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.

Off topic

Create member of the week mod for vb4

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.

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 :

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.

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.

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
