Heh, that's kind of funny. I'd seen the BBCode mod and didn't even think about an AME version.

Heh :) AME is powerful enougth, especially 2.5 with separate containers. I don't understand, why people use it only for video & music.

Investigated google maps links. Bad news is, that embedded link requires security token. Good news is, that in AME 2.5 you can make a separate container and play where with Google Maps API. Not so easy, as lmgtfy.xml, but possible.

I have proposal for AME 2.5 - until not released, there is possibility to add 1 more field to definitions: call defined php script instead regular expression to build output. For such complicated cases as google maps.

That will make a great flexibility for link parsing. I like AME concept "don't think, just post your link".

Hey, remember to add this one to the master XML!

I have 3.6.8 and want to try this mod. I understand it is built for 3.7.x
Has anyone verified it will work on 3.6.8?

Well, looks like Vitaly wants to keep track of that one himself. But I may do a variation on that same theme.


AME 2.0 should work on 3.6 as well. So far I see no reason why not. But you can always test it out on your demo board. You can also still download the 3.6 version in the 3.6 mods section.

That's just to collect & fix bugs. You can include it without restrictions. If it's necessary, i can add appropriate text on that page.

Sounds good to me.

Yeah, and it's better that way because we'll have all in one package :)

When i post WMV Videos they still play automatically when i use Firefox or Opera.
In Internetexplorer the autoplay = false works...

How can i change this please?

Is <param name="autostart" value="false"> not working?

Hello Digital!

I'm on 3.7.4 PL1


1. PDF

Embed Locally Hosted .pdf Files Using The PDFMENOT Viewer! does not work.
I always getting an "Invalid PDF URL!" error.

Going to pdfmenot.com and adding the same URL there it works.

Is this a known issue?



2. WMV

Embed Locally Hosted .wmv Videos! is also buggy.
Video is embedded and works.
But everything written AFTER the video URL is urled too.



3. Picasa Web Albums

Is there a possibity to make Picasa Web Album slideshows embedding too?



4. Wikimapia

Is there a possibity to make Wikimapia URLs embedding too?


Happy New Years Eve,
Andreas

Yes, I'm looking into making this additional URL structure convert.


Be sure to always include the http:// in the URL, or the viewer cannot find the document. Also make sure the document isn't encrypted.



I'd need to see what your Regular Expression for your WMV videos definition. That should not be happening.



I'll certainly look them over to see if it's possible.

It's not encrypted and yes, I've tried it with all possible versions (with / without http://, with / without www.), but doesn't work. It's no secret: That's the file I've tried to embed: http://www.trekkingforum.com/upload/Kackar-Gebirge.pdf

I haven't changed it:
replacement:

Picase Webalbum & Wikimapia
Would be great and highly appreciated. Till now I've defined bb-Codes for these, but they are a bit complicated and users use it very rarely.

Andreas

Go into your .PDF definition's Replacement HTML and try changing the instance of {$url} to {$p1} and see if that fixes things for you.


Mind if I see the page where this is over reaching? It could be just the way the post was formatted.

I modified the DJ XML so that you don't have to delete the default definitions.
Also added http://uk.youtube.com to it

The reason that you wouldn't want to do that, is because the definitions that come with AME are not kept up to date on a regular basis. This is the only thread that keeps up with the definitions and updates them each time their websites make changes to their existing code. MySpace, for example, I'll be updating soon, and the stock MySpace definition that comes with AME no longer functions. Amazon has also been updated twice since the previous release of AME 2.5. So your going to want to delete your stock definitions if you want to maintain functionality. The Geek doesn't plan on updating his mod but in the event of a major upgrade, and that's if he has the spare time.

Also, my existing YouTube defintions already supports all the international YouTube sites http://www.cogonline.net/forums/show...477#post370477

pdf works with {$p1} Thanks!

question: is it possible to increase the quality of the pdf? And wouldn't it be easier to define an iframe instead pdfmenot?

Second issue: wmv, I've PMed you login datas for you to see it yourself.

A.

The quality is handled on PDFMeNot's end, so we wouldn't be able to adjust that. PDFMeNot is actually converting your PDF into Flash for readability. An iframe wouldn't necessarily give you better controls, nor would it be necessarily be easier to read, especially for those that don't want their viewer that large.

Alternatively, you could try uploading your PDF's to www.scribd.com. They're kind of a YouTube for documents type site and also supported in my Master XML.



Go into your WMV definitions and lets test something. I have some HTML code in the title of the definition. It doesn't really serve any purpose other then to make the title of the definition bold and italicized in the AME CP. For some reason, either your server or something in vBulletin will strip out the last few characters if the name is too long. Since I have HTML in their, it's showing up as incomplete when a video is posting and likely the cause of your problem.

You can do one of two things. The closing </b> tag is missing it's closing bracket: </b You can try and put that > back in there and save it and see if it doesn't get stripped out again, or you can remove the HTML in the title altogether: <b><i>TITLE HERE</i></b>. (Or you can try putting the bracket back and just shortening the name)

@pdf issue: makes sense, iframe would be too big for most
will have a look at Scribd...

@wmv issue: you were right: there was always the last ">" deleted. Is done automatically by vB. I've counted it: only 50 characters are taken.

Thanks
A.

***Updates***

Okay gang, here's your first set of updates for 2009. I'll update the 2.5 thread later tonight. Hope you enjoy and here's a rundown of what's new.

