Here is a first test script for IMDB (Complete).
What's new? People Info is now available for all people
.
The whole people import is now available as a pseudo subroutine and is used for directors, writers, produsers, etc. with a few lines of code.
http://www.mediafire.com/download/j0u47vg4d5a2ezi/IMDB.COM_%28Complete%29_-_Temp.rar
One thing that's still got to do: the awards for the people. Something is wrong but I can't find it. The routine itself works as it is the same as in the Actors script.
But as I have spent "a few" hours on fixing the IMDB scripts I totally have lost focus at the moment. Maybe anybody of you can fix the last problem.
Every other import routine should work meanwhile for the three IMDB scripts - Complete, TVSeries and Actors. |

I came across some bugs / problems. For some Actors the Actor Plugin is not downloading a Photo for others it does. For example the Plugin didnt download the Photo of Joseph Gordon-Levitt even though he has one on IMDB. I cant find a pattern for which it does and for which Actors it doesnt. Same goes for the Birth Date for some the Plugin updates the Birthdate for some it does not even when its in IMDB.
The other problem I came across is that the IMDB Complete Plugin is not downloading the whole cast for a Movie for me even when I set the Number of Actors to import to 999. |

Thanks for your reply, Valkyslayer!
I will have a look at those problems.
The one with the birthdate I already have recognized my own but only in the case there is only the year given and not the full date. Give me an example for such an actor, please.
To the number of actors... I think that the routine only takes the actors from the main page.
*EDIT*
The pictures are now okay.
When you click on the picture in your browser you will see the difference: Some people have no big picture but only their thumbnail like in the case of "Joseph Gordon-Levitt".
*EDIT2*
The birthday and probably the deathday is now corrected, too.
The amount of actors problem: I already have found the problem.
It's because of some characters don't have an own subpage. Therefor you will get such output like:
Jesse Ramirez (Scavenger José Zúñiga ... Detective Weiss (as Jose Zuniga) Francis Guinan ... Father Garret Larry Cedar ... Vermin Man)
instead of:
Jesse Ramirez (Scavenger)
José Zúñiga (Detective Weiss (as Jose Zuniga))
Francis Guinan (Father Garret)
Larry Cedar (Vermin Man)
I have to have a deeper look at that problem...
The already corrected script functions:

Beside that: there was a minor problem with the Actors script and the awards. I have to use #TAKEAWARDS# instead of #TAKEACTORAWARDS# as it is supposed to be. |

Thank you for the fixed Script looks like almost everything is working correctly now.
I am still getting some Actors / Actresses without Birthdate but I think I have a theory why.
For Example America Ferrera is imported without Birthdate even though its a complete Birthdate on IMDB. The only difference I noticed to Actors where the Birthdate is imported is that she has her Birth Name right before the Birthdate on IMDB. Born: America Georgine Ferrera April 18, 1984 in Los Angeles, California, USA
Could this be the cause of that problem? |

No, that's definetively not the cause.
I'm searching for this line: <time datetime="1984-4-18" itemprop="birthDate">
Can it be that I have mixed up month and day? I have to check that... |

I just have testet it with America Ferrera and the Actors script as well as Ugly Betty and the TVSeries script.
Both import the correct birthdate for that actress.
I have changed the name of the scripts to V7. So you can be sure that the correct scripts are used. (Some kind of buffer sometimes reactivates an old release...)

By the way: When only the year is given I add this to the Biography section as the natural field does not allow invalid dates. |

Strange I just created a new Database added only America Ferrera as New Actor and updated her with the V7 Script everything is imported correctly but no Birthdate
EDIT: My Windows (Windows 7) is set to american time and date format can that be the cause? |

Not if other dates are imported correctly.
I change "1984-4-18" in the script to "18.4.1984".
But you can try to change the script to:
#STRING#=#01#=#13#-#14#-#11#
#TAKEACTORBDATE#=#01# #ONERROR#=*ASK*
This will take the date as "1984-4-18". |

| Changing my System Date format to 18.04.1984 helped. Isnt it possible that it wasnt working before for some actors because the script was reading 18 as Month which would make the Birthdate invalid. And Actors with Birthdates like for example 04.05.1984 worked because both 04 and 05 would be valid as Month? |

Well, when I take the date as is in <time datetime="1984-4-18" itemprop="birthDate"> it will automatically corrected to the german date format.
So it can be changed in every script for birthdate and deathdate.

| Maybe there could be added an option to combine the dateformat to a special language... but I think it should work with the origin format for everyone. |

| I think the Problem was on my end because I run a strange setup. English Windows 7 set to American Time & Date format but I live in Germany. I will just use the German Time & Date format everything runs fine then. |

Let's see what the other users will say.
DateTime is a theme for itself as I know too well. |

| I have one more question about the Script. The Complete Import of Non Actors Setting. If I set it to 0 will it still create a Database Entry for all the Non Actors just without complete information? |

| Yeah I think before that was the case but there was no option for complete import so I was not sure. Thank You for all the help and fixes. |
