If i wanna link my jukebox skin to your msp plugin... what sorta html link do i need to use?


For instance, i wanna be able to link Matt Damon's name from the "cast" list in my skin, to a search query for Matt Damon in your imdb plugin.


so i'm assuming i'd need a href of some sort like this...

Hi Excal,

sorry for my late reply.
Here's the href for a search:

Code:

<a href="http://msp.florisvanderploeg.com/imdb/scripts/imdb_search.php?SearchType=SearchNames&QueryString=Matt+Damon">Matt Damon</a>

if the search only returns 1 entry, you will be taken to the info page directly. If you know the IMDB id, you can also do it like this:

Code:

<a href="http://msp.florisvanderploeg.com/imdb/scripts/imdb_getactor.php?IMDbUrl=/name/nm0000354/">Matt Damon</a>

If you want the "Back to overview" button to point to your own page, you can add the &BackURL=... entry to the href:

Code:

<a href="http://msp.florisvanderploeg.com/imdb/scripts/imdb_search.php?SearchType=SearchNames&QueryString=Matt+Damon&BackURL=YourBackPage">Matt Damon</a>

Hope this helps you out!
