Thank you for using the script,
ckpro.

What exactly are the templates, I'm not going through 50 templates.

Which makes the Plot Keywords, URL etc etc bold, and the results normal black?

Very nice script regardless

Looks like a nice script......might also be nice if it could run a secondary search that was like:

/imdbcast the dark knight

to return a list of characters like this;

Christian Bale ...  Bruce Wayne / Batman
Heath Ledger ...  The Joker
Aaron Eckhart ...  Harvey Dent / Two-Face
Michael Caine ...  Alfred Pennyworth
Maggie Gyllenhaal ...  Rachel Dawes
Gary Oldman ...  James Gordon
Morgan Freeman ...  Lucius Fox


etc

The numbers that you change on Template and Results are referring to a colour.

eg.
Template [ 50 ] = Light Green Colour
Results [ 7 ] = Orange Colour

(By template, I mean the Title:, Genre:..etc)


Thx for the idea djdannyp, I will definitely think about adding that on the next release.

How about an option for not having any colour tags at all?

Well, then it might be difficult to distinguish between the template and the results. You can set both of the options to the colour you are using for chatting as quick hack, to simulate no colour tags (Even though the tags will still be there, it will just look it.)

If it's that important, I'll add it to the next release.

How do you make Template Bold and Colour #1 (i set it to #1)

Currently, the Template and Results can only be altered by colour. I'll add the option to alter more attributes on the next release

iMDB Script V1.2 Released.

Very, very cool script.

Is it possible at the moment (or are you working on it for the next release) to bring up a short/long list of the films a certain actor has done? Thanks.

Hey,

Thanks.

the new release have some problems.. i can't use the external commands.. not working.. and the check box to External not working, too.. and the OK button dont have.. wierd




i hope you can fix it!

Humm... it's fine on my end. Anyone else having this problem ?

Nice update, works great for me

@dukhell: which version of Windows Live Messenger and Messenger Plus! Live are you using?

my Messenger Plus is the last version.. but my msn is 8.5. i don't like the 9.0 yet.. only me with this problem?

Hey CKPro

This is a really cool script. I enjoy it alot instead of opening the IMDB site all the time. The only problem is that i cant configure it. Theres no buttons to save the changes, and my settings window is not looking at all like the ones on your screen shot.

Im running Windows Live Messenger 2009 on Vista 64Bit. Anyways, posted a pic of the settings window. Hope you can help me out in some way. At least to get the external trigger to work so my contacts can get imdb information through me.

Thanx in advance.

I'm still not quite sure why it's doing that for some people. Maybe it's because you're using Live Messenger 2009. Can you try using the script on Live Messenger 8.5, and see if the problem still occurs.

Meanwhile, I'll have a look into this problem.

//Edit: I'm not sure if this is OS related. Anyone else running Vista experiencing this problem ?

i'm using MSN 8.5 and i have the same problems... i hope you can help us... thanks you

Just got an update on the script. But theres no changes when downloaded and installed from the last edition. Still no option to configure the script.

Try removing iMDB Script completely and download the version attached with this thread...

Just tried it, still no luck. It looks the same, and still i cant do anything about anything. hehe

I have the same problem as some other users on this board. Wont let me change any of the default settings. I am using WLM v8.1 b8.1.0178.00 and Plus v4.23.0.276 under WinXP Home SP2.

The script works fine if i trigger it myself, so its not completely borked. Tried to change some settings in the source code, and saving it, but still wouldn't apply any changes for output or external usage.

I know tried to change settings via RedEdit, and it seems to be working. Settings menu is still fubar, but the external setting has been checked. You who experience problems, go to:

Start menu > Run > regedit > enter > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Pachou > Messenger Plus! Live > GlobalSettings > Scripts > iMDB Script > Settings > <your MSN passport>

There, switch from 0 to 1, etc, on what you wanna change. This is one way to change settings, better than not to change anything at all.

Edit: Okay, external usage still wont work, but I manage to disable colors when I trigger the script myself.

Can you try the version attached with this post, and tell me if you get the same problem.

Hi all.

I also had the problem with not being able to select a few options, because the boxes just weren't there.

Solution: Look at the example picture on the first page of this thread, and just 'tab' your way through the settings and hit 'space' if you want to enable something.

Worked for me with the bold option etc.

Couldn't figure out the problem with the external usage, which still doesn't work for me.

I should have mentioned this a long time ago, I've only just realized it. Go to:

code:

---

Start menu > Run > regedit > enter > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Pachou > Messenger Plus! Live > GlobalSettings > Scripts > iMDB Script > Settings > <your MSN passport>

---

The problem with some elements not being displayed is an easy one to fix..
In the iMDBSettings.xml file, which 'controls' the Settings window layout, some (the hidden) elements have a wrong setting.
Their top-setting is something like <value>.5, which isn't allowed!
Just remove the .5 everywhere and you'll be able to see all the elements!

Thanks JaMeSsS for the solution, I have re-edited the iMDBSettings.xml file.
