That's why I asked what movie you were searching for. So I could see if I could find it.

Also the Title box for a new thread should not be showing. See this image https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attac...0&d=1371648426

In any case the URL that gets pasted into the box looks like this (using the movie Alien as an example)..

http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/348-alien

Or from that URL, the move ID would be 348

Yea i tried that entering a movie from there site using both methods and no luck...

maybe the curl is not working! is there a way to find out...

Go to ACP->Maintenance->View PHP Info and see if CURL is listed there and if it's enabled.

If it is, have you entered an API Key for The Movie Database in ACP->Settings->Options, 'TMDb Thread Settings'? Without it, the system will not work.

I know it's marked 4.2.1 but has anyone got it working on 4.2.0 ?

I just tried it myself on 4.2.0 and there is no place to enter movie link or id

The system has not been tested on 4.2.0, so no support will be given for that version.

But, did you turn on the system after installing?

And did you select a Forum that will be used by the system?

Yes and Yes

Thanks for the quick reply, at least we now know it won't work on 4.2.0 so it should help others before they try it.
Maybe I will upgrade soon

Great job either way, nominated for MOTM

Well, I'm going to go back on that. I just tested it on 4.2.0 PL3 and it works with one minor problem. 4.2.0 does not support the HR BBCode tag. So..

Edit the 'TMDb Newthread Process' plugin, locate and remove this from it..

PHP Code:

Done and still the same for me.
API key entered and mod turned on.

See attached where "Title" has not changed to "TMDB link or Movie ID"
Thanks

Did you select the forum that will hold the movie threads?

Try using the default, unedited vB style and see if it works. If it does, then there's a problem with your style. If it doesn't it's possible another mod is interfering with this mod.
