Name:Ruby IMDB Company: I would love some... I'm so lonely.. Date: Feb 18th-ish 2007 Reversion: 0.2 Statment: This ruby classes allows you to access basic information about movies from IMDB. IMDB is a one stop source for movie information. Requirements: * A computer * Ruby 1.8.4 or greater (http://www.ruby-lang.org/en/) * hpricot 0.5 or greater (http://code.whytheluckystiff.net/hpricot/wiki/InstallingHpricot) If you would like to make include this in a rails application but not have complete access to installing the hpricot library you can make hpricot a plugin. (works for most gems) 1)Make rails project 2)ruby script/gen plugin hpricot 3)Gem install a)If you can on the server change the gem root to a local file you have RW access to and gem install hpricot b)If you can not gem install on the server do it locally,but do not cross windows with linux (different flavors do not seem to matter to much) 4) Locate the installed gem package 5) Copy lib and ext from the gem to ror/vendor/plugins/hpricot/ 6) Should work like a champ. I always like to hear how my code can be improved and any suggestions. sbeckeriv *at* gmail Coded with Komodo Edit 4.0
