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.

Guys, actually It is working. But if you have made any changes before with class_bbcode.php it is possible to get an error.

I updated the installation.txt for those. Please report if there is a change.

Guys come on, the plugin is working, I added an actual working website adress.
Also for those who are getting errors I updated the installation.txt

Please review your steps and try it again.

Well, it wasn't working with the previous installation steps
Hold on, lemme give it another try...

[TimberFloorAu]

* Upgraded VB to 3.8.2

* did template edit as per NEW instructions, to class_bbcode.php

Im sorry but Nothing, albeit no errors.

What are we looking for ? In terms of bbcode, as it is in editor no imdb.gif is shown, nor in code source

Can't you use it at all ? Did you try to use [imdb]0383574[/imdb]
it for example?

TimberFloor would you please make a screenshot and please PM me your class_bbcode.php file.

Note: Here is where the imdb.gif used:

PHP Code:

<!--custom code start -->
<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_wrap0_imdb"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/imdb.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="Wrap [imdb] tags around selected text" /></div></td>
<!--custom code end --> 


Just have a closer look my friend

Nope, still doesn't work.

imdb.gif doesn't display in the editor box. I tried [imdb]0383574[/imdb], but I get this error:
Failed to Connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at localhost.

Class BBCODE enclosed.

No gif ( perhaps path is incorrect in editor_toolbar_on )

Can you also explain why people would use 05674687 as a imdb code ?
Surely this should/be better if it was like:

[imdb]Star Wars[/imdb]

Sorry for any inconvenience.

I made some more changes on the core and installation.txt
