oooookay.. now it should let you... thanks for you patience and quick response...

Yup, I can see them now. You're variables are not parsing for some reason. Looking at the source code, all you're quotes are escaped. The Geek might have to tackle this one.

Thanks for trying... ;( It seems like it stopped after I updated...

Update... I figured out what was wrong.. Thanks DJ.. When you said "parsed" a light bulb went off.. I remembered some code i had changed because one of my threads was messing up.. fixed now.. again thanks...

If possible check for it in next release ;)

Ps: ISO-8859-1 charset on my board .

I was getting these errors after upgrading vB to 3.8.4, and now after updating this mod, I'm still getting the same errors -


any ideas?

I think you're missing the aminfo.php file or it's in the wrong place.

Hello, I think you have a great product here but I need assistant on installing it to my forum. We followed the direction and installed everything. But when ever I hit new post, this error shows up:

Any idea why? everything else seems to work fine except when people are clicking new post or trying to reply.

Usually that means files are missing. Make sure you put everything in the proper location.

I checked everything and seems to be there. Here's a screen shot of the files:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/08/19.jpg

and all the files from admincp to xml are there. What I did notice is that we have another forums folder right below customprofilepics which contains the same file as the highlighted forums folder. Do you think that can be causing interference?

What it appears you've done, is you've put the upload folder by itself inside the forums folder.

You're supposed to overwrite your existing forums folder with the forums folder from the ZIP file. This will put all the AME files in the correct place.

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any workaround to get RSS Feed Robot's post to be translated by AME.

Thanks!

It depends, it seems, on the forum, but most of the time it will work if the URL in the feeds post is a supported one. In other cases you have to put [AME][/AME] tags around the variable in the Feed Manager to get it to convert.

Right now I have:
url={feed:link}]Watch at Youtube.[/url - "omitted starting [ and ] closing tags on purpose here

and this doesn't get converted, which tags should I be using?

[AME]{feed:link}[/AME]

Sorry, forgot to include the noparse tags in my last post, so the [AME] tags got stripped out.

I'm not able to findonly.php file too. What's the next step?

Hi,

Thanks for the mod.

I believe I installed everything correctly. Not getting errors or anything, but the links are still links.

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Did you do as he suggested and toggle the cache on/off settings?

Yes I did and it worked, should I do anything else? My site uses pleanty of media, shouldn't cache help?

any ideas about this guys?

Starting yesterday I've had issues with the viewing forum statistics (for a lack of a better term).

For example, I'll have 30 people online (and only have two forums and 99% of the traffic is in one forum), but in the forums home it will only show that 2-3 people are viewing the forum (when it is obviously not the case, multiple people are posting during this time).

When I click on currently active users, most users are from unknown locations. Underneath it reads: /clientscript/ame.js

I have the AME plugin installed, but I've had it installed for over a month with no such issues. Haven't made any CPanel modifications in a while either. Even still, I don't know why that plugin would have any effect on this issue (I don't even know that ame.js has anything to do with the AME plugin, just figured it did.)

I attached a screenshot of the currently active users to show what I'm talking about.

Will this show up in a vbadvanced CMPS page? I have it set inside a news module and the videos are not showing up. What should I do to make them appear? I'm using vb 3.8.4 & CMPS 3.2.1.

What I did was make a custom module to display my custom news module copy (copied the news module to a new module). In this news module I want to show the parts of the post & the actual video, but all I get is the posts and not the video I embedded into that post. It works fine inside the forum where I posted the link, but it just does not show in vbadvanced CMPS. Any help would be great! Thanks.

so it was definitely an AME issue, I uninstalled it and the forum viewing stats went back to normal.

kinda scared to reinstall now :-/

Nevermind I found the answer on the vbadvanced forum. all you need to do to make it show up in vb cmps is increase the character limit for words in the mod setting.

I love the idea of this mod.... however, I am having somewhat of what seems to be an issue. (Mind you, I've only gone through about 20 of the 50 pages in this thread).

