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.

I probably should have been more clear on that. All my definition and AME do (in this case) is take out the step having to use BBCode and instructing users to manually pick out the movie ID. So you can just post the link to IMDB pages at it converts. However, the IMDB modification is still responsible for getting the movie info and doing all the heavy lifting. The definition just takes out the middle man.

If IMDB wasn't so darn stingy with their information, this mod wouldn't be having the problems it does, and I could have a very made a very basic definition that pulled similar info all by itself.

weird my images come in fine, just some of the other info does not. Just with Imdb. The ame imdb wont work because i have the imdb bbcode hidden somewhere and have no idea where to find it.

Shouldn't matter, if the script is what the IMDB modification runs, all AME would do is replace the URL with the script. Whatever BBCode your using or not using shouldn't have any bearing on it.

Images aren't working in this modification right now, since IMDB changed their code. But you do need your nophoto.png image to be in your default /images directory.

I didn't provide new code. I just told you where the nophoto.png file should go. This modification still will not pull images until the dev updates it.
