Add-On Releases - IMDB Info Generator (Lite)

Click Install Please.

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 (Lite)
- Description (Advanced Version) (Extended)
- IMDB Score (Advanced Version)
- Thumbnail Picture (Advanced Version) (Now large 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:
[s]- Your host must have the allow_url_open option set as OPEN or ON.[/s]
- Inside the IMDB folder "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:

I don't understand this bit

In this step, /forumroot/ will designate the folder where your Vbulletin forum is installed (generally " / or /forum/")
UPLOAD the the content of the folder "upload" to /forumroot/ .
In the AdminCP, using the Product Manager, select the product xml file and import it. This installs all necessary Vbulletin DB tables, plugins and templates except for needed edits which you will do soon.

I have done everything else but that.

It's the standard stuff you do for any installation. Upload your files and import the product. If you've never done that before, then you need to read my article in my signature below.

[wickedstangs]

nice mod and thanks how do you change the color to match my background?

[AoNxKiLLa]

Is there a way I can make this work with a input field instead of a bbcode?

Also does anybody know how to add bbcodes to other fields? for example the thread title field?

[Preech]

What about widgets. Are there any.

Advanced control of style, language and dimension. (Advanced Version)

Does this mean that in the advanced version, the links provided will keep the language parameter?
For instance, in the lite mod, I input an IMDB id and get the results in english. If I click on director's name, it leads to the english URL, instead of my language URL (french IMDB url).

Unfortunately for now that's not possible. We are working on a showthread option. But I can't tell for sure when we will include them in a release.

I have answered this over our forum but for others knowledge, imdb france or the other custom websites are running seperate from eatch other. Sot that seems not possible either for now.
