If I removed all that description data and just leave the URL would that work?

Please excuse my ignorance! I have read through everything but I am a little unsure as to how I convert [anymedia] tags from Crist's previous hack. Does the tool with this handle that too?

Works perfectly now, thanks a million :up:

I am also wondering the same thing. Probably i'll try this tonight on my test forum. But i realized something funny :) This doesn't work with GARS first post :D

Edit : I tried convertng media tags however it doesn't work. The Conversions option is always causing errors. Sam if you need info PM me , i'll supply you login info to my test board.

@Heath, you would still need a plug in to handle the saving of the RSS feed which wouldnt be hard, but would need looking into.

@Flea, it should do... you just need to know the format that the new URL would have to take on. What does the data look like in the tag? I suspect that the conversion tool would need anymedia in the first box and \1 in the second - but im not 100% sure without knowing what the tags look like.

@Liz, sure pass on the details and ill give it a go. There isnt a reason why it shouldnt work in GARS threads.

@Liz - converted no problem :)

The [media] tags (or any tag that has the full URL in it) is simple. The code setting is media and the conversion is \1
I ran it on your test board and it converted all the media tags to url tags.

You can then use the rebuild posts tool to convert those to your new codes.

The GARS thread was fine. The problem was that either the posts need rebuilding OR you need to edit/resave for AME to convert the URL tags.
Looks like your [youtube] code will also be straight forward to convert. Do it the same as the media explained above.

Just make sure you read the admicp help on the converting tool and rember that the tool only converts tags back to normal URL tags. After that, use rebuild posts tool to convert them to AME tags.

HTHs

wow, I can't believe I've seen this

Thanks Sam :)

I still dont quite get how to add additional xmls I see the import I tried all the xmls posted and only one worked but it was redundant already installed. with default settings. Geek are you going to be adding all these extras posted in the next update as part of the package?

I amy add yahoo and a couple others, but I would rather leave the rest as options to reduce overheads.

Once you import, the screen takes you to another screen that enables you to then add them. Are you not getting that?

Sam can I suggest a feature ^^

You said you can import extra video sharing sites, so you don't have to build them in to save overhead right?

Why not create an import which has all the video sharing sites in the one import? I would like to have all the video sharing sites that there are, but others may not. so then the people who don't, can just import the single video sharing imports ^^ and the people who want the lot, can import the complete list of them ^^

I would create it, but ill leave it to the more advanced users :)
