saving non-articles metadata : URL not taken in IMDB

Armaydie
I just would like to report that URL are not taken in IMDB. (Eg: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0382330/?ref_=nv_sr_1 ). Did I forget an option somewhere, or is it a bug?

    URL (as part of the metadata) should point to the actual resource, not a catalog (IMDB) entry. Whether we can attach a link to IMDB is another question. Generally, users don't want to clutter their libraries with such attachments.

    I understand the logic, its indeed logical. I could probably do something with the translator tool, I'll see. Thank you for your reply aurimas!

    This is the way to add the url of a movie in the metadata.

    Open the file IMDb.js in your Zotero\translators folder and add this line :

    item.url = "http://www.imdb.com/title/" + obj.imdbID;


    just above : item.extra = "IMDB ID: " + obj.imdbID; (around line 112)

    restart zotero and you are done !
