I dont think its suppose to do this, but when you click on that Amazon Thumbnail, it takes you to a page saying:

No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator

I figured it would make the image larger or just redirect me to the page they got it from.

thats the problem i am getting too... it sends everything to:

http://www.thefullmailbox.com/forums...fullmailbox-20

and, as much as i'd love to own amazon.com, i dont ;)

For those having the linking problem with Amazon (Thumbnails), I have a temporary fix for you until the variable problem in AME can be pinpointed. It will not convert titles properly and will just read Amazon (Thumbnails) or whatever you've named it in the AME CP, but it will properly convert your URLs.

NOTE: If you need to add your own affiliate ID tag you must go in and change each instance of ?tag=citofgamonlco-20 to your own affiliate ID. There are three. If not, you won't hurt my feelings leaving it in. ;)

Oh, remember to delete your old one.

it worked for me.... almost ;)

it worked in the sense that it made a link properly, like this: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-iPod-cla...fullmailbox-20

but... if i went to say, the first page of slickdeals.net, and got this link from them:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...X0DER&v=glance

if i posted that link on my site, it would convert to:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...fullmailbox-20

which takes me to the main page of amazon, having removed the asin number.

i'm keeping this definition active for now, but any ideas on that will be appreciated.

(and yes, i realize it says 'temp fix', im just trying to troubleshoot)

thanks for the rapid reply and fix DJ :D

See if using this as your Replacement HTML helps at all. It shouldn't be stripping out the ASIN number.

okay replaced the html and its still giving me this:

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...fullmailbox-20

:(

to clarify, this is the type of link that is giving me trouble: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg...X0DER&v=glance

Dailymotion videos doesn't work sir :(

You know, looking at the RegEx a little more closely know, I see this is one I didn't originally make. It's a little different then the way I would normally go. Let me see if I can come up with something a little different and maybe this will address the parsing problem we've been having.

Link me to a couple of examples so I can see what the problem is.

thanks DJ, it will make my moderators' lives very much easier :) ill check back every few hours so i can test it out as soon as you post it. if something is breakable, i will surely find out how to break it :)

Is there a code for Youtube in high definition and widescreen?

There will be soon.

Hi guys, just a little status update for you. Looking through my PMs, it looks like I've let a lot of requests fall by the wayside. This is because support for this thread, my other threads and my other web work is continually getting more demanding.

Over the course of this week, I'm going to be going through my PMs thoroughly to make sure I address any questions I may have overlooked. As a result of this, I'm going to ask that any future requests, questions or comments be made through my two respective threads, unless we're dealing with some private information. As it stands, I've just let things get out of hand, and I find I'm forgetting PMs much more easily then I used to. The linear nature of a thread, though, is much harder to ignore or forget, and way easier to search.

This will make it easier for me to keep track of things, and I'll be able to put things on a rough, but clearer schedule then I had before. In short, this will make support better. I appreciate your patience and will get back to you soon.

You might want to add words like "no support via pm or email" to your signature and the first post of your threads. I have seen other mod authors doing this. I think it will help reducing your pm amount.

Jedi, is 2.5 RC1 stable enougth for production site? I plan to recheck my definitions & add new ones for 2.5. But still don't know, does it worth to upgrade right now.

I would, I just like to use my sig for other things and change it often.

I've not gotten to do a real good test of 2.5, but I've seen it on a few live sites. There appears to be a few small bugs with some definitions. But I haven't yet determined if that the definitions interaction with 2.5 or 2.5 itself. It's up to you really, if you want the resizing option and some of the new features.

im running 2.5 on our live site with no problems aside from the amazon link problem. its fantastic aside from that

Great work! Just one question though. I'm using VB 3.8 RC1, and the IGN definition is causing an error. Any suggestions for a fix?

Digital Jedi: wouldn't be easier and less time consuming for you to stick to only one version (usually latest) ? I mean, it must be a killer job to go back to 2.x then 2.5 and so on. I think we could manage to love one version only, one big definition file, easier to track bugs... Just my 50 cents :)

I thought this was fixed in RC1, but what you can try to do is go into the definition for IGN and see if there are any single quotes. Escape each single quote by adding a backslash in front of each one, like so: \'

I've not had a chance to check to be sure, but that's likely the problem.


Easier for me, maybe. But it would leave a lot of users out in the cold. While the old definitions will work on RC1, these definitions will not display properly on anything but RC1. And the whole point of doing definitions for RC1 is so you can use RC1's new area controls. But if I drop the old defs for the BETA version's defs, I'll be leaving a lot of folks out in the cold who aren't ready to use the new version yet, or who've been receiving errors with them.

