| | Posted: | | | | First off; great program, great community. Quick thanks to Gadgeteer, whose Widescreen plus layout I am using, and RHO & Goodguy whose plug-ins are some of the most useful pieces of coding I have ever had the pleasure of using. Also anyone to else who has contributed, thanks.
Down to business. Is there a HTML window that directs itself to the DVD on Amazon? Like the IMDb and Wikipedia windows in Gadgeteers layout? I am entering a rather large DVD collection and find myself referencing Amazon for DVD features quite a bit. Not having to switch out of Profiler would save quite a bit of time.
If not, would it be possible to recode the Wikipedia page to do it? I'm not a code monkey but I have coded a little before. I did a google search for pulling info off of Amazon and all I got was Amazon deals! Could some kind soul direct me to information I would need to do this?
Thanks |

| | Posted: | | | | I got this from someone's layout, can't remember whose. Just paste this into a new HTML section you create. Quote:
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
<DP NAME="HEADER_VARS" Language="JavaScript" Comments="True" IncludeCast="False" IncludeCrew="False">
function amazon() {
var UPC = DP_UPC;
var matchErg = DP_Notes.match(/asin:\s*(.+)$/i);
if (matchErg) {
var amazonlink = "http://www.amazon.com/dp/" + matchErg[1];
} else {
var amazonlink = "http://www.amazon.com/s?url=search-alias%3Ddvd&field-keywords=" + UPC;
}
window.location.href= amazonlink;
}

| | Posted: | | | | Gave this a try (altering amazon.com to amazon.co.uk) and it is not fully working as it adds extra characters to the end of the UPC ".4" for the region 2 for example
e.g. 5035822908031.4
If I remove that and search again in the window the dvd is found.
Any idea how I can stop the extra info which is (I think) to do with the region .4 ?

RAP Add this, just after "var UPC ...." var ix = UPC.indexOf("."); if (ix > 0) UPC = UPC.substring(0, ix); I didn't test it, but it should be close. | | | Thanks for your support.

var ix = UPC.indexOf(".");
if (ix > 0) UPC = UPC.substring(0, ix);
I didn't test it, but it should be close. It works. | | | | Last edited: by Antares |

| | Posted: | | | | Thanks, very nice. For anyone who's interested, here's my modified version that fits into the layout columns. If you change the TLD back to .com, you have to delete/comment the two lines after "var UPC = DP_UPC;". Quote:

Are you sure? It is looking for a "." in the UPC and does nothing if not there. So, no change should be necessary. | | | Thanks for your support.
