IMDB Info Generator (Lite) · **Released**: 05-31-2009

Click Install Please.

Only Vb 4.0.x.

Info: What is this plugin for?

This plugin makes it possible to show data from IMDB Movie Database using the movie ID with a BBCode.

As far as I know many users were looking for a plugin something like this which pulls data from IMDB and shows directly in the post.

This plugin uses a script which is contributed under GPL. However, a big part of the system was rewritten and a lot of coding were done to integrate both systems.

Features:
Plugin Pulls these movie information:
- Contry (Lite)
- Genre (Lite)
- Time (Lite)
- Language (Lite)
- Director (Lite)
- Cast (Advanced Version)
- Description (Advanced Version) (Extended)
- IMDB Score (Advanced Version)
- Thumbnail Picture (Advanced Version) (Now larger picture avaliable for Advanced Version)
[s]-Trailer Link (Advanced Version)[/s]
- Advanced control of style, language and dimension. (Advanced Version)

Installation

Included in the zip file under "Documentation"

How To Use

You simple copy the part at the end of the IMDB link and copy after the tt letters the IMDB ID and write it between the tags.

Example: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/ you copy 0468569 and write it between two tags like this : [IMDB]0468569[/IMDB]

Common Mistakes With This Plugin:
- Your host must have the allow_url_open option set as OPEN or ON.
- Images and cache folder's CHMOOD must set to 777 ( Files and Subfolders )
- The Format of usage is [IMDB]0468569[/IMDB] not [s][IMDB]tt0468569[/IMDB] [/s]or [s][IMDB]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/[/IMDB][/s]

Credits and Notes:
- Part of the plugin was written under GPL.
- Special Thanks to Melih B?y?k who made this plugin work.
- Thanks to salusoft of showing his modification of the plugin. I benefit from his style to make some changes.
-Bug reports, suggestions that would help improve this plugin are always welcome.

Keep up the good work, Laz you will get there. Its perhaps 1 line of extra code somewhere you have added , or edited and just have forgotten.

Happens to the best of us.

You're gonna get what your want DobieGillis?

You just had to be more patient. When everybody noticed the "Page not found" error I thought It couldn't get a connection to the database but It was! The problem is that I have forgotten to mention one other verry verry important thing! You have to put the site adress in one of the new template block.

And if it is not still working, come and shoot me !

Edit: The new version covers the template changes. No manuel changes needed with the IMDB template block.

TimberFloorAu · #56 06-04-2009, 10:25 PM

LMAO @ come and shoot me !

Right, Im off out for the day to an expo. Will try this later mate.

If you have it installed before It's enought you change that in the template but If you are installing it again I wrote some lines to the plugin and fixed that issue.

Okies seems to work fine now

But its not rewriting the urls within the iframe correctly

Plus works in preview mode.

But when we post, we lose the [imdb] link .... and get nothing.

Also in editor the imdb image not appearing.

Yes it isn't showing it creates an IFrame instead. It was mentioned before I'm working on that...

put the image either in images/editor or yourtheme/image/editor folder.

And please attach a screenshot will you ?

Chadi · #60 06-05-2009, 04:22 AM

edit: got it working

OP should mention in the install that you have to edit imdb template to add your site's url. I don't know why you did not do that yet when you already acknowledged this in a few posts back.

One thing that isn't working is no thumbnails in the output. Your screenshot shows a thumbnail. Shouldn't that be there?

Thanks

There are two screenshots Chadi, one is for the lite one and the other one for the full version ( paid version )

Yesterday I made a clean Vbulletin installation and tested the plugin which is working perfectly.

Please double check that you gave the right CHMOOD permissions to the image and cache folder ( 7777 )

Other than that nor now I can not see why this plugin wont't work properly.

The version has changed as you noticed, the site adress issue was fixex with the 1.02 version so you don't have to change anything with that.
