I like IMDb too. I see the data you supplied but what to I do with it? Do I have to type everything exactly as it looks? Where do I put this information? (And no telling me where to stick it either!). If it's fairly easy to explain then let me know; if it's too difficult, don't bother.
I'll never tell you to "stick it". It'll take what it takes, but we're going to make it work!
Alright, so, I've attached a TXT file to this post, which contains the code for the IMDb window in Profiler.
Basically, all you have to do is download the file, remove the .TXT at the end (so that it becomes a .HTML)
Then, in Profiler, go to
View -> HTML Windows -> Edit... and a new window opens.
In that new window, do
Section -> New..., it'll ask for a name for the HTML Window, give any name you want (call mine IMDb)
Make sure the newly create section is selected in the left column. If not, just click on it.
Then, do
File -> Open HTML File..., browse to the HTML file you just download and click OPEN. This will load the code into the section.
The loaded code should be this
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
/**************************************************/
var imdbStart = "";
var imdbEnd = "";
var imdbCode = "";
var imdbLink = "";
var imdbFound = false;
var imdbURL = "http://www.imdb.com/title/";
// Open IMDb page for the profile
function imdb() {
imdbStart = DP_Notes.toLowerCase().indexOf("\<imdb") + 6;
if (imdbStart>5) {
if (DP_Notes.toLowerCase().indexOf("\<\/imdb\>", imdbStart)>1) {
imdbEnd = DP_Notes.toLowerCase().indexOf("\<\/imdb\>", imdbStart);
} else {
imdbEnd = DP_Notes.toLowerCase().indexOf("\/\>", imdbStart);
}
imdbCode = DP_Notes.slice(imdbStart, imdbEnd);
imdbLink = (imdbURL + imdbCode);
imdbFound = true;
window.location.href = imdbLink;
} else {
document.write("There is no IMDb code in the notes.");
}
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="imdb();">
</BODY>
</HTML>
Click OK at the bottom of the window.
Now, you have to activate the window. To do that, do
View -> HTML Windows -> <NameOfYourNewWindow> and it will show it.
To place it where you want (I place it as a second tab next to my Overview tab), just drag the window title to the tab that says Overview (if you have one). When it will be turned into a tab, it should look like this (notice the icon in the middle of the screen):
----------------------------------
But, you are not done yet. At this point, the window will show what you see in my screenshot above "There is no IMDb code in the notes". To remedy that, you need to add some text to the notes section of each profile. Namely, the IMDb identification number. How do you find it? Easy.
Go to IMDb and find the movie (or click the IMDb button in DVD Profiler). When you are on the movie's page, look at the address bar in IE or Firefox or Safari or whatever you use to browse the net. You'll see something like this:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0910812/ (this is the page for Tin Man)
The part that interests us is the ID code at the end. Copy this, and go to profiler, go to the notes section of the profile and add
<imdb=tt0910812 /> (replacing ttXXXXXXX for whatever code it should be for the current profile).
And it should work!
