IMDb BBC 1.0

IMDb BBC adds a powerful BBC wich allows you to search through the IMDb's database. It's very simple to use. For example, if you want to search the database for movie called "Shrek" then it will look like this:

Code Select Expand

[imdb]Shrek[/imdb]

This mod uses the integration hooks, so it won't make any changes to SMF's core files.

I know you spent a fair amount of time writing this, and doing it without edits. Congratulations on getting it out there, Masterd!

[Masterd]

Thank you, Labradoodle-360!

[Masterd]

This mod works on SMF 2.0 RC5 without any problems.

[willerby]

Can you explain IMDb ?  What does it stand for?  What is it?

I'm guessing this mod creates a link in a post to a search based upon what is between the BBC tags? ie. a list of topics with that search criteria.  But I could be way off...

Thanks

[Arantor]

IMDb = Internet Movie Database, i.e. imdb.com, a list of many many films, characters, actors.

I fixed one little bug. Link wasn't underlined.

[Chupko]

Nice mod Masterd (:

[Masterd]

Thank you!

[Masterd]

Does anyone wants this mod for SMF 1.1.13?

[agent47]

Is the current version compatible with SMF 2.0 Gold ?

[Masterd]

Yes, it should work just fine.

[Matthew K.]

Of course it is. It uses hooks which haven't changed since RC5

[FragaCampos]

Nice little mod. Thanks a lot for your effort.

I have a request, though. Is it possible to insert the imdb logo instead of the text "IMDB:" so that we could click the image and be redirected to the title in IMDB?

[Robert.]

Very nice mod, going to install this one as soon as I have a forum.

Highly unlikely

Compatible With:
    2.0 RC5, 2.0, 2.0.2

Last Active: 17 December 2012

Highly unlikely

And yet, miracles do happen.

Er since the update I now have no imdb bbc code.

Won't be updating the Wiki mod until this is corrected.

Hm. That's peculiar.  I restored the old version, just stick with it. Nothing's changed in the Wki mod so you don't need to update it.

Still the same.

It's fixed. My apologies.

[Kimmie]

I like the mod. I only see one thing that I would request being changed. When you are looking up Movies, in a lot of cases they have been remade several times or it returns results that do not even pertain to that movie. Example Movie: The Pirate. This is the result it returns on the link

http://www.imdb.com/find?s=all&q=The%20Pirate%201948


Is there any way to narrow this down? I tried The Pirate 1948 but it gave the same results.  Just trying to get the kinks worked out before we go live with it . Thanks.

That's up to IMDb's own search engine.

Good work

[ephman]

Really appreciate your work man. This might come in handy.

[Masterd]

Thank you.

can't get this to install on smf 2.0.11 install goes fine but no imdb bbcode button shows up on the new post page?

[Steve]

It installs and works perfectly for me.

Have you tried refreshing your browser and deleting your browser's temp files?

Did you install it for all your themes?

[Steve]

I'm not sure what you're showing me. It looks like you're trying to use this for something other than what it was designed for.

sorry disregard my last post it was for another mod

the problem with this mod is it installs ok witht no errors but there's no imdb bbcode button on the new post page and even just using for example [imdb]Shrek[/imdb] in a post doesn't work as intended

installed:

code not working:

which is weird as your wiki bbcode mod works fine

[Steve]

I'm sorry to ask then again but do you have more than one theme and does the button not show up on any of them?

[steve51184]

Default theme no others

[Masterd]

This mod should work regardless of the theme you are using. Also, the probability of conflict with some other mod is pretty much nonexistent, since it uses integration hooks, but then again, it could happen. If it's working fine on Steve's forum and you don't have some other mod that is interfering, I honestly don't know how to help you.

[Rumpa]

@Masterd your pm is disabled so I am asking here.

I want to release this mod for SMF 2.1
and need permission for your code

If you agree then give me access permission

Thank you

[Steve]

@Masterd hasn't been here in a year and a half. Hopefully he'll have some kind of notification turned on for your post.

[Rumpa]

Oh my god

[Steve]

Relax. This is under discussion.

[Steve]

And unfortunately it didn't go your way as you already know. Sorry.
