This profile helps you set up a web service consumed by Tiki through a movie database tracker: whenever you add a new item (movie record), you will be able to add extra information from that movie fetched by a web service from the omdb database.

1.1. Tiki Features

These Tiki features are enabled:

• Wiki pages, Tracker items and web services.

1.2. Further configuration steps

Add Web service

You need to setup your webservices here:

• System menu > Settings > Webservices (tiki-admin_webservices.php)

Add this information:

• url: http://www.omdbapi.com/?apikey=XXXXXXXX&i=%id% (replacae XXXXXXXX with your own omdb apikey)
• Type: REST
• Body of POST request:
  (leave this previous box empty)

And click at | Lookup | button.

Then test the parameters defined. You can test with:

• id: tt0042650
• Bypass cache (X) (leave it checked)

And click at | Test Input | button

This will produce some results a the "Response Information" box, in json format. And they should contain a section with 1 [record]

Then you can register this web service by means of:

1. providing this short alphanumeric name for it: omdbapiid (since it's the predefined web service name expected by wiki pages created by this tiki profile), and
2. click at the | Register Service | button

Once the web service is registered, then you can register a webservice template, providing this information in the form at the bottom of that page:

• Name: omdbapiid (template name needs to be short and only with alphanumeric characters)
• Engine: Smarty
• Output: HTML
• (Text area field):
  

  <pre style="display:none">{$response|var_dump}</pre>
  Title: {$response.Title}<br>
  Year: {$response.Year}<br>

And click at | Register Template | button.

Last, you will need to rebuild the unified search index again:

• Rebuild unified search index

1.3. How to use it....

Add a new tracker item in the Films database, and provide the omdb id for the new film you want to fetch information for.
For instance:

• tt0493459
• tt0042650
• tt0055905

The tracker item created in Tiki will have the extra information provided by the api service.
