Where are you getting your movie ratings from?

**ThePheonix** · 08/29/09 02:37 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

thepiratebay.com top movies by number of seeders

**Smitington** · 08/29/09 02:48 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

Here's what I figured out, if you type the movie title into googles search bar followed by site:www.imdb.com usually the first search result is the imdb page for that movie, so if you could somehow extract the movie title from your list and perform a google search using the format "title site:www.imdb.com" and use googles I'm feeling lucky function (takes you to the first search result), you could create the link to the imdb page that way. From there you would have to figure out a way to preview the webpage of a given link within another webpage.

Thanx bro. Anyone else?

**zouden** · 08/29/09 04:19 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

Smitington's way is probably the most reliable. Nice idea!

Use this link:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0468569/
check it out, it even works if you spell the name wrong:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0361748/
The btnI=745 at the end forces a Feeling Lucky search.

edit: whoa, the link is so good that the shroomery is following the redirect! Wrapping it in code tags stops that. Here's the urls:

Code:

http://www.google.com/search?q=the+dark+knight+site:imdb.com&btnI=745
http://www.google.com/search?q=inglorious+bastards+site:imdb.com&btnI=745

So, use those links in combination with javascript or php to display a screenshot (look online for that) and there you go.

you guys are the shit

Once you have a URL you can also use http://www.pageglimpse.com/ to provide a screenshot of the actual page itself. That's what we use if you have "show preview of outgoing links" enabled in your display settings.

Dude you have a kickass answer for every question I ask. So if your feeling generous and it's not to late how about 1 or 2 more?

I've been building my site and have it stored on my pc. I got lazy, and when I add images to it in dreamweaver, I click add image then browse to it and select. I uploaded my test homepage today. I went to my dads house and when I went to my site, no images were showing up. I hadn't uploaded the folder with my images in it. So my question is. Am I going to have to change the paths in the links to the images now? Or will it somehow work when I upload the folder with the pics?

Should I just store them online?

Also I know even less about forums, but I think I heard of using some sort of programs or "engines" to run one? Does this sit use something like that?

And how come if I type my site name in google it cant find that shit?

p.s. I uploaded the pics and it still dont work. They show the outline for a second then they disappear. ???? WTF

**Ythan** · 08/31/09 02:50 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

Hmm, well I'm not really sure of the answer your first question since I haven't used Dreamweaver in years. But basically, yes, you have to make sure all links and images point to the correct location on the server, which may be different from their location on your local machine.

For instance, I don't know what your source looks like, but say Dreamweaver spits out something like this:

<img src="file:///c:/images/someimage.jpg">

That will work on your computer, since presumably c:\images\someimage.jpg exists. But once you upload it to the web, you'll need to change it to something like this:

<img src="https://proxy.mind-media.com/proxy.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yourhost.com%2Fima%3Cwbr%3Eges%2Fsomeimage.jpg">

If you can show me a page which exhibits this problem, I may be able to offer more specific advice.

As far as forums go, most people don't write them from scratch these days, there are a lot of good options pre-written and ready to go. If you want something free check out SMF or phpBB, or if you're looking for commercial support and more features I'd recommend vBulletin or IP.Board.

Google takes a while to find new sites, especially if there aren't any other sites linking to them. You can use their URL submission form to expedite the process.

Hope this helps. :smile:

**ThePheonix** · 08/31/09 02:54 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

My site is Worthywebstylez.co.cc

I know it sucks, but I'm really new to this.

You can see the outline of the pics start to load then they go away.

**Ythan** · 08/31/09 03:17 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

Hmmm, maybe I'm missing something but I don't see any broken images on that page. Every element returns a 200 (found) response code, and there are no obvious visual glitches for me.

Can you point me to a specific example where something isn't working as it should?

**ThePheonix** · 08/31/09 03:23 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

I just fixed them. I uploaded them to photobucket and then linked to them,I would like to store them on the server but it seems like more of a hassle that way.

Thanx for taking the time to look though.]

Where did you get that stuff you just posted, what is that?

**Ythan** · 08/31/09 03:28 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

I use HTTP Analyzer to debug web site problems, mostly because it can handle SSL connections. Plenty of other option too, but that's what works for me. It's a good way to see instantly if you have broken links or are inadvertently returning any sort of error codes.

**zouden** · 08/31/09 04:12 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

My web developer friends rave about Firebug, looks like it does similar things.

**Ythan** · 08/31/09 04:20 AM (17 years, 2 months ago)

Firebug is as essential tool for web development, but it doesn't work with SSL which is why I use other tools for traffic monitoring. Even so, no developer should be without it. It offers much more functionality than just traffic monitoring, such as the ability to set breakpoints, inspect and edit the DOM, etc. Between that and the Web Developer Toolbar, you're pretty much covered when it comes to debugging.
