Plugins

The plugins site is currently in development.

We've been looking to provide a higher-quality, spam-free experience at the plugins site for some time, and a major error on our part forced us to shut down the current site before we could put the new one in place. We are developing a new site, and you can follow along with its development on GitHub. For more information about this transition, including steps you can take as a plugin author to prepare, please read our post about what's going on.

jImdb : Imdb Details Grabber


jImdb is a jQuery Plugin that grabs Movie Details from an IMDB Webpage. It grabs the basic details (Title, Director, Writers, Release Date, Tag line, Plot, Runtime, MPAA, Language, Aspect Ratio, Country) from the IMDB Page and Returns the data in JSON Format. Its very easy to use and customizable.

To overcome Javascript Cross-domain restriction, a server-side proxy file has been provided in PHP with the plugin.

Basic Syntax:

$.jimdb.grab("http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0103064/", function(data) {
        if( data.status == "OK") {
            // display result, 'data' has JSON properties ,
            // Title of Movie = data.title, Directors = data.director etc.
        } else {
          // process error, like show an alert
          alert(data.message);
        }
  });

Requires: jQuery 1.2 or above.

Tested on all major browsers (FF, Opera, IE 6/7, Safari). There is a performance slow down on IE-6.
