Here are the details about my project:
Actually I am creating a movie portal using a joomla component called Jreviews (CCK), i need you to add some functionality to the component. The site will have some movies listed in it (only the ones added by users). Each listing will contain the movie information like Director, Year, Cast & Crew, Summary etc. which will be fetched from IMDB ,and listings will also contain different media links, so that users are able to watch those movies online.
Jreviews already has all the functionality for adding new listings from frontend, and adding custom fields to forms, crating customized templates etc. (basically anything you want to do)
Now here is how it will work:
When the user tries to create a new listing using Jreviews, there should be a text field at the top of the form for IMDB link, when user enters the IMDB link of movie and clicks on save, it should automatically fetch all the data from IMDB and fill in the corresponding fields in the form like Director, Year, Summary etc. ( preferred using AJAX)
Please open this link: http://tinyurl.com/l7kkre
as you will need t for reference from now on.
Our listing will look something like the link you just opened. In the frontend, there will be all the information about the movie and an option to ADD MEDIA LINK. When registered user clicks on that, it will ask for a SOURCE (predefined) in a dropdown select list, after selecting the source, user will be asked to enter a link and will have option to add as many links as he wants by clicking on add button like Link 1, Link2, Link3. Then after submitting it, it will display in frontend like something very similar to this link: http://tinyurl.com/l7kkre
It will have different sources and links associated with those sources. If its only one link, it will display WATCH FULL, if its multiple links, it will display PART 1, PART 2 etc. And each source will have thumbs up and thumbs down rating just like that link.
And for administrators, there will be an option to EDIT or DELETE those sources.
IMPORTANT: I will provide you with the IMDB fetching script and the thumbs up rating script. And if you want, I can also give you my license for Jreviews.
Jreviews’ framework is based on CakePHP and all the source code is open (unencoded).