The hardest part is over now that I've gone through the main list. The only thing I need to do now is when I make a set of definitions, to import the new set to my demo board and export them again with the $ameinfo variables instead of the usual height and width parameters. An extra step, but not an egregious one.

does this allow you to upload .avi files or .mov files on forum for other to see

This, by it self does nothing, per se. First you need AME. Then to expand what AME can do (which is how it was designed) you need these media definitions.

But AME is not an uploader, it's an embeder. So if you've uploaded .MOV files to your server, you can use the QuickTime definitions in my other thread (I'll be adding one to this thread sometime this week) to embed them in posts.

DJ, any update on the amazon links? i've had 3 requests in the last few days :(

Great work!!!

Is there something you can post here that will fix the myspace issue? I don't mind going into the code and fixing it....just give me how to...LOL

The Embed Code needs to be replaced with the current code their using. Previously, it was just a iframe with a video player in it. Now it used the standard object tags, etc.

Oh...so it is something you have to recode?

hi
what about Justin.tv ?

and I saw it support ClipShare , can you make it to support Social Media too ?

thanks

I have trouble importing this xml, getting a message:

Can not save Import because of the following error(s):

* Duplicate keys found

No clue what to do now. Any ideas?

For some reason, I thought I had added this already, but it's on the list for later inclusion.


The key system is to prevent you from importing definitions you already have, which often happens when users first import this set. You probably haven't deleted the default definitions that come with AME yet.

Just the Replacement HTML has to be changed. I hope to be posting an update soon.

Yes it was a fresh install of AME + This xml after ... There should be an info that says you have to delete the normal AME definitions.. I will try to find out what I have to delete.

You have to delete all of them. They are all included (and updated) in this set.

I had the notation in the old thread, I just apparently missed copying that section over.

Yes thank you, worked fine now :)
Now I'm just missing getting AME working in custom profile fields too, but I guess this would be Geeks job =)

Hey DJ -

Wonderful work on these definitions and organizing them so nicely.

I know there has been an issue with Daily Motion not working before in this thread, but I tried importing the updated definition and my links still do not pull the video.

It looks like ti calls the container, just nothing from the Daily Motion comes in. Not a big deal, but is this a known issue still or is there another fix I'm not aware of?

Thanks again,

This is awsome dude ;)
Thank you,, Excellent

I think you really can remove this Deezer from this xml file, .. their audio embedding is a joke, they only play the first 10 seconds of a song...

And this BooMP3 ... lol ... seems they don't have any audiofiles uploaded, very strange site ...

I mean, 160+ supported sites sounds great, but would be nice if the sites in this xml has been tested before, just to increase the quality and the usefulness of the xml :)

I don't add a definition without testing it personally first. That's why post 2 has so many notations about the limitations of different sites.

For Deezer, make sure your not actually embedding 10 second preview clips. Test these songs, as they're playing completely for me:

http://www.deezer.com/track/71789
http://www.deezer.com/track/546343

For BooMp3, they have thousands of songs listed in dozens of languages. I remember because I struggled with them for months trying find a way to get the RegEx to match Cyrillic, Japanese and Chinese foreign language characters. They're media player is just down for the moment, probably due to maintenance.

Remember, media sites are the most fluid of any sites out there. I can make a definition for a site today, and tomorrow they can completely changed their URL structure, their embed code or their domain name. YouTube goes down almost weekly for maintenance, and their embed code stops working during that time. EA Sports World changed their embed code the day after I first released it. Daily Motion keeps finding new characters to put in their URLs, so the RegEx frequently has to be updated to match.

That fluidity, means things aren't always going to be working quite right at a given moment, but the installed users here do a pretty job of keeping me up to date on that. A whole lot of the time, though, we're just looking at user error, regional viewing issues or a site that's just doing some work in the meantime.

YouTube vids dont seem to be previewing :confused:

I swear they did yesterday, or have I messed something up? :o

See here

Thank you for a great Mod :up:

VJ

Everything seems to be there, but your height and width parameters are gone. Which version of AME are you using?

I recently upgraded to AME 2.0.2 maybe thats part of my problem. I do have some old definitions :o

Should I remove all and rebuild my posts?

I can't seem to get the Rawvegas video's to work

http://www.thecompletevegassite.com/...hread.php?t=60

I tried using all the available links there...the link used now is the only one that show's anything except the link itself.....
