Hi,

I’m having a problem with this plugin in the fact that the ‘imdb’ folder is always getting deleted from the server. I’m using Wp-supercache which could be conflicting but i’m not sure. Could anyone help explain what’s going on?

Thanks

Ciao Alessia, un altro lettore di Mishima qua

You certainly use a PHP version prior to v5.

Remove the entire line 414, which should look like that:

const pilot_imdbfill = NO_ACCESS;

and report if it fixed your issue. I will adapt next version if it does.

Hi,
I really like this plugin and I’m using it on a book reviews blog to give also data about those movies related to books.
I updated the plugin yesterday using the automatic update in the plugin menu, but when I try to re-activate I get this error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONST, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or ‘}’ in /home/sites/amazingreaders.net/public_html/wp-content/plugins/imdb-link-transformer/config.php on line 414

Is there something I can do to fix the problem?
Thanks!

A quick new release, still at beta stage since I’ve not been able to go through my usual quality process completly:

http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/imdb-link-transformer.zip

It should correct many issues, especially the ones related to missing datas. This release already uses next libraries developed by Izzy, which will be a major change to the plugin. But Izzy seems currently very busy (as I am), so I release “as it” the beta plugin.

Don’t expect a quick new release, except if “easy” bugs are found

hello, i tried to install this plugin but whenever i try to get to the options page i see this message
”You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

If i upload it on a live website it gets activated and works fine. The problem is on a local installation.

I tried it on one that has many other successfully installed plugins and this is the only one i get this message!!!

any workaround?? tia

I never wrote that because I couldn’t reproduce the error, there was no error. I wrote I don’t have time to “go into debug process”.

If you are not pleased with my plugin, I don’t give a shit, that’s something I mainly develop for myself, and certainly not to get that kind of rude comment.

Delete my plugin from you blog and never come again. Thanks.

I guess that just because YOU can’t reproduce the error means nobody else can, right? WRONG! The error is there!

On further investigation, YOUR ADDON caused my ip address to be blocked by IMDB. Yup, that’s right, blocked. So, your addon does not process information properly, and when no results are returned, does not PROPERLY identify this.

Why was the ip blocked? Too many connections, which means your plugin was not caching things properly. Better yet, your plugin did not NOTIFY individuals of this problem, merely threw out a php error which kills the page itself.

Learn to program properly, NEVER assume anything is given, and ALWAYS give an error if something doesn’t exist, INSTEAD of forcing php to kill the page!

Hi,

Some previous issues you mentionned are fixed in development release.

Shamefully, I don’t have enough spare time to finish that very release right now.

However, tag [imdlt] should work; I’ve not been able to reproduce the same (wrong) behaviour on my side…

Sorry, but can’t manage right now either to implement new fonctions or go into debug process

So, are you planning on fixing this to work with wordpress, or not?
Currently, this does nothing but give errors when the tag [imdblt] is used!!!

for calling the functiion I used :
external_imdb (); or imdb_external_call();
in php tag

Roi — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:45:10 +0000

i will try again:
after the opening post->ID;
$imdballmeta = get_post_meta($filmid, ‘imdb-movie-widget-bymid’, false);
echo “”;
include (‘wp-content/plugins/imdb-link-transformer/inc/imdb-movie.inc.php’);
echo “”;
}

I realise that no all of the lines appear in my previous post however, the error message text that I get is full. if you need more, please let me know.
The function file looks like:
<< ? php (here i put some extra space and post->ID;
$imdballmeta = get_post_meta($filmid, ‘imdb-movie-widget-bymid’, false);
echo “”;
include (‘wp-content/plugins/imdb-link-transformer/inc/imdb-movie.inc.php’);
echo “”; (also extra space but i remove it in the file)
}

Hi, I’m trying to call the function into my side bar and all that I get is:
Fatal error: Call to a member function imdbid() on a non-object in /home/…/wp-content/plugins/imdb-link-transformer/inc/imdb-movie.inc.php on line 52
(i just replaced here the full path with “…”)
I use
or – in both ways I get the same error message. My function file is a bit strange to me but as I am not familiar with php, here it is the whole file:
post->ID;
$imdballmeta = get_post_meta($filmid, ‘imdb-movie-widget-bymid’, false);
echo “”;
include (‘wp-content/plugins/imdb-link-transformer/inc/imdb-movie.inc.php’);
echo “”;
}

I also tried adding “?>” at the end of the file but this didn’t change the message. I tried calling the function in the sidebar file and in the single post file – the same message.

Thank you.

Yeah, I haven’t had much time to look through this either. Work and Christmas has been keeping me busy.

You stated,

but had you checked the result for “$mymovie->name” ? Because the name is not the right parameter, instead it is the imdb ID number.

Your shortcode takes the movie name given correct? And then somehow finds the imdb movie id number, to pull up all the related info? I mean your shortcode works fine in a post or page when I use it to surround a movie name. But outside of a page/post content (in a template) I believe I need to call the function directly. I mean I think I need to locate your shortcode assignment, and call the function it references. Again, these are just assumptions, this is new territory to me. When I get more time I’ll take another look and if I figure it out, I’ll post my solution.

Thanks and Happy Holidays!
Geoff

I’ve not very much time to put in that, but had you checked the result for “$mymovie->name” ? Because the name is not the right parameter, instead it is the imdb ID number.

Also, you shouldn’t call (if I remember right) imdb_external_call with an “echo”; it should display by itself data.

To help you more deeply, I should go into a debugging process, which I cannot go through right now… :/

Clarification: I've utilize the following imdb shortcodes for awhile now.

< ! --imdb--> and < ! --imdb-->

via a manually updated page. http://jeffwithag.com/misc/my-movies/ It works perfectly! Now recently I've decided to move my movie list into the database and query them. To query them I created a new template page and than wrote the logic to query and display them. http://jeffwithag.com/misc/movie-library/ It works perfectly! Next, I tried inserting the imdb shortcode (for the popup windows) around my extracted moviename from the database, so that the movies listed on that second url will support your imdb popups like the movies listed on the first url does. No such luck. See link for more details. http://wordpress.org/support/topic/341295?replies=8 Hope that better explains my scenario. Thanks, Geoff

Well if you check out jeffwithag.com/misc/ you will see Movies and Movie Library. Movies is a page with me manually including each movie surrounded by shortcodes < ! --imdb--> and < ! --/imdb-->. Works as expected. Movie Library is a template which queries my database and automatically outputs the movie titles. I am trying to add your shortcodes around the move title value, but so far no success.

I believe I either need to know what function to call or I need to know the format of your plugin within a “do_shortcode(’shortcodename’)” call.

To clarify, I just want to surround each movie name queried with your plugin shortcode so that any movie in the list can be clicked and a popup would be shown.

Any direction would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Geoff
