new script CulturaliaV2 (single)

pollopolea · Post by **pollopolea** » 2004-10-03 13:45:51

Hi. I wrote this new script because culturalia has changed its search web page, and the older script doesn´t work very well now.

Now we get all avaliable data in culturalia web page (except awards) including rating, "clasificacion moral", and length.

All functions has been rewritten except findline & transformTitle.

We can choose the type of search in case we don't write the original title nor traslated one in the corresponding fields, we do it in the input box writing the following values in 'defdonde' :
0-General 1-Translated title, 2-Original Title,
The default value is 0, and its work fine.

probably I´ll merge these new funtions in the others script based in culturalia
(or perhaps folgui will do it before

)

enjoy.

(and sorry for my english!!!

)

(I´ll post my code again when we get culturalia webmaster response)

It would have been better to post in folgui's thread, since he recently updated the Culturalia scripts. Did you see his updates, by the way ?

well I wrote a new script, not a revision of folgui code, so I opened a new thread.

copy to culturalia thread

well, no need to copy the script several times

Do you script also use the special page sent by the server, or does it parse the "public" html page ?

no, I get data from the normal web page because it has got Length & Rating field.

That's not the good solution.
The webmaster accepter that AMC imports info from his site if we use his special pages that are not as heavy to load as normal pages, so it reduces the bandwidth used.
I'll contact him to ask if he can add these fields on the special page.

Before I contact him, can you give me the list of what I have to ask him to add in the special page ?

pollopolea · Post by **pollopolea** » 2004-10-04 12:01:07

all the field that there are in the normal web page, including rating, "clasificacion moral", and length.

at least he should add movie length

Hello!

That's the problem, some info is not on the "special" page and if we make/use a script to access normal page, it is not good, perhaps, culturalia's webmaster gets angry

I recommend to NOT use the new V2 script by pollopolea until antp gets an answer from culturalia's webmaster. He has been handsome with AMC in the past and perhaps in the present/future, so don't overheat him

By the way, good work pollopolea

antp, my opinion is that with just the movie length and rating is enough. Actually, i'm only using the culturalia+imdb script to get those two fields from imdb, so it should be a good chance to get it all from culturalia. Hope you get an answer from him.

Regards, folgui

2- how can I get information about pascal functions include in ant movie catalog?

thanks

1. unfortenately it is not yet possible
2. the functions that I added are described in the help file, the others are standard basic Pascal/Delphi functions, I guess that some sites explain basics for that.

I have one question:

How can i know if the user has pick "Find more" button?
Does this button do some special action?

I see this funcion:

procedure PickTreeMoreLink(Address: string);
Sets the address pointed by the button "Find more" on the PickTree window. This value is cleared by PickTreeClear, and the button is disabled if it is not initialized by PickTreeMoreLink.

I want to uses this button to get more result in a google search script.

thanks!

It sends to the script the address that you stored in it.
It is like any other item of the window : you get the address that you set with PickTreeMoreLink instead of one of the addresses set by PickTreeAdd.
So in your case you have to put into it the link to Google's next page link.
