Can I see an example of some of the links you've been trying?

I PM'd you from my site with a link to the section I have been using for testing.

Only you have access.

D.

It needed a minor tweak. Try downloading it again and let me know if this works for all URLs.

In a way it was a good thing the link didn't work, because upon re-saving the update, I saw that this time I added the wrong Google+ definitions to the update. So I had to re-add those, as well. I should try sleeping. I hear it assists with problems like these.

Thanks!

D.

Just something I noticed,

When importing updated definitions, the wording may want to be addressed (or maybe the function).

It had me scratching my head a bit and thought maybe others might be confused as well.

When importing a new definition file (like you posted today) (2013-10-24-Updates.xml) you get warnings as per the screenshot.


Now.... my questions are:

1) Will that warning only come up when the definition is the exact same or what happens if you want the definition to update because of a change in code?

2) before checking the box "import" do I need to delete the definition first from the list of installed definitions to prevent an error like it says?


Would it make sense to add another column next to "IMPORT" called "UPDATE" if you want the old definition to be over-written by a new definition?



Just some food for thought on a Thursday... ;)


D.

Yes, the AME keys were introduced in 2.5 because in the early days of AME, people repeatedly forgot to delete their default YouTube def once they imported a custom one. Then they'd report duplicate video and truncated code in posts. So with unique keys, if you get duplicate keys during import, that means there's already a definition in your set with that same key. The red marked ones won't import until you delete the one with the matching key first, since the import process is only capable of creating new entries.

I thought about changing the import process, if technically possible, to allow for an overwrite. What concerns me is if overwriting robs you of the chance to make a backup, if you can't quite remember in the Import screen if a particular def has been locally customised. Of if you're importing a custom def from some other source where the key set is the same as something you don't want overwritten. (Since the key designation is arbitrary. You call it whatever you want.)

Any chance you could create a definition for Facebook Photo Albums?

D.

I think the URL is unique enough that it could work. It would depend on if the information is public or not. If you have to big logged in to Facebook to see most albums, it might not be viable. But I can give it a try.

Any chance at adding twitch.tv? With consoles streaming it directly, it's going to be pretty popular I think

At first glance, it looks like it's possible. I'll put it in my requests list.

Thanks! Also Vine would be great too

Well, my search fu may be weak, but I have not been able to find in this thread any info about how to modify the replacement code for amazon links so that they include an affiliate ID. I have the mod installed and it seems to be working fine, taking the link showing in the address bar of any amazon product page and adding the little amazon icon with a link and the product description with a link.

For instance, here is a page I would like to link to,


Here is the regular expression given in the definition,

and here is the replacement expression,


The associate id has this format "&tag=XXXXX-20" in links that work with Amazon. I can't figure out how to modify that replacement expression to include the id... I am sure it is something simple, but I don't know how all this RegEx stuff works. I would very much appreciate any help!

I think I got it.

The id has to be "?tag=XXXXX-20" and that gets stuck right after the $p3/ and still inside the quote for both places where the link shows. I tested it and then took the changed link to the Amazon site to verify that it works with their link checker.

Last question...

If I understand this correctly, the AME makes the change to the link right when the post is created. It does not occur on the fly every time a post with a link is viewed. If that is correct, is there a way to make this retroactive, meaning that it will change amazon links for old posts/threads on my forum?

Yes, you got it. You just append your ID string to the URLs in the Replacement HTML as you would a regular link.

Not in the case of regular links. With videos, you can rebuild old BBCode that was specially set aside for that purpose. For instance [YOUTUBE] BBCode can be rebuilt to use [AME] BBCode instead. But it's likely you didn't have a specialized BBCode tag set aside for Amazon links. You likely just posted links as normal. And you certainly wouldn't want AME replacing all your [URL] tags. :)

Any older links you wanted to reflect the new edits to your definition would require them being edited and resaved.

Well, I dug up some old threads that I knew had posts with Amazon links in them. The links now have my ID appended to them. I have no clue how this works, but it appears that even old links are being changed. I even copied a few of them and used the "link checker" that Amazon provides to make sure they were valid links.

I've run into this before, too. It seems like it doesn't consistently do that. But my testing has not been done extensively with the AME cache off, so that may be where my random experiences come from. I'm glad it appears to be working, though.

Digital Jedi, you are awesome, thank you for your job.

Are there any way to update rutube?

rutube

Also, is Divshare lost forever? Does Justin.tv needs an update? And i would like to see Twitch too.

I'll look into all of those on the next update. It'll be a little delayed, but I'll get to them. I may be able to safley open back up the request forum. So stay tuned.

I don't, off the top of my head, remember why I removed Divshare. Normally that happens when the site's embed code become too broad for AME to handle. But I'll look at them again and let you know.

Howdy,

Having problems with Amazon links again... Not sure why.

Original link posted on forum,
Or this one,
SHOULD get changed to

But it is messing up. The "/dp/" part of the original link is getting an extra / stuck in it so that it becomes "/d/p/", and that screws up the link. I have NO CLUE how the replacement stuff works :giveup:

Here is the regular expression
and here is the replacement code
Any chance you know what is inserting that extra "/"?

Thanks.

It's a problem with the regex match. I'll have to look at Amazon URLs again. See if something has to be done for newer links that have been simplified.

Possible to get Twitch definitions?
We run a gaming forum and Twitch streams are very popular.

Thanks much! ♥

I'm going to open up the request forum temporarily. Not sure how this will work with my new forum setup, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Please forward all requests to this area. This is the sure fire-est way for me to remember what to add to AME next: http://www.cogonline.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=880

So I never got any feedback on this idea...

YES PLEASE!!!

On a related note, the Facebook Videos definition does not seem to be working properly. It also doesn't take links with https.

And even with http, there is an additional box displayed and some error message.

I'll look into that. Facebook URLs are usually pretty stable. Can you show me the particular links you're having trouble with?

Hi, could you please add Instagram?

Embed code looks like this:

Sure, I actually have them on a list I was compiling for the next update.

I have a large forum, is there anything i can do to install this addon?

It freezes up my server and I cant get it installed. I guess what I'm asking is there any server tweaks I can do to help me out..

Any advice would be great! :D

You shouldn't really be experiencing a delay importing definitions because of your forum size. The size of the definitions file, on the other hand, can be an issue. Have you tried importing smaller groups?

Hey Mark,

Google Maps seems to no longer work.

It looks like they changed from the old schema of: maps.google to google.com/maps/

D.

That's great! How about Gfycat? It's a great alternative to GIF sharing.

You can view the embed code here (hover over the video, and click "Links")

Looks like it should work. I can put it on the list, too.

Is there a way to turn off related videos for the standard Youtube definition that comes with the mod?

You'd have to look at YouTube's embed code and apply something like what's demoed here: http://illuminea.com/remove-related-...youtube-video/

Digital Jedi,

Is Twitch.tv integration possible? Since they have a Stream and Live chat embed options available, something like this would be GREAT

Hi DJ,

I don't see played.to in the list of supported sites, is it possible to create a definition for it?

Here is a sample url:

"http://played.to/embed-0o851trj4sft-640x360.html"

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not exactly back in full force yet. But I am working towards that. Please make additional website requests at the URL in the first post.
