integration - that simply does not work. Possibly they changed their format or something since the mod was originally written?

[fusionpot]

this addon no longer works. is there any chance you will be updating it?

The 2.1 API was shut down on September 15.

You'll have to either update the plugin to use v3, or see if perhaps there is already an update by the developer who made the plugin.

themoviedb.org

[xxfullclipxx]

this didnt work on the latest version Version 4.2.2 and a major problem was when enabled it completely kills your forum. you cant create new topics it somehow kills the form that you type in
