[doggo]

Hi all, im still fairly noob at tcl.. but ive been working on this script that makes use the api @ http://imdbapi.com

I have been testing it for about a week now making sure it all works ok and wanted to share it with you guys

what it looks like http://i.imgur.com/zuMww.png

All you should need do is load the script and edit these 3 variables and ue the help trigger..

Code: Select all

??imdb

[06:44pm] <doggo> ??imdb
[06:44pm] <spunky> [IMDB Search Help]
[06:44pm] <spunky> [Search IMDB Id] -tt tt0234215 | or | -tt tt0234215 switch
[06:44pm] <spunky> [Search Titles] -imdb the matrix reloaded | or | -imdb the matrix reloaded --switch
[06:44pm] <spunky> [Search Switches] title year rated released genre director writer cast plot poster runtime rating votes link | no switch = spam :D

and have yr bot explain it

Code: Select all

Feedback welcomed like i said im still a bit of a noob @ tcl scripting

[nabbelol]

Very nice script! works very well, easy to read and modify.

I would recommend you to make the color into a variable so its easier to change it :)

Also I changed the id to URL, since I see no use in just the ID, better with a click-able URL :)

I personally like more information on one line, so I changed the script to my liking.

[goalie204]

post plz, need a working imdb script

tried as posted and

-imdb the matrix
.[secksy(dcc)] [11:46] Tcl error [imdb::imdb_evaluate_search::search_evaluate_imdb]: can't read "http": no such variable

http.tcl is loaded first

[doggo]

this is a working script using this http tcl with it no probs http://pastebin.com/nQCgBBWf

what http script were you using?

[goalie204]

thanks putting that egghttp tcl worked and now it works

how can i change the imdb id to the url of the movie info, and how can i consolodate it a bit so its less spammy
thanks

[doggo]

take a look at this part of the code

Code: Select all

default { 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Title\]\017 $title \00308\[Year\]\017 $year \00308\[Genre\]\017 $genre" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Directed By\]\017 $director \00308\[Writen By\]\017 $writer" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Rated\]\017 $rated" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Released\]\017 $released" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Cast\]\017 $actors" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Plot\]\017 $plot" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Poster\]\017 $poster" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Runtime\]\017 $runtime" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Rating\]\017 $rating" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Votes\]\017 $votes" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[IMDB Id\]\017 $id" 
      }

and change it to this, ive tried to make it a bit less spammy

Code: Select all

default { 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Title\]\017 $title \00308\[Year\]\017 $year \00308\[Genre\]\017 $genre" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Directed By\]\017 $director \00308\[Writen By\]\017 $writer" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Released\]\017 $released \00308\[Rated\]\017 $rated" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Cast\]\017 $actors" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Plot\]\017 $plot" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Poster\]\017 $poster" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Runtime\]\017 $runtime \00308\[Rating\]\017 $rating \00308\[Votes\]\017 $votes" 
        putquick "$imdb::api::pub :\00308\[Link\]\017 http://www.imdb.com/title/$id/" 
      } 

also replaced [IMDB Id] with the weblink to imdbs info page

edited first post to reflect the changes

[caesar]

Why don't you use puthelp instead of putquick? Doesn't the bot flood itself off?

[doggo]

i used puthelp in testing, and the default output was slow to be announced in channel.. i know putquick is used more for sending messages to the sever rather than a channel or user but it did what i wanted without the bot flooding its self off..

made me think though.. (*dangerous*) there is no flood protection added in the script so potentially users could flood the bot off by searching to fast, ill look into adding some.. ive not had any problems using this script with putquick in place of puthelp though


*Edit*

Added some flood protection, made changes to first post

[x0x]

http://www.imdbapi.com changed to http://www.omdbapi.com so you need to update that to get the script to work.

Found something strange tho. When using capital letters: Error: bad input

!imdb The Matrix
Error: bad input

!imb the matrix
Works

[liljim]

Could someone modify this so it can be used in multiple channels? Perhaps by setting +imdb or +omdb? That would be really great.

[x0x]

Besides this missing functionality, does the script work for you? Because when I use capital letters, an error occurs.

[liljim]

Besides this missing functionality, does the script work for you? Because when I use capital letters, an error occurs.

I don't know if there's a more elegant way, but changing

Code: Select all

} elseif {[regexp {^([a-z0-9\s]+)$} $do_search match imdbsearch]} { 

to

Code: Select all

} elseif {[regexp {^([a-z0-9A-Z\s]+)$} $do_search match imdbsearch]} {

works for me.

[x0x]

Indeed! NICE! Thank you

[nml375]

As for the "more elegant" version:

Code: Select all

} elseif {[regexp -nocase -- {^([[:alnum:]]+)$} $do_search match imdbsearch]} {

(-nocase for no case comparison, and bracket expression using character classes). liljim's suggestion is just as good though.
