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.

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

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, 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.
