IMDB and rotten tomatoes is good for english movies, but for asian movies it's quite limited. I've been trying to add asianwiki to the links but can't get it to work.
Can anyone nice enough give me the coding for the search to make http://asianwiki.com/Main_Page work? thanks

[MrC]

To search on the Name field, try this search URL:

http:////asianwiki.com//index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=Replace([Name],/ , +)&fulltext=Search

See the filled-in dialog in the attached image.

Nice one MrC,

The "Paste from clipboard" option works really well in the link manager too...

Code: [Select]

<Link version="1.2">
<Item Name="Name">AsianWiki</Item>
<Item Name="Action">1</Item>
<Item Name="Base URL">http://asianwiki.com/index.php</Item>
<Item Name="Search URL">http:////asianwiki.com//index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&amp;search=Replace([Name],/ , +)&amp;fulltext=Search</Item>
<Item Name="Filter">[Media Type]=[Video]</Item>
</Link>Copy the code above then hit that clipboard button to have it all imported automagically. This has the link limited to only files of media type "Video"

Also nice.  I didn't know about this one.

Thanks, it 'works' but not in the same way it works like imdb/rotten tomatoes. For example if I manually use asianwiki in link search it finds it but only gives me a search page result.
Is there anyway for it to auto find the entry including the cover jpgs like it does with imdb/rotten tomatoes instead of having to manually select the page? Thanks.

[MrC]

Try this Search URL instead:

   http:////asianwiki.com//index.php?title=Special%3ASearch&search=Replace([Name], / , +)&go=Go

Better effort thanks, but still doesn't automatically link to movie. If I manually select asianwiki to find the film it takes me to a search result page while that's handy , I was wondering if it could auto update the movie profile/cover like it does with imdb/rotten tomatoes or is that not possible? Since I have a huge selection of asian dramas that I want to catalog that isn't cataloged on IMDB.


Considering asian media covers the 2nd biggest movie industry after USA with a hugefanbase internationally I'm surprised it isn't on there by default.

Anyway thanks again for your quick responses.

I tested the link against the movie title "Straw Shield", and the site directed me directly to the Straw Shield page.

What movie title did you try?

I suppose some movie titles will be ambiguous, and the site will direct you to the search page for further refinement.

You'll have to ask the MC developers to add this site to the auto-lookup site list for movies.  (I suppose you just did).

It works in link search asianwiki if I add the rules media type is video.

But the main problem still remains is there anyway to connect asianwiki to auto fill in coverart/movie info if I click on get movie/tv info like it does from imdb/rotten tomatoes?
I know it links it to the asianwiki page, but it doesn't copy over the cover art/info automatically which is what I'd appreciate.

thanks!