It appears to have installed just fine, I can access the cp and the settings. However, when I post a link to a youtube video, google video, or photobucket video (Only ones ive tried so far), it tells me that "External embedding not available". I read that this is supposed to happen with content that is set to not embed, but I made sure none of the content I tried had that setting.

I also installed the masterxml (Delta) def file successfuly...


Anyideas?

Here's a link to what I mean...

Edit: "Direct link" works for photobucket... but still nothing else.

Edit: I also just noticed that this mod is for 3.8.0, and I have 3.8.3. Could this be my issue?

Looks like your server doesnt allow extraction and so the youtube entry is failing to validate. Turn off extraction and/or delete anything in the validation field of your youtube entry.

Really not sure how that is related. If you look at the file, it is only 1 small function that simply toggles AME media on or off depending on the usergroups setting (unless the server and file have been compromised). I would double check the contents of your js file against a fresh copy.

This is a great mod, and I've been a fan (as my users have been) of the ability to embed Youtube videos. I've decided to try similar with Amazon - but it just won't work.

Neither links nor thumbnails options for Amazon will work right. No idea why.

Any insights? I've attached screenshots of both.

You appear to have more than one Amazon definition active, so they're doubling up.

Thanks for the response. I did as instructed, but still it will not embed. Any other ideas? Again, the Photobucket direct link will embed, dont nkow if that matters.

Thanks again for your help on this, great mod (If I can get it to work)

No, I make sure only one amazon definition is active each time, so when I screengrabbed (and posted amazon link) it was the only definition active.

uh.. please disregard any issues I was having. For whatever reason, it seems to all work now. The test area on my site was restricted, so even if it did work (Which it appears it did), it wouldn't have shown to work.

Thanks again, this is a great mod

Installed :D

You have my definitions installed from my thread, but remember that AME comes with an Amazon definition by default. Check to see that you don't have three definitions, with two being active.

ok, I downloaded the zip again, and opened it. There is no ameinfo.php in this download.

However, I do have an ameinfo.php file in the amecache folder, from a previous upload. Is it not supposed to be in the amecache folder?

Right, it's in the right place. Did you remember to CHMOD your amechache folder? It has to be 777 and you would probably have to set those permissions again each time you re-upload and overwrite that folder during an upgrade.

ahha, I didn't think about setting the chmod after an update. I'll try that.


EDIT: Unfortunately. I'm still getting these errors even after I chmod the amecache folder, and enable the mod -


I'm wondering if I just need to uninstall it and do a fresh install? Because obviously, something got screwed up in the update, since it worked perfectly prior to updating.

Try this:
1- Go to the ame admincp settings page
2- Disable the file cache and save
3- Check to see the amecache folder is chmodded correctly
4- Delete any ameinfo.php and findonly.php if they are in there
5- Go back to the ame admincp settings page
6- Enable the file cache and save

HTHs!

FYI AME lovers.

Freddie has blogged that they are adding Embedding support into vB4.0. :)

Once I have had time to verify the process, I will provide instructions on how to convert existing AME tags to vB4's native format. Since AME already provides a clear conversion utility and an uninstallation process, this should be a doddle to do but I really don't want to commit until I have had a chance to personally verify and test on a beta.

I have to admit to feeling a slight pang of sadness seeing an old friend like AME go, however this type of functionality should be native and not a mod. Having this type of functionality native not only means its coded and supported at the highest level possible, it means that the functionality can be far more extensive and integrated than a mod. So to me, I think the news that vB4 is supporting embedding is very sweet.

Just wanted to say thanks for you support, don't sweat converting to vB's new codes and as always...

nJoy!

Sam you may want to re-think letting AME go. You'll see why I say that when you get to beta.

Hmm. Sounds ominous! I am sure they will do a great job with it and to be honest, I would think it would require far more time to retool AME to run along side something that (in theory) natively does the same thing. Regardless, once I get a hold of a beta and start to test the conversion of existing codes, then i'll make a more informed decision to continue with the project or not :)

BTW: Did the above sort your problem out?

No no not ominous at all.

YES that worked. Thanks so much!

I believe that 4.0 will have video supported out of the box. Is that what you are talking about? Anyway, I installed this and it works great. Cheers!
