Custom actors and directors field

(1/3) > >>

afrocuban:
Hello Ivek.


I'm creating a new skin, pretty much different than anything seen here so far. As a teaser, It'll contain all the custom fields I'm aware of, around 160 as I already mentioned earlier.


For it to work properly, I need 2 custom fields: for IMDb actors without role and directors, with values separated with: "  •  ", or with double/triple space, even better.


I can't use existing human fields for those two, because they're by design of a link memo type, and with link memo it is impossible (at least for me) to achieve even simple goals in skin engineering.


I am more than willing to learn to do it myself with your help, of course. I can recognize patterns, and I already changed separator for Tv2 custom field with aforementioned, instead comma.


Thank you in advance

Ivek23:
You could edit the Tv2 (Long Text) custom field, because it is not a memo field, the data transfer is already done for the Long Text custom field in the IMDb script. As for the IMDb actors without role and directors, the data transfer would already be done in the IMDb script so that you could then still use the custom memo field or some other custom field, such as Long Text or Multiselect list. But first, you would need to edit the IMDb script for the IMDb actors without role and directors and then of course make these changes in the database as well

Thanks for a feedback, Ivek.
I understood your points, and this is what I did

AddCustomFieldValueByName('IMDb Cast', ItemValue1);
// Log the IMDb Cast field for verification
LogMessage('IMDb Cast: '+ItemValue1);


    //Get "plot_summary" as ~comment~ //debug_pos1-1

--- End code ---


Mysteriously and hilariously, instead of importing Cast, it imports Tv2 value into IMDb Cast field! It's some problem with ItemValue1 value that I'm trying to define, but I am not able to grasp what I'm doing wrong, so it pulls ItemValue1 from the first previous segment where it's used, and that is exactly Tv2 field in the script.


If you're willing to review and suggest snippet change, it would be appreciated as always.


P.S. Forum won't accept in the code section / div, but it's there in


<><><><>


so it's actually < / div >< / div >< / div >< / div >, without space inside, of course.

Of course it doesn't transfer the correct information because this feature is not disabled. You probably have a setting to transfer information to "Cast" ~actors~ ctActors from the Full Cast&Crew website. Find this feature in the Script Options section at the top of the script and change the settings as shown below.

--- Code: ---  //GET_FULL_CREDIT  = True ;  //Download Cast or Credit provider page for retreive the info. Otherwise only the info of the principal movie page.
  GET_FULL_CREDIT  = False ;  //Download Cast or Credit provider page for retreive the info. Otherwise only the info of the principal movie page.
--- End code ---

I will edit a special script for this, maybe today for you.

Here is a special IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_2c(Cast&Crew)_(afrocuban) script for you, which is set up to transfer information to "Cast" ~actors~ ctActors from the Full Cast&Crew website. You can also edit other person information using it.

The IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_2c script cannot transfer all person information from the primary IMDb movie pages, because it will need to make some corrections or updates to properly transfer all information again,  because some changes were made to the source code of the IMDb pages again.

IMDB_[EN][HTTPS]_TEST_2c(Cast&Crew)_(afrocuban) script is attached.
