script for www.dvd.nl ?

Post by Harry »

I've been testing around with scripts but I cannot make one for the website www.dvd.nl

It's A nice Dutch website with dvd-reviews .

My problem is that I know nothing about programming.

By trying to adjust other script I cannot let it find the right adress.

I wonder if someone can create me a script. or send me a script that is simular build up. So that I can adjust it easely?

the script should look at baseadress : http://www.dvd.nl/reviews.php
for the name of movie , go to that line & jump to position right after : href="http://www.dvd.nl/reviews.php?reviewid=
read the chars until it encounters char ' "> ' (its a number)

then it should go to the adress : http://www.dvd.nl/reviews.php?reviewid=xxx (where xxx = the chars(number) read above)

once on the page I think I can by copying from others scripts en adjusting some things let the rest work (finding year,producer ,actors etc..)

In the returned page, just search for all the reviews.php?reviewid= strings. These are the ones to put in the Picklist (with http://www.dvd.nl/ added in front of them of course)

The return page seems not to be the valid one.

when I do the search then for "reviews.php?reviewid=" It only finds the films listed on the right site of the page without the found entries at the centre of the page.

I think the problems are :
that when the page opens the first time , the centre of the page is not the list of the found entries but an Ad.
In IE at the second time it display then right.
But when I build this in the script it end in an endless loop or it just finds no movies

This ad thing is a problem :/
It probably checks referers and/or cookies, but none is currently managed. For that you'll have to wait for a 4.x version of Ant Movie Catalog.
