Add-On Releases - IMDB Info Generator (Lite)

Click Install Please.

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 (Lite)
- Description (Advanced Version) (Extended)
- IMDB Score (Advanced Version)
- Thumbnail Picture (Advanced Version) (Now large 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:
[s]- Your host must have the allow_url_open option set as OPEN or ON.[/s]
- Inside the IMDB folder "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:

do you have a live demo that WORKS?
half the links I checked of your demo sites, aren't even hosted anymore

please add a live link to the pages that use your mod

I'm interested in this lite version, maybe even the paid version, but you're not giving us anything to look at....

thx

[Alibass]

This does not work on 4.0.8. There are no setting showing anywhere to setup, wtf!

If this hack is not a work in progress anymore it needs to be removed or state what versions of 4x it will work on.

Uninstalled

[wickedstangs]

I have the paid version and it still works on 4.0.7

[Cyruz_PT]

IMDB changed how they display their information they now require you to log in to see more detailed information for the newer movies they added!

So doesn't look too good for this mod? Pity as it was a good idea ...

[Da-Vinci]

Is there no way to add login info or an API, I have the paid version, which also stopped working on VB 4.0.6 PL1

This mod has become an integral part of my forum, and tbh I'm not overly happy at all the code that has been left on pages were the [IMDB] tags were used.

I forgot to add something in the installation file. As we did before you have to add a custome bbcode:

In your administration panel click on "Custom BB Codes >> Ad New BB Code 

Title: IMDB Plugin
BB Code Tag Name: imdb
Replacement: <imdb><script type="text/javascript">ajaxinclude("imdb.php?mid={param}")</script></imdb>
Sample: [imdb]0383574[/imdb]
Button Image: images/editor/imdb.gif

All other setting stays default. You don't have to do anything else, save these settings.

I get an error message quoting this

The following BB Code replacement may not be properly formed. All HTML attributes should be enclosed within double quotes.

* <imdb><script type="text/javascript">ajaxinclude("imdb.php?mid={param}")</script></imdb>
