*AME 2.5 Installed*

Any Option for a Lightbox?!

Eg: With The Image Resizer. Powered with Lytebox / Highslide / Lightview / and many more!

Hi Geek =]

I have a question, why do all embed videos always come centered ? Can this be disabled ? all videos are becoming in the center of the thread

Nice work

Just updated to new beta version, experiencing a slight problem importing reports a missing key from xml files pic attached.

Im not into coding so dont know what its asking for. any help appreciated.

EDIT: i compared the xml to one inbuilt and added the name manually still shows as missing as in pic 2

Just an update on above post, seems a minor bug it fixes itself if you resave using the message box and re-add its key name again and save, seems when you import xml 1st time and add key manually it doesnt save it, 2nd time using its warning system link as picture attached.

Maybe a fix needed in next update... still great work tho well done all involved.

You can change the look and feel of the container by editing the appropriate templates that come with the new version.

I'll be updating the Master XML list soon to include the key. The Geek added this to prevent duplicate entries from being imported. I'll probably just do a new thread for them, but I have a lot of definitions to update, including the new variables involved in sizing. It will take some time.

Is it possible to get this working with vBadvanced Dynamics?

I simply edited the container html from "Center" to "Left"...easy as pie and works a treat!!

Hi all,

Ive use a previous mod before which prefixed my vids with a Tag.

Now the code code is displayed in AME, so could someone show me what i need to do to convert them to use AME, rather than doing them manually.

Ive seen a previous post say he solved it by adding \1, but how do i implement it?

regards

I'm not sure what the \1 thing is referring to, but if you where using some kind of BBCode previously, the Rebuild option in Tools runs through your posts and replaces tags you previously had with [AME] tags. You just have to tell it which tags to replace. You can also run it in Test Mode to see the results and make sure it's something you want to do.

Hey Magz, check out the conversion tool for old tags. Make sure you check out the admincp help associated with each option too!

Thanks guys,

sadly my site got hacked last night, all files deleted. Im sure they gained access via an external php arcade script i was using. Thats deleted now.

Ive got the site back, from a back up, and will try again when i readd it.

man, that sucks! Sorry to hear that!

But just for future reference, AME has a conversion utility in the tools menu that can allow you to uninstall 'other' media tags. It does this by turning them into URL tags. From that point, you can then run the rebuild tools to change URL tags into AME tags. I thought that would be more useful than making a tool that simply converted other media tags into ame tags.

HTHs!

I am sure it would be, however I don;t have, never used it and don't really have time to. However looking at the various hooks around the blog, group messages, etc.. someone should be able to whip out an easy add on to do it (as long as dynamics has hooks in the right places :) )

Hiya,

I'm running the 2.5 version. After selecting to rebuild posts from the tools menu it runs through the first page, sits through the delay, redirects to the next page but nothing happens :confused:

The attachemt is all that is shown when it flicks to the second page.

I've tried it in live & test, with & without verbose. The first page goes fine and makes the changes then the script seems to stop instead of processing any more posts.

Any ideas ?

Cheers,

Si

2.5 is looking awesome from your description. I am looking forward to updating to that version later on :) Thanks again Geek.

Can you run it in a new window and then copy and paste the referring URL (including everything after admincp)?

Here you go.

The main URL to the site and admin folder is ok (I use a different named folder so would prefer not to post it).

Here's everything after that

automediaembed_admin.php?do=dorebuild&timer=0+Seco nds+remaining&cont=1&ignorepre vious=1&deleteame=0&perpage=100&seconds=20&length= 2419200&test=1&verbose=0&start =1&in=

I had the previous version installed, then decided to upgrade it, now pages if anyone hits post reply, my pages are blank, when I go to the ACP, all I see is most of the coding.

Thanks Road, that helps. Should be sorted for next 2.5 beta (which will be out in the next couple of days).

Directprint. Is this 2.0.2 or the 2.5 beta? Also can you check your apache error log?

