Add-On Releases - IMDB Info Generator (Lite)

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.

- Thanks to salusoft of showing his modification of the plugin. I benefit from his style to make some changes.

That error comes in every browser I use, even Chrome

Please, any help

Would love to say that this works, but sadly it does not.
The iframe.php page is not found (yet I can call it via browser and it's there). Not going to spend a lot of time debugging sloppy code, just going to say that this doesn't work.

Guys first at all, sorry for the late reply. I have currently my final exams and therefore I can't be online for long time.

The mysql error is caused by the false usage of the IMDB ID. To prevent that please use the IMDB ID without the tt letters!

"The Page can not be found" issue has been solved with the last plugin and has been confirmed working by users which had that error before.
You simple remove the plugin from your administration area and reupload it.

Important notice: Sometimes removing the plugin from the admincp doesn't get the table in th database removed, which should normally do. In this case remove the imdb table manually if reuploading does not solve this issue.

It's very easy to slander someone elses work, I always prefer to be more proactive and find a solution before I burry it in the ground.

As I always say, respectfully, make sure you have double checked all the steps and instructions.

No, it has not. If it had, I would not have the problem. I downloaded the addon 2 days ago for the first time, and installed it this morning. It does not work

If you had followed the instructions you would see this written in the thread:

Common Mistakes With This Plugin:

- 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]

Thats interesting Laztrix..

- The Format of usage is [IMDB]0468569[/IMDB] not [IMDB]tt0468569[/IMDB] or [IMDB]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/[/IMDB]

I can put any of the formats above in and they work (using firefox),but good old IE has problems.[IMDB]0468569[/IMDB] and [IMDB]tt0468569[/IMDB] work fine, but not [IMDB]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/[/IMDB] that ends up as a live link when copied and pasted..ie if you use any of the above formats and they are blue, underlined (live link) they wont work.

Maybe a suggestion to all to try it in firefox first to show you how the format should look before you try in IE,certain add-ons in (which can be disabled) IE browser seem to be causing,a couple of problems..So come on guys you should be checking different browsers being web masters! it's not only a mod for the browser you personally use,you have your members to consider plus you're helping the coder who's spent a lot of time creating this.

All in all works perfect,i may upgrade as there's not a lot of info on the lite version..10/10
