Customisation

Third party websites

It is now possible to use this script on websites other than IMDb itself.
Just add the website in the manage scripts panel.

Make sure you either have thirdparty cookies enabled or added imdb.com to your allowed exceptions.

Javascript options

var CONFIG = {
	label: {
		goto: true,		// use links to go to the mymovies lists instead of deleting from that category
		confirmation: true	// ask for confirmation when deleting a category with a link; NB: only used when goto:false
	},
	cleanup: true,			// Should automatically empty recycle bin
	pulldown: true, 		// a pulldown menu for every movie link
	debug:{
		level: 0,		// prints info to the error console; level 0: nothing, 1: basic log messages, 2: all; 
		popup: false		// show notifications when something gets deleted or updated 
}	};

// Colors
var COLOR = {
	link: '#606060',
	highlight: '#ddddbf',
	vote: {
		high: {text: 'white', bg: 'green'},
		medium: {text: 'black', bg: '#FFCC00'},
		low: {text: 'white', bg: 'red'},
}	};

Problems?

If you're having problems with the script the debug function might give some answers. See the CONFIG variable.

Note: movies which are in you're 'Pending' list or in the 'Recycle Bin' are ignored and not displayed. You should move them to one of the other categories in your movie list.