My Break and daily motion are not working. I have just the white boxes where they should be. I'm using 2.0.2

Was running the old version on 3.6 even after upgrade to 3.7.3, then decided it was time to upgrade to 2.0.2, didn't want to try the beta in case it broke things. I am running on a IIS server.
Tried the beta as well, it removed the code I am seeing in ACP, but when trying to rebuild everything the page just goes blank and doe's nothing.

If those are add-on definitions, give the author a shout. Since version 2, ame hasnt supported daily motion or break as those are supported by add on authors.

Thanks for this. Sounds like the problem with the version 2 was that a php tag (Around line 80) was just <? but it should have been <?php as some installations are touchy about this.
The problem with the rebuild in the beta was reported yesterday and I am working on the solution which should be availible over the next couple of days (when I get back home)

Thanks!

I am looking for this error in the php file, which one is it?

Found it, but still doesn't work for me, somethings not right somewhere. So I can't event get 2.0.2 to work.

in version 2.0.2 in admincp/automediaembed_admin.php on line 82, is this tag:
Some server configurations require:
If that change isn't made and your server requires it, it will usually just spit out PHP code when you browse to the ame admin page. Making the change fixes it. This change was made in the current 2.5 beta, hence the reason you could use the ame admincp in 2.5. The only problem I am currently aware of in the current 2.5 beta is rebuilding only seems to work on the first page. As I said in a previous post, this should be rectified in the next couple days when I get home.

Anyhoo. Hope this helps!

I made that change an uploaded the file, no longer showed the code, but it didn't rebuild posts. Also when I enable the product I get blank page when using post reply.

This is the error from rebuild posts via ACP.

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/ame_bbcode.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]\admincp\automediaembed_admin.php on line 725

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'C:\Domains\website.com.au\wwwroot\forum/includes/ame_bbcode.php' (include_path='.;C:\php5\pear') in C:\Domains\website.com.au\wwwroot\forum\admincp\au tomediaembed_admin.php on line 725

This is the error if I post reply in a thead...

Warning: require_once([path]/includes/ame_bbcode.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in [path]\newreply.php(742) : eval()'d code on line 1

Check permissions on includes/ame_bbcode.php as the php process doesnt appear to have rights to run that file.

Great, thank you so much for your help, that was what it was, no idea how the permissions would go up to the server like that. :up:

Is there any change on 2.0.2 since last update ? i have it on my forum and i login and found the mod is updated when i look on the mod i found the new beta 2.5 so i think do not need to update the 2.0.2 right ?

it's possible add support to preview post in full editor?

is it possible to embed the video only when within a custom bbcode?
ie. [bbcode]<youtube-url>[/bbcode]

Because sometimes embedding is disabled on youtube making the youtube video "Not available" and showing a blank screen when embedded.

That will not make the video show up, as that's still embedding. When YouTube says embedding is disabled, that means there's no way around it.

For that use, just uncheck the embed option when posting. Or am I not understanding what you mean? So you will end up with the link, rather than the video that will not play.

This will be great for my board

Yea, that's why I don't want all the links to convert to embeds, instead give users a choice.

Unchecking would mean that the whole post will not be embedded.
If we can do a [youtube]http://youtube.com/v/xxxxxxxx[/youtube] kinda thing that would convert the url to link, it would be good.

It would mean that users can embed those vids that are not disabled and post links to those which are in a single post. I currently do this with youtube tags, but users would have to extract the Video ID from the url to put in between the tags.. which is a hassle and a problem to users not familiar to the url structures/query strings.

With some simple programming we should be able to extract the ID even if the url varies like below:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&feature=related
http://youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxxxxx&...mesite.com/yyy

The point of AME is to automatically embed matching URLs. As mentioned, If you don't want the video to show in a post, just tick the 'Do not automatically embed media' option.

Ok. I see what you mean here. You want an 'exempt' code. Not too sure about that. You can put it in a code, php or HTML block to accomplish that... but I am not sold on creating another code block just to intermix normal links and embedded links :(
Ame does this but can't tell you from the URL if embedding is supported or not. Possibly by using the extract destination option (i.e. a regexp that determines if the page has 'embedding dissallowed' on (or whatever). But that is something I wouldnt support natively as it can be done via a new definition.


HTHs

hmmm... I thought it was... will have to double check. In theory it should.
