feedback on movie database integration

Justoverclock

i'm working on something that can be used by a lot of community

p.s. now is raw content with no CSS, and i need feedback from you guys.

i'm not sure that the best place is under posts.....

maybe into a custom page? idk where for now, no idea

Not sure how crowded this would make the title bar when starting a discussion, but there could be an option alongside the Choose Tags/Add a Poll buttons? Maybe an Add a Film button?

I know the Xenforo addon that does this will pull the information from TMDb into a post when entering the movie ID or direct link inside the post. There is also this forum that has a separate page for movie searches and it links to forum reviews and discussions of that particular movie.

Great idea @Justoverclock

I would pay for premium extension like that (only for games from IGDB API database). Movies or games should be assigned to discussions, and this is my idea how it should look like.

Tag and title is fetched from native Flarum Hero filed. Description, image and rating is fetched from IMDB/IGDB database. Bonus points would be for the option which will enable for forum users to make their own ratings.

hrvoje_hr in the hero is a great idea, but how to display that? based on title?

Justoverclock my suggestion is to manually assign it trough the discussion options

Would something like this can be doable?

Would it be within the scope of your knowledge and work on this extension to do what this site has done? For my particular use case, it would be great to use this extension as a sort of on-site database that offers links to discussions and reviews on the forum. Search a movie, pull up the information from TMDb on a nice looking page and pull in discussions, reviews, etc, related to that film or tv show.

It might also be beneficial to pull in the trailer/trailers from TMDb so users wouldn't have to leave the site to view new trailers and such.

stryguardian well, to be honest all of these feautures can be a lot of work.

But I will try something that can be useful

i think that this is the right direction, automatic fetch of the new discussions, if the discussion title match a film that exist into database, this happen:
