Version 0.3.1.1, minor improvement: does not magnify the photo placeholders.

 
Douglas Adams User

Chris,

I appreciate the response, but I much prefer the way that your script enlarged the headshots, it is a lot prettier.

 
Chris Noé Script's Author

Version 0.3.1 makes the iMDB navigation bar collapsible. Click the blue triangle to collapse it (less clutter), or to expand it (more functionality).

Enjoy.

Hi Doug, If all you want is the headshot magnifier you might want to try this script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/4169

 
Douglas Adams User

Chris,

could you please show me how to edit this script to included the enlarged headshots only (the whole scripts slows IMDB for me)

Thank you!

Latest version fixes headshot magnifier on full cast list pages. Enjoy..

First of all, great script.
But I'm experiencing a problem: headshot magnifier doesn't work when I choose full cast list (otherwise it's OK). Any way to solve it?

Well I don't *use* CSS per se. It's more like CSS "intrudes" on all aspects of a page, (as it's designed to do). The only way to fully control add-on elements like my dialogs would be to specify every formatting detail of every tiniest item. Unfortunately that increases the complexity, and severely limits flexibility. So as a script author I have to strike some balance of assumptions, and undesired interactions between greasemonkey scripts is a well-known issue without a simple solution.

What is the "userstyle" that you are referring to? Is it a greasemonkey script, or some other kind of configuration? I'm willing to test it, and I'll adjust IMDb Weaver if it is non-intrusive.

Awesome script. Would like if you could set the color of the text as a constant instead of using the CSS.

I'm trying to use this with a userstyle that gives it a white on blue look. Looks great except in the prefs screen and the research box they come up as white text on the white background.

Would you be so kind as to fix this?

 
Dink Scriptwright

thanks for the tip...I should have thought of that....
I put weaver first in my list of imdb script to it runs first...
works great!!

 
Chris Noé Script's Author

That would explain it Dink. If your script converts the minutes before my script runs, then blamo, my assumptions about the page go out the window!

 
Dink Scriptwright

I also use a script that converts imdb runtimes intoo hours and minutes...

it seems that if i use both scripts at the same time that the runtimes from the weaver script is the ones that do not display correctly...

link to the other script i mentioned is below...

Chris Noé Script's Author

The runtimes look right to me, Dink. Any particular movie(s) where you're seeing the problem?

 
Dink Scriptwright

the "length of movie" time under the title is not coming out right....

 
Chris Noé Script's Author

Er, that's the lower right corner of the screen...

 
Chris Noé Script's Author

Latest version features a new Preferences dialog box. See [Prefs] button in the lower left. Enjoy!

 
Dink Scriptwright

could the enlarged actor pictures be made to enlarge when you hover over the actor's name as well as the pic??

 
Chris Noé Script's Author

The Headshot Magnifier (again). This version also removes the annoying new Flash ads. Enjoy...

 
Neewb Scriptwright

Rollover photos stopped working.

Thanks for the suggestion Joanna. Age is currently calculated based on year only, because dates can appear in a variety formats, and the year is easiest to identify, (or that it's not there at all). Given your interest, I'll take a look at it again.

Note that ages on a title page are actually as of the release date. Since it can take up to a year to make a movie, everyone was actually a year younger.

 
Joanna User

Sorry, I didn't noticed that "Show ages" shows the age of actor in the moment when film was made. But there's still a bug in displaying the age because months aren't taken into account.

 
Joanna User

Great idea, specially with age. There's just one little problem with age. Let's say, an actress was born on August 1987. Then the script shows her age (20) correctly on the page of a movie. But on the actress' page she's already one year older.
It would be nice to have under the title not only the length of the film and the language but also the country.

 
KaraGarga Scriptwright

I like the your idea: "Show Ages". Thanks for this useful script.
