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.

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.

The problem is the lytebox will only work on one theme,if you have multiple themes or even fixed and fluid of the same skin,it will still only work on one of them.Or delete the lytebox as previously posted.

[GhostHunter2010]

[glen290]

Working great on my test board, shame I have to input a new movie each week, is there not an auto version of this ?

[tele955848]

4.1.1 Nicht Kompatibel -.-

[tele955848]

Alternative?
Here no Support -.-

[tele955848]

it's a pity that no feedback signal coming

[irishblacknight]

Seems to be working pretty well on my VB 4.* current version

The only bit that seems broken at the moment is the Rotten Tomatoes integration - that simply does not work. Possibly they changed their format or something since the mod was originally written?

[fusionpot]

this addon no longer works. is there any chance you will be updating it?

The 2.1 API was shut down on September 15.

You'll have to either update the plugin to use v3, or see if perhaps there is already an update by the developer who made the plugin.
