Installation:
1. AdminCP > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product]
2. Upload the contents of /upload to your root directory.
3. Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > MOTW - Movie Of The Week > MOTW IMDB ID

Enter what comes after /title/ e.g., http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1139328

4. Go to: AdminCP > vBulletin Options > MOTW - Movie Of The Week > MOTW Rotten Tomatoes ID

Enter what comes after /m/ e.g., http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/10012063

To manually add the mod to FORUMHOME or FORUMDISPLAY use:

{vb:raw motweek}

To manually add the mod to one particular forum:
Copy/paste the code below into the FORUMDISPLAY template of the skin you are using. I usually put it under the {vb:raw navbar}. Change the red "x" to the sub-forum id.

<vb:if condition="$GLOBALS[forumid] == x">{vb:raw motweek}</vb:if>

***Note: I have tested this on vBulletin 4.0.5 and it is working 100%***

v3.0 Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version that required template edits you "MUST" undo those template edits or lytebox won't work.

Nice work...it would be even better as a forumhome block.

Would be even sweeter if we could some how embed a trailer video! Does the part where is the video summary parse html or bbcode?

Hm. The embedded trailer video is a neat idea but wouldn't the video be too small? It's always worth a try. Ill see what I can come up with. As of right now the video summary does not parse html or bbcode. Possibly something to be added in an update.


//EDIT//
Added v2.0 with the Embedded YouTube Trailer.

it's possibile see it not in forumhome but only in a forum?

[EquinoxWorld]

How would you change/control which trailer to put? Is through the admin panel and you add the embed code there?

Currently the only location's available are on FORUMHOME. I am working on being able to put it anywhere you choose.

If you look in this image: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...7&d=1279903787

All you have to do for the YouTube trailer to embed is enter the id of the YouTube video.

eg. www.youtube.com/watch?v=L_AerBW0EcI

(Copy/Paste the red ID into the correct filed in the AdminCp options)

Eeek. Sorry, that's a my bad. I accidentally change it from 1.0 to 2.0 when I changed the version on the mod. Sorry about that. Just re-uploaded version 2.0. There should be no error on line 1 now.

I am also about to be done with another update allowing some custom placements on the forum.
