## Description

Using Movie Shortcode you can easily add information about a movie, tv show, episode
or actor to a blog post.

Simply enter the shortcode: [movie imdb=”an IMDB ID”] or [movie title=”A Movie Title”]
to a blog post to add an array of information about the movie, tv show or episode;
or enter the shortcode [actor tmdb=”a TMDB person ID”] or [actor name=”An actors
name”] to a blog post to add an array of information about the actor.

### Movie

Optional attributes:

 * cachetime=”A time in minutes” – default is 1440 (24 hours)
 * plot=”short|full” – default is full
 * disable=”title,image,plot,information,rating” – comma separated list of sections
   to remove
 * image_size=”1200″ – maximum image size in pixels
 * trailer=”youtube video ID” – a youtube video ID for the movie trailer

If adding the shortcode with a title, rather than an IMDB ID, the following attributes
are also optional to find the correct entry:

 * type=”movie|series|episode”
 * year=”The year of the movie”

 * cachetime=”A time in minutes” – default is 1440 (24 hours)

## FAQ

### How do I find an IMDB ID

When viewing a movie, tv show or episode on IMDB.com, the ID is the string starting
with ‘tt’, usually in the format www.imdb.com/title/imdbid/

### How do I adjust the cache time

Add the attribute cachetime=”a time in minutes” to your shortcode

### Using the shortcode with a title returns the wrong movie

Try adding the optional attributes, type=”movie|series|episode” and year=”a year”
to refine your search result

### How do I hide the plot and information

Include the optional “disable” attribute, disable=”plot,information”
