v2.0.2 => v2.5b - Added auto-grab IMDB information. Removed useless YouTube trailer link. Removed the need for a summary. Removed the need for movie title.
v2.5b => v3.0 - Everything except for the Rotten Tomatoes Link is automatically grabbed from the IMDB ID. No more manual template edits.
v3.0 => 3.0.2 - Added choice of automatic or manual YouTube trailer.

Info:
Movie Of The Week on FORUMHOME or FORUMDISPLAY. Easily manage the MOTW on your forum's homepage or display.

Main Features:
-Lytebox Cover Art (Automatically grabbed)
-IMDB Link (Automatically generated)
-Rotten Tomatoes Link
-YouTube Trailer (Automatically grabbed or Manually set)
-Admin Rating
-Movie Title (Automatically grabbed)
-Movie Details (Automatically grabbed)

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.

damn i will like this mod but for Sport Event of the Week instead... but cant get it to work prop

[Krusty1231]

I been running the 2.0.1 =>2.0.2 release of this when it first came out. Everything was manual edit then.....

I have updated my board to 4.0.8 without a glitch or problem with this mod since 4.0.3 or so. It just "peters" along with my changes.

If you look around I'm pretty sure you can find the older version of this mod - it worked best for what I wanted - and may or may not work best for you.

I agree Krusty, although the auto version was good it handles the API and will call to external source slowing the SQL down immensely. Manual - 1 Auto - 0

No problemswith lag at all - I have it installed in a sub-forum though. Running it on vB4.1. I'd still like to get the Cast variable included or at least Starring data. Any ideas?
