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.

Thread ID worked out thanks.

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?

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!

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.

Slight bug.

I used these details - tt1375666

Everything shows up beautifully

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.

Hm. Sounds like a good idea. I can switch it back to manually. Maybe I should have released it as beta, lol. :P Sorry guys.

Screenshot of problem.

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



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

------
.
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.

Thanks ragarcia87
