Well, I agree that it looks cool, and I can imagine it would be useful if you do a lot of those "Post a Video" threads. I'd just like to keep the option to display it as embedded for when you have a forum set up to post threads like this.

According to Vb.com this is causing a data base error with vb blog 2.0.2 i just installed. Here is the error. Has this been address? Or do I have to unistall this product to make my blog work


Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:
Invalid SQL:
UPDATE blog_text SET ame_flag=0 WHERE blogtextid = 0;
MySQL Error : Unknown column 'ame_flag' in 'field list'

I just unistalled the AME and the blog is working. So is there a version of this that will not interfere with vb blog 2.0.2 running on 3.8.2

Digital Jedi 06-08-2009 09:05 AM
When you installed AME, did you run the process to add blog functionality?

You know LK? Heh, yeah, he's something of an internet celebrity in Yu-Gi-Oh! circles. And even he will say, that's just as meaningless as it sounds. LOL. I really like his humor. The shot he took at Naruto: The Abridged Series was just brilliant. And I wish I had thought to Rick Roll my wife at my own wedding.

Agreed, it's something that would help for heavy threads. If it did happen it would be nice if it were an add-on where you could use it per video if need be.

EDIT: You do know that LK just recently imported his forum to a vBulletin forum? I've been expecting to see either him or one of his admins lurking the modifications section.

Lets hope for heavy threads it becomes a extra for this great mod :)

Hi all, any way to get this to work with this site
www.cagefilm.com

IS a normal FLV streaming site, but doesnt seem to work. Im not up enough on coding to work out how to do it.

Any help realy appreciated!

I installed the AME awhile back. I just added the blog yesterday. If I download and reinstall AME again will it work. Is there some setting I have to change? Im not sure what you mean did I run the process to add blog functionality? I didnt have a blog when I installed it last so im guessing the answer is i didnt. So how do i do it this time if I reinstall it?

when I download the .zip file it says it is corrupted. Anyone else have this problem?

Is this mod causing a conflict with some normal type links? like to a html page?

Other links work fine but this one displays a double http:// like http://http://www...

Is it a local file or a file from another website? Either way MP3 does not come supported by default. You have to get the definitions from my add-on thread to support MP3s locally hosted on your webserver. Same for any off-site media. My add-on is linked in the add-on section above.

Make a request for it in my add-on thread so when I get around to updates I remember to add it to the list of sites to look at.

That was your problem. When you install the blog after you install AME you have to run the integration tool in your AME CP to add the proper column to your database. Always check your AME Tools before you start installing/uninstalling AME. Yes, if you install AME now it should notice the blog automatically.

Try downloading it from another computer or after restarting your computer.

Depends on if you have another link modification installed.

I have done exhaustive research and can firmly state that while AME is a great idea, whenever it is active and a user creates a new thread (not a reply) the site takes nearly 30 seconds to refresh...

With AME simply disabled via plugin interface and all other plugins active, the refresh is only 1-2 seconds.

I haven't read through the entire AME forum yet to see if there is a solution? But I am running the latest version and I have been using it for a while. This is why it took me so long to diagnose the problem. I kept looking at plugins I installed recently, not the AME (which I had for a while)....


I do have the FULL list of AME plugins installed, not sure if that a problem oh....
And I am also noticing it more on a government network than a civilian one.

Perhaps the blocking of YouTube and the rest helps create this bottle neck?

Would this happen even on a non-AME post (i.e. text only) - I mean to be honest, I rarely need to benifits of AME as my users don't normally post video and things, but I saw this slow down when simply typing "Testing 12345678"....

When I disabled....

Gone....


Let me add that I am using VBOptimizer and XCache as well....
Oh, and I - ofcourse - enabled any AME optimizations (caching) as well...
This can be an issue and is pretty well documented wherever I could (and also easily worked around).

AME has the ability to go 'fetch' a web page when it discovers a definition match. A good example of this in action is that your youtube.com video link transforms into the video's page title.

So... AME finds a match (and if the setting is on) will go to that page and parse it for information. Generally its just the page title. Sometimes it is to ensure the video can be embedded, etc...

So... If you post 50 youtube.com links in a post and the 'enable extraction' setting is on and the youtube definition has its extraction on, AME will go to youtube 50 times while you are saving your post. That will be a noticeable slowdown. Multiply it by your sites connectivity (i.e. if the site has choked bandwidth, it will be even slower).

The good news is that AME only ever does this when you are saving a post that contains one or more matching definitions. The other good news is that you can also disable the extraction setting both globally as well as per definition (though note that some definitions rely on this feature).

Anyhooo... HTHs

I am sure this could be done by just editing the templates, but currently have no plans to expand the feature set. I assume next time I crack open the code will be to develop a version for vb4.0.

Nice effect though :)

I wasn't able to get this working. I followed all of the instructions, installed without error, and then went through the settings but it's like it's completely dead. It doesn't do anything.

