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.

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.

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>

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?


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.

Thanks for the screen shot I was hoping to see a screen shot of it working properly
