BB Code Enhancements - AME3 - Auto Media Embeding and Video Extender

From the makers of Smooth and Jazz comes the singing sensation my mom has been waiting months for:

AME3. Bigger. Badder. Bestest.

NOTE ABOUT vB4.0.3: ------------------------------------------------------------

vBulletin 4.0.3 has changed the way video codes are handled and in the process, inadvertently broke AME3. I have submitted a bug report and believe that the issue will be quickly resolved. There is a manual fix you can apply for 4.0.3 here in the interim.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

AME3 is the sequel to the multi award winning AME 1x and AME 2x systems. AME3. This time, its different.

Vote for AME3 as MotM!

If you like AME3, you'll love AME'fy for your profiles!

AME3 does 3 things:

• It allows users to simply paste URLs into their message without having to use the video bbcode or video popup box.
• It allows you to add, edit and customise the video definitions that ship with vB4
• It allows you to import community created definitions to extend the system in ways you otherwise couldn't.

Now you can use AME anywhere you can use video bbcode: posts, blogs, visitor messages, the CMS, etc...

Note that I am releasing this early for beta testing and general feedback. There is currently a bug in RC2, RC4 and 4.0.0 that will prevent AME from working however there is a workaround posted below.

I have written a pretty comprehensive readme and attached it seperatly to this post. I suspect both this post and the readme will get updated as AME3 becomes finalised.

Thanks for developing this mod, which is really great.

But I have one problem when using it
When there is a link in a post like this [URL="http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHOT_enAM350AM351&sourceid=chrome&ie =UTF-8&q=vbulletin"]http://www.google.com/search?rlz=1C1CHOT_enAM350AM351&sourceid=chrome&ie =UTF-8&q=vbulletin[/URL], and afterwards the post is quoted, in the quoted post there appear unnecessary symbols like "/".

The same post is normally quoted when AME 3 is disabled.

You can see this behavior here in my forum

Also I have noticed that this problem doesn't appear with all links, but I can't figure out this special cases.
Can you please have a look at this, and provide some help.

I have it in there and the checkbox is checked to parse it into video. Youtube is defined and it's a new post that was done after installing AME so it's not a matter of rebuilding posts. It's simply not doing anything to the youtube link.

Did you make the change outlined in the installation instructions to the required hook?

Hi Geek,

I am having problems with the installation on VB4 Patch 2, I have followed your instructions to the letter... well, I think I did... and it is not showing up as it was before..

For example this post showed it as an embedded video when it was vB3.8, now it isn't...

http://forum.landrovernet.com/showth...androver-Films

Tried a few times now going over the instructions again, just to make sure, including editing the files again as per the instructions... and still the same result... not sure if they have changed something somewhere else or I have not switched something else on or switched it off...

[The Geek]

That link is borked. For some odd reason you have [video][/url[url][/video] going on. Thats just wrong. Are other posts doing that? Was that a conversion from AME2x?

[Lighting90]

Yep, they are, and was an upgrade from 2.0, not sure what happened, but even new links just put in give the video tag and still no embedding.

Though I am slowly working through the system, so I may have missed something

[InfoAddict]

I too have the same problem - vb4 upgrade from vb3 and previous version of AME.

I then upgraded to AME3 and did a convert on my posts to change all ame= to the below video format.

For instance - check this page:

http://dev.gamers-underground.com/me...his-match.html

This is the code for the link:

[video=youtube;apWrS2uPBTg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apWrS2uPBTg[/video]

Only thing I can think of is that I left the vb3 version installed when I did the upgrade.

I have removed the link from the hook xml file - it just doesn't seem to kick in.

The problem was solved after deleting the following string in ame_prep.php file:

PHP Code:

$text = preg_replace('%(\[(quote|php|html|code|nomedia)([^\]]*)\](.*?)\[/(\2)\])%sime', '$this->substitute(\'\1\', $this->_subbed)', $text); 


May I leave this file without that string?

Mine doesn't work :\
"This product is not compatible with version 4.0.0 Beta 4 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.0)"
And i don't have a includes/xml/hooks_vbcms.xml file.

@ The Geek

Just to let you know, I can post a video with the video tags and it embeds okay, I assume that is the vB version as it is fairly basic...

You can edit the includes/product-ame.xml product and remove this line:

<dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.0" maxversion="" />

You don't have to do the hook edit if you don't have hooks_vbcms.xml