I've tried tons of YouTube links but nothing. Link: http://47th.info/comms/showthread.ph...ted=1#post3652

Any ideas?

Very basic but common mistake is having the AME product turned off in the top setting. Make sure Disable New Items is set to No. Also check your Usergroup Permissions and remember that for some testing you have to edit already posted messages.

No, it's definitely set to "No" in that disable new stuff option and when it wasn't working my usergroup permissions was one of the first things I checked but that's kosher too.

I thought maybe I had fudged the chmod on that amecache folder or something but it was all sevens so... yeah, I'm lost on this one :confused:

Ryloth 06-15-2009 06:05 PM
So this step:

Adding index to post table. Please standy by.... this bit can take a few...

Has now been running for over 30 hours.

I am running it in a browser window from my server. It hangs on trying to create an index apparently. What is your suggestion? I am half tempted to remove this step from the product and create the index in mysql on my own. The post table has over 2 million rows and is myisam.

Kavadas 06-15-2009 06:16 PM
Alright, I finally got AME working (and it's great!) but I have one more n00b question. I went ahead and created a custom BBCode entry for AME through the AdminCP. The button is up on my post editor toolbar and it correctly adds the BBCode tags. When I submit a post it displays correctly and works fine but when I hit preview or go to edit the AME tags simply revert to URL tags the message field itself.

Meaning that if I preview something and submit my AME tags switch to URL tags in the message editor box. Or if I go to edit something they'll switch to URL and screw up the post unless you manually change the URL tags back into AME tags.

In the "replacement" field I currently have:
Code:
<div class="ame"> {param} </div>
What should I stick in here to prevent this from happening?

I am not sure why you would do this? AME was designed so that you and your users just had to paste the URLs in the post. AME will do the rest.

That would indeed work, but you wouldnt have to take the step out of the product file, ame will silently skip the step if the column is already there.

I lay money on the fact that something is being overlooked. The most common mistakes centred around the 'it doesn't work' arena are:

1- Users install product and go 'refresh' a page that has a media URL in it. AME doesn't work this way. AME will sprinkle its magic onto a post only when AME is installed and the post is saved (or rebuilt using the tools)

2- Users are pasting a youtube video into a post, but the video they are posting has external embedding disabled so AME just links to the video instead of showing you a broken one ;) (in other words, it is actually working)

3- Usergroup permissions are wrong

4- Cache setup wrong (disable the file cache to test).

5- They are trying to install on phpBB. Fail.

AME only works for me when I surround the media's URL with AME and /AME (bracketed, of course).

1. I didn't refresh a page to see if it worked. I created a new post with several links from various video tube sites (G4TV, YouTube, Google Video).

2. Like I said, I posted multiple videos from multiple sites.

3. I've checked and rechecked usergroup permissions. Everything is kosher here (as mentioned in a previous post this was the first thing I checked for troubleshooting).

4. Cache setup is not wrong. It's currently set as enabled, the folder is place in the correct directory, and it is CHMODded to "777." There are no cache alerts at the top of the AME CP options page.

5. My site utilizes vBulletin 3.8.3.

That means AME was installed before vbBlog. Check the AME tools menu in the admincp. There is an option to add the ame_flag column you need ;)

Do you have vbseo running and if so, are you using it to track outbound links? Or maybe any other link modifying hack?

Thorsten, click on admincp >> ame cp >> display definitions >>

Then, scroll down to the Amazon thumbnails and click on the actual "Amazon (Thumbnails)" link and click on it. Then, you'll see the "Media Definition Code". The bottom of the two boxes (Replacement) is the one where you'll find where to put the 'tag' for your code.

An example is
Code:
title="{$ameinfo[title]}?tag=waldisboa-20"
and you'd replace the "waldisboa-20" with your code.

Hope that helps ... good luck :up:

got it installed after i commented out the "index" portion which is really adding a column to a table. i added it manually.

youtube links wont parse though. i get an icon then a link. i read your FAQ and you say it is b/c it is not allowed to be embedded. i have to look into it more b/c it was doing it for every one of them.

anywho... 8.3.3 and it works.

daFish 06-22-2009 09:41 AM
What a fantastic mod.
However, I've a question about removing definitions: I've imported the list from DJ and noticed, that Amazon was also in the list. So I kicked all 3 of them out.
But when I posted a new entry containing an url from Amazon, the image still showed up and the url didn't got converted using another mod for the affiliate link.

Are the definitions getting cached somewhere or do I need to re-run the tool for rebuilding the posts again?

Ryloth 06-22-2009 11:10 AM
^^ there is a setting in the AME CP that is yes/no to cache definitions

Ryloth 06-22-2009 11:02 PM
ok so 3.8.3 and youtube def does not work. it always wraps it w/ a URL tag and puts the following image before it:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/06/13.png


I have no other URL or video parsing items installed on my website. Could this be a vbulletin setting interfering?


If I wrap them in AME tags, it works fine.

newsoftw 06-23-2009 11:48 AM
