Need help with making this mod work properly.

When I start a new thread with youtube link for example, the post only shows the link/url and will not properly show the video. However, when you use the tag [ame]..[/ame] ( I did not even know this tag existed, found through reading this thread) the video will show up properly.

Again here are some issues:

I have vb 3.7.4
I installed 2.5 RC 1
No errors after installation
When you post url of youtube for example, only shows URL
But when you use [ame] tag, it shows the video

Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried just editing the post after creating your thread? I've noticed you sometimes don't get a conversion upon a new thread, but a quick edit of the post puts it in.

Nope, editing does not work. The plugin will not convert the url.

Mind if you post an example to a thread where this is the problem?

DJ, great hack. I'm using it on my production site now and it's working flawlessly so far. I do have a question. I've noticed that if a user uses the URL BB code inside a sentence to link to a video, the video is embedded correctly but it chops the sentence in half and uses the linked text as the video title. Is there a simple way to make AME ignore a link if it's in URL tags so that only stand alone pasted URLs are converted? I doubt it considering I have automatic parsing of links on, but I thought I would ask the Jedi.

There's an option not to parse media below the text editor. And remember, it's The Geek's hack. ;)

Yep, I tried that - no luck.

I'm still inclined to think that there's something going on with your AME cache. Maybe check to see if there are no typos in the path and make sure the directory is CHMOD 777.

All seems present and correct, as far as I can tell. To double check, here's my path:

/www/enworld.org/production/htdocs/tardis/forum/amecache/

Unless I should have entered it in a different way?

And you folder is CHMODed correctly?
