IMDB mod (php script done and added here for your help)

Post by jokoba »

i would like to request please an IMDB mod that will take from the posted the film code in IMDB and display it's information

here's a php script that might help:
http://davidwalsh.name/php-imdb-information-grabber

Code: Select all

//url
$url = '<a multilinks-offsetheight="0" multilinks-offsetwidth="0" multilinks-offsetleft="0" multilinks-offsettop="0" multilinks-visible="true" href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/">http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367882/</a>';

//get the page content
$imdb_content = get_data($url);

//parse for product name
$name = get_match('/<title>(.*)<\/title>/isU',$imdb_content);
$director = strip_tags(get_match('/<h5[^>]*>Director:<\/h5>(.*)<\/div>/isU',$imdb_content));
$plot = get_match('/<h5[^>]*>Plot:<\/h5>(.*)<\/div>/isU',$imdb_content);
$release_date = get_match('/<h5[^>]*>Release Date:<\/h5>(.*)<\/div>/isU',$imdb_content);
$mpaa = get_match('/<a href="\/mpaa">MPAA<\/a>:<\/h5>(.*)<\/div>/isU',$imdb_content);
$run_time = get_match('/Runtime:<\/h5>(.*)<\/div>/isU',$imdb_content);

//build content
$content.= '<h2>Film</h2><p>'.$name.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Director</h2><p>'.$director.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Plot</h2><p>'.substr($plot,0,strpos($plot,'<a')).'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Release Date</h2><p>'.substr($release_date,0,strpos($release_date,'<a')).'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>MPAA</h2><p>'.$mpaa.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Run Time</h2><p>'.$run_time.'</p>';
$content.= '<h2>Full Details</h2><p><a href="'.$url.'" rel="nofollow">'.$url.'</a></p>';

echo $content;

//gets the match content
function get_match($regex,$content)
{
	preg_match($regex,$content,$matches);
	return $matches[1];
}

//gets the data from a URL
function get_data($url)
{
	$ch = curl_init();
	$timeout = 5;
	curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_URL,$url);
	curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
	curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,$timeout);
	$data = curl_exec($ch);
	curl_close($ch);
	return $data;
}

I found this site already has the MOD installed. Maybe you can ask them for help.

I'm hoping that MOD could help us with this because this would be a great MOD if it is integrated well with BBCODE. Most of us will not spend much time for adding the movie information. Especially we can control how it look like without editing and formating the text each time we need.

OK, so someone released this a while back, but then let it slip and offered no support, I've picked it up where they left off. It is now compatible with PHPBB 3.0.10.

I've set it to pull this information:

Movie name
Poster
Tagline
Classification (MPAA rating)
Genre
IMDB Rating
Runtime
Release Date
Top 5 actors
Written by
Directed by
Plot

But if people want different things then let me know and I can edit bits as you require them and give each of you a custom version if required.

For the styling I went with a style sheet from an earlier release, but I have created some different styles, some which are pretty cool, again if people wanna see them then send me a pm and I'll get some screenshots together for you.

I've set up a demo, which shows what info the imdb grabber actually grabs on this install (I re-itterate, if you want it to grab different things, please pm me). It will grab game info as well (check the demo, I've provided one there.) It also displays a default no-poster image, I think that's from the very original version of this mod, I've not bothered to update that ever, but it's pretty easy to change out if you wanted to.

Demo: http://bzwebhosting.co.cc/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3

I've tested it out on a fresh install (the demo) and works just fine. I WILL be updating this as IMDB change their coding and as per user request. I've only really tested it on Subsilver2, but am pretty sure it will work on Prosilver, any problems pm me. If you want me to help you install it on your board/custom theme then let me know, I'd be happy to help.

Erm... apparently I can't attach things to this post so I'll link to where it's hosted: http://startrekguide.com/community/view ... 00#p132825

We have one working on my forum: http://www.mess-hall.co.uk/viewtopic.ph ... =60#p42754
It's a cobbled together mod from several different sources. We're currently working to reverse engineer the source, update it, and repackage it.

This will take time, all the source structure and backups were lost after a HDD crash.
If anyone is still interested PLMK.

The plugin will only work with 3.1+ as an extension, it's been too heavily modified for earlier versions now.
It'll be a while before it can be used with 3.1 probably a few more weeks.

3.1 is worth the upgrade.
