Update OFDB and OFDB-IMDB

[gerol]

Hello together,

you have to change the line

Code: Select all

AnalysePage('http://www.ofdb.de/view.php?page=suchergebnis&SText='+StringReplace(UrlEncode(UTF8Encode(MovieName)),'&%','%26%')+'&Kat=All');

in

Code: Select all

AnalysePage('http://www.ofdb.de/view.php?page=suchergebnis&Kat=Titel&SText='+StringReplace(UrlEncode(UTF8Encode(MovieName)),'&%','%26%'));

Otherwise films with special characters (e.g. ä, ö, ü) are not found since the 5/19/2008 any more.

Thanks. You're right and it seems to be a bug on their websites' search engine, cause a search on 'All' does not give any results there, too. Searching for title only is not the best choice, as some results might be missing, but a good solution until they fixed this problem..

OFDb 1.0.11: http://www.bad4u.741.com/full/OFDb%20%28DE%29.ifs (copy link into a NEW browser window !)

OFDb - IMDb 1.3.9: http://www.bad4u.741.com/full/OFDb%20-% ... 8DE%29.ifs (copy link into a NEW browser window !)

Btw.. on OFDB script it must be AnalyzePage instead of AnalysePage

I do not believe that it concerns a mistake.

OFDB has improved the search-engine (1-st step) and plans even other improvements (other updates become presumably necessary for the Script).
There is no category 'All' more; with 'Titel' all movies are searched:

After my experience the modified version runs clearly quick and better.

I don't use OFDb, so I don't know about current changes of the website. If they changed search options in general, the bug might not be on their search engine, but on their websites' layout, as search category 'all' is still listed on the dropdown list from 'Quicksearch' - and it neither finds correct results nor returns any error message. But like someone told me once - all that counts for the user is a working script

@bad4U

you are right:

There is a bug on the web page:
If one tries with 'Quicksearch' e.g. to find 'verbotene Schlüssel' with the option 'Alles', nothing comes. With the option 'Titel' the correct movie is shown.

The same happens with the movie 'Gas-Oil'.

'Dirty Harry' for example is found with both options.

It happens because of the special characters (e.g. ü and -).

Because I have got some messages, the Script would also not work after the patch, I have my whole Script uploaded on file-upload.net (I believe, there exist different versions.).

The download-link is:
