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.

We are working on a whole new version which will use %100 our code. After tat maybe we will add more features to the lite version. But as every lite version it won't be as presentable as the advanced version.

what is the prob.. may i know bro..?? tx

so if the above is what we get in the lite version perhaps you should change your screen shot to show the above picture and not the nice full picture you are displaying.

I read this entire thread trying to figure out what is wrong, as I don't get the nice picture you show, but I get what the above poster has shown

I don't think I will keep this mod on our board, unless I have done something wrong ?

sorry

i was expecting to see this type of picture on our board

Hello, i installed a while ago and seems to work fine, except that this new version does not show the cast, as the old one do.

See the attached screen please.

I am just saiyng because in your features list it is stated that the cast is included.

And if so, correct. If no, please make avaliable an older version of the plugin that shows the cast.

The new version does not support that anymore, I'm sorry.
