If it wasn't for his support, I am sure most would agree that this mod would be as dead as a doornail (whatever the hell a dead doornail is).

Smirkley, I do seem to recall that the last 2.5 release had an issue with conversions of old blogs, social group and visitor messages. IIRC, I think I had it resolved on a local development build, however I am not keen to simply zip up what is on my dev server without really spending the time to comb back through the code to ensure there are not any loose ends left undone (its been months since I have worked on it).

The problem was that the tool would give a db error trying to do conversions of old data and no changes would be made. It in no way affected the underlying data (but of course it wouldn't convert old info into ame's either!). The rest of the system works hunky dory. New visitor messages, blog posts, etc... worked fine... (as well as edited ones) just not the conversions of old data using that particular tool.

Ah, thanks Geek. I was running out of ideas. :D

I will try to set some time aside over the next week or so to comb back through the code and see if I can get a final release into the 3.8 forum (yes, this indeed works on 3.8). Until then, know that the system works fine - there just isn't a working tool to automatically convert old blogs, social messages and visitor messages.
Whenever you find the time dude. Whenever you find the time. :up:

If one has Goldbrick, and that hack is supposed to add media tags, and one switches over to AME which seems to be far more supported, will the old tags get converted? From what i read, it appears the answer is yes, but better to ask a dumb question.

Also, Highslide JS is an add-on requirement to Goldbrick, and it is a nice affect. If one disables Golbrick but keeps Highslide, I trust AME would be Highslided (or is that Highslid?) lol.

Lastly, Golbrick would allow one to upload a QT or Mov or WMV (yuck) video to their own server and paste the url to that video in a post and it would render it. I want to make surre AME does the same. Goldbrick rarely thumbnails, how good is AME?

Last dumb question, there seems to be two AME's floating around, thus confusing my pea brain.

Thanks!

I have not seen any highslide working in my AME but it may be disabled or I may not understand. You can upload to your local server and AME will render the extentions I belive all are supported or can be with a simple edit in the cpanel. I can send you some of my cpanel what ever they are called and you can just edit them to your server info if that helps. It does not render blank spaces if render is the correct term and you need streaming names with _ or else put %20 in the blank space.

Hope this helps.

many thanks...

I've not personally worked with Goldbrick, but I can tell you what AME can do which might help you out. AME has a conversion tool built in, which will take existing BBCode you are using and convert the tags to it's own built in [AME] tags. So, for example, if you used to use [YOUTUBE] or [METACAFE] BBCode, you can have the conversion tool go through your posts and convert both of those tags to [AME] tags. Mind you, AME tags are not neccessary for new posts to embed, just older posts.

AME does not use Highslide and would not affect AME videos. They would all be embedded. There's a number of reaons why, such as AME embeds more then just videos where the Highlslide wouldn't really make much sense or be practical.

Yes, with the extended definitions in my thread (the add-on link in the main post), you can get AME to embed Local Hosted media, such as MOV, SWF, WMV, DIVX, RM, RAM and PDF.

Depends on which threads your refering to. There's the older version originally made for 3.6. Then there's my two threads which support the extended definitions for AME: Third Time's the Charm are the definitions for AME 2.0 or older, and Delta are the definitions for AME 2.5.

well i posted and The Geek came around;)
anyways, dont wanna push you guys, but would really look forward for the update in 3.8 as well. practically it is working fine so far so i think there shouldnt be much work involved. But then again, it is the creator's decision:)

good job DJ and Geek

Is it possible to allow the listening of hosted .Mp3 files but prevent them from being downloaded.
Thanks James

Gladhatter 01-20-2009 01:55 AM

James, I think the answer is yes to this. You need to ask your server admin what to set the chmod ( I think it is 755 ) for sure not 777 on that directory at or maybe but not sure it can be pass protected but not the files. May be another chmod that will protect it as I am not that familiar with these but am sure there is a solution here. Another possible solution is a redirect code where the url is read from a fake location. Its a simple code for a competent coder to set up.

Makes sense!
I even know how to set the chmod, just not what to set it to.
I will try 755.
Thanks,
James

Gladhatter 01-20-2009 02:11 AM

I have tried all the chmods and I cannot stop it but there may be one that will work or the server help you restrict it or again pass protect not sure of and redirect, nearly positive would work with proper code.
