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.
- 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.

Well I believe as per my mistake earlier this fix thread also was posted when imdb was still working, any new imdb threads (as of 10/12/2010) will not show any information. I am sure the coder is working on a fix especially for those of us that have paid him for a working mod

[kalisekj]

ok strange as this may be it seems only certain imdb movies are coming up with incomplete or no info. I just did one , Gentle Ben 2002 and IMDB brought in all the info and pics.

The developer is just MIA here and not responding with a fix.

Me and my patner were very buisy on some projects recently and I couldn't get back to all the support requests that have been made, for that I'm sorry.

As you know IMDB has made some changes lateley and these changes are causing problems fetching data from imdb.

We are currently working on a permanent fix rather than quick one. There are also some developements that will change our approach to the plugins future. I will update this thread when the time arrives.

Thank you all for your feedback and of course, patience.

Thanks to the developer for the reply... I look forward to the new version and fix. I have a blog that depends heavily on your mod here and we are thrown back into a standstill without it.

Temporarily I am using a embed site bb code...

Hope we see the new version and fix soon. Thanks for a great mod!
