When I upload an actor I want a shortcut of the IMDB site from the actor on the page, sometimes it is , sometimes non, can you help me

Hi,

Are you using several scripts for movies/persons ?
This may occur if you've downloaded a person (or all his/her movies) using another script than imdb script.

You can get the imdb shortcut displayed on person's page just by adding the URL in the person update window, 'Other' tab.
Or, use imdb script to update the person's infos.

I only use IMDB scripts and it doesn work

maybe a plugin for give all the persons their IMDB shortcut ???????????????

P.S. the movies have all their IMDB shortcut but the people not

Maybe the following workaround may do it :
The idea is to identify movies that have at least one person without person imdb url and then update those movies so that persons imdb url are 'refreshed'.

To be done first on a TEST (copied) database...

Step by step :
- Import (hit 'import' and copy/paste) following query into ExtraQueries plugin- Use export button to get the list into excel for instance
- copy/paste that Ids list into add movie window
-> this will bulk download movie data (and, as a consequence, persons imdb urls) for movies having at least one person without imdb url...

Please let me know if it did the job.

Script for persons = IMDB

Hmmm... As i can see there is an url entry but the link is blank, right ?
Was that url entry (with blank url but 'imdb' as site name) present before running the query ?
If the answer is yes then try to :
- manually delete that entry using the minus button
- download again infos for one of his movies
- check again that person url entries

Thanks Again Jef for your help

You're welcome.

Now you may want to fix all actors in a go, don't you?
So here's the modifed query which should take into account present but blank url entries... You already know the steps.
