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.

Cant take credit for this... as ive seen this fix elsewhere. Worked for mine vb version 4.1.4.

I have applied for a new hook to be added to take care of the issue in 4.0.3 & other versions so hopefully this will only be "broken" for this iteration. If you want to fix, you will need to apply the following file edit:

Note: THIS IS FOR VERSION 4.0.3 BUT WILL WORK ON other versions.

Edit includes/functions_video.php and change:

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin; 


to

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin;
require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext); 


Again this is not my fix... just something I found searching google. It may even be in this thread already. Not sure. lol.

Gave this a shot and the forum is wrapping video tags around the video but for some reason it won't display. Just a big white space where the vid is supposed to be. Wonder what I'm doing wrong?

Code looks like this:

Awesome! Fix worked for me!

just look at the file you have edited, it seems you edited with some kind of word processor that left some wierd characters in the first line!

I ended up replacing the file from scratch. I couldn't find any issues... but who knows.
