| | Posted: | | | | Hello, I tried this and failed, so I thought I would request from someone that knows what they are doing. I would love to have a window for DVD Compare (http://www.dvdcompare.net/index.php) similiar to the ones available for IMDB and Wikipedia. If someone thanks that can do this I would really appreciate it. | | | | DVD Profiler user since October 1, 2004 |

Just add <dvdc=3212 /> for example, which will open this page: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=3212 |

</HTML> You need to add the number at the end of the DVD Comapre URL in the Notes section using: <dvdcompare=xxxx> I only put this together quickly using the IMDb window code, so give it a try and check back if it doesn't work.

| | Posted: | | | | Thank you so much for the script RossRoy, just a few more questions since I am a total noob at this,
where exactly do I add the <dvdc=3212 />?
Also, is this script automatic as with the IMDB and Wikipedia ones? | | | | DVD Profiler user since October 1, 2004 |

| | Posted: | | | | wow, you guys are fast, I love it  Anyways, thanks for the tip as well Achim, I will give it a try. My only question is, is it possible to make this so that it will automatically find the page for the film when the profile is selected? I have scripts for IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and Wikipedia that do this. | | | | DVD Profiler user since October 1, 2004 | | | | Last edited: by deadman36g |

| | Posted: | | | | The code at the end of the DVD Compare link, you just add it to the Notes of the specific profile. So, like my example above, for 28 Days Later, the link is : http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/film.php?fid=3212 so you'd add this to your notes: <dvdc=3212 /> Oh and, sorry Ya_Shin. Didn't mean to make you work on it for nothing, but at least, it validates my solution!  |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks Ross, it is working,
I have the following script for IMDB,
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
function imdb() {
if (DP_OriginalTitle) {
var title = DP_OriginalTitle;
} else {
var title = DP_Title;
}
var matchErg = DP_Notes.match(/imdb:\s*(tt\d+)/i);
if (matchErg) {
var imdbLink = "http://www.imdb.com/title/" + matchErg;
} else {
var imdbLink = "http://www.imdb.com/find?s=tt&q=" + title;
}
window.location.href= imdbLink;
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY onload="imdb();">
</BODY>
</HTML>
And that scripts makes it so that there is no need to enter anything in the notes to find a certain listing, is this possible with DVD Compare or are they perhaps set up differently so that this cannot be done? | | | | DVD Profiler user since October 1, 2004 |

Both scripts above are designed that way. If that doesn't work, something is wrong. I am not sure, but if the window is not active, e.g. hidden behind another tab, it may only begin to load when being selected, so still take a moment there, but it should load automatically. | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.

| | Posted: | | | | Achim, I tried it and it just says There is no DVD Compare code in the notes., now if I put the code in the notes it works, but for the others (IMDB, Wiki, etc.) I did not have to put any code in the notes. | | | | DVD Profiler user since October 1, 2004 |

| | Posted: | | | | Wiki is going by Title, IIRC. IMDb, however, should not open the correct page right away if you don't add the code in the Notes... The only thing we could then do is open the main page for DVD Compare, as the search pages don't seem to have their own URLs, like IMDb does. If that is sufficient for you, simply do this: Quote:

<BODY onload= (window.location.href="http://www.dvdcompare.net/")>

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks goodguy! I found though that the OriginalTitle is often empty and as Doug's collection mainly contains R1 DVDs the DP_Title seems to quite sufficient. I tried and got fairly good results. Doug, here is the code using goodguy's link: Quote:

| | Posted: | | | | Yeah, sorry about that. you can do something like this:
var szTitle = (DP_OriginalTitle == "") ? DP_Title : DP_OriginalTitle;
If you want to go crazy, you can also use a RegExp to strip leading articles, but the DVDCompare search shouldn't require it. | | | | Matthias |