WHAT"S NEW

**Internal Linking
You may notice the new set of defs towards the top of your list called Internal Linking. This set is entirely optional, of course, but will auto convert internal links using the info between your forum's <title></title> tags. It will also add a small image to the start of the tag based on your forums favicon image. (NOTE: If no favicon shows up, make a copy of the favicon in your website's root directory and add it to your forum's root directory)

This set includes defs that will convert Threads, Posts, Forums and Categories, as well as auto format a link to a member's profile page with their User Name. (The member link doesn't include a favicon image. You can add it if you want.)

This has not been thoroughly tested on a forum other then my own. So give me some feedback on if you like it or not. It also has not been optimized for people running SEOs of some kind. If you want support for your SEO you need to send me a link to your forum as well as let me know what SEO modification your running.



AllPosters (Thumbnails) et.al.
This set will convert almost all product links form AllPosters.com into thumbnails like the Amazon and CafePress definitions. There's very few products that will not convert, and these appear to be only frames, or anything that's been framed.

Also note that you can use your own affiliate ID with AllPosters if you have one just by replacing the three instances of mine in the Replacement HTML. Or you can leave it. Again, won't hurt my feelings.


CannabisTV
I'm not sure what this site's about, but I think it has something to do with botany.


Google (Search Results) (Let Me Google That For You)
Two new defs for Google include one that will convert search result links into a shorter formatted Google link.

And a humorous one that will convert links into a redirect to LetMeGoogleThatForYou.com

Great idea to beutify google/wiki links and add icons!

Shame on me... I've missed such evident thing :)

tried to upload the Master XML and got this message (used the AME CP import):
Any idea?

One question: Is it right that you can use either Google (Search Results) or Google (Let Me Google That For You). Because how should the addon 'know' how it should convert the googlelink?

A.

Duplicate keys are found because you have not deleted the definitions you have installed before importing the mast list. This mod won't write over what you currently have. Delete all your old definitions and import the new master. Works like a charm.

Thanks!

One more issue:

A couple of hours ago I've embedded a Google-Video.
Worked fine after uploading.

But later, paying a second visit, it doesn't show any more:
http://trekkingforum.com/forum/showp...9&postcount=13

But the video itself is fine at Google Videos:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...39492569&hl=en

A.

Your using AME 2.5, right? The duplicate keys entry is, as TMH63 says, the way 2.5 prevents duplicate definition entires. Though you may want to wait just a little bit while I update the 2.5 definitions in my other thread, and try those, as I think your Google Videos might be related to that. I'll have to check to be sure.

It has to be one or the other, which is why one is turned off by default.

I'm not sure if I've mixed something up.
Yes I use 2.5.

Maybe I've downloaded the wrong definitions?

So, "Third Time's the Charm" is wrong for 2.5?

confused ...

A.

It's not wrong neccessarily, it's just there's some issues with 2.5 RC1 and the way it handled some of the variables in the definitions. So the definitions for 2.5 had to be tweaked in a way that 2.0's definitions didn't need to be. Not to mention, the whole point of running 2.5 is take advantage of the global sizing options in the AME CP, which will only work with the definitions especially made for them: DJ's AME (Auto Media Embedding) XML Media Definitions for AME 2.5

I've just updated the Danny's FAQ for AME 2.0.2 as well as my Definitions FAQ. They've been spread out amongst the first five posts of this thread. They cover important info that you may need if your just starting out, and explain important specifics about some definitions that you may not have know. Please review them if you have any questions.

Hi Mark,
first thanks for this great definitions which everyone here is happy with and your work is really appreciated.

I was wondering, you almost added all the sites that can come to my mind but you didn't add Expert Village which my forum depends a lot on it.

can you please add it to the definition list here.

I will be really grateful if you can do that.

thanks :)

I'll be sure to add it to the list of sites to review. I try to add all sites requested if I can.

Great, thanks..

I can't wait, it's the only one missing :)

Hi I have flv files on my local host and using html+scrips I can see the swf files on a page
Is any body can help me to make a [ame] defenition to play my video in forum

i use this code

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="324" height="240" id="FLVPlayer">

<param name="FlashVars" value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Corona_Skin _3&streamName=images/attach_files/nikond300&autoPlay=true&autoRewind=false"/>

</object>


Tank you :confused::confused::confused:

Please use [code] tags when posting code. It looks so much neater. ;)

Are you trying to embed flash videos on your site? Use my Local Hosted definition for Flash Files. You said .FLV files, but the files in your source code are .SWF, which is supported by the Local Hosted Flash definition.

The media file nikond300 is .flv. On my website this code somehow automaticaly (put) convert this file into flashplayer. Is it poseble to make defenition for the .flv files? Or it's ready done but I don't anderstud something?

Thanks! I install this product https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=163497
Works like a horse)))

Hello,
I installed the definitions for local hosted files. They all work well except the one for PDF files, which always returns the error "invalid URL for PDF file" when I browse the post that contains the embeded PDF document. How can I fix this? I replaced YOURSITE with the domain name of my website in the definitions.
Thanks.

Make sure you include the full URL, including the http://.

Yes, the link includes the full URL but it still gives me an "invalid URL" error. I also tried to use the same link directly at pdfmenot.com and it worked well.. So What could be wrong in my definition?

Did you only put the domain name prior to dot in your definition and not the full domain name?
