Major Additions - AME 2.5 - Media Embedding for posts, sigs, vm's, groups and blogs

From the makers of the letters O and Yea comes the hottest 'must have mod' of the season: AME 2.5 - The Return of The Hot Mama.

Thanks everyone for making AME 2.5 Mod of the Month

AME is the multi award winning modification that smartly scans new and edited posts for URLs from a customisable variety of web sites (i.e. YouTube or Amazon or about 200 others). If it finds a match, AME will 'transform' the URL into inline embedded media without your users ever having to even think about it.

It was important for me to create a system that did not need updating (and subsequent reinstalling) every time one of the sites it supported decided to change the way it displayed its media (which is all the fricken time). Therefore I built a system in which the 'definitions' for each site could be imported, exported, tweaked and shared on a whim. This way, you only have to import the definitions that you want. It also allows the vB community to get creative and share definitions that I wouldn't of thought of!

Which sites are supported?

Included in the default installation is YouTube and Amazon. At time of posting this, I believe that there are over 180 sites supported that have been created by the vBulletin community. These range from sites that stream videos to Amazon referral links to locally hosted music and video files.

Check out the 'add ons' section of this post below to see availible add-ons.

For a total list of features and an FAQ, see click here.
For a post on troubleshooting, click here.

Though not tested on any version of vBulletin lower than 3.7.4, in theory it should work on versions 3.5 and higher (just dont quote this bit!).

Big thanks goes out to all those in the community that have supported this mod. Especially Digital Jedi who gives great support on this mod and has created over 160 definitions for this system alone!


Installation/Upgrade

• Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory and import the product-ame.xml file into your product manager (if upgrading, choose 'yes' to overwrite previous installation).
• After installation, make sure that the system is on (admincp->AME CP->Settings)
• Then you may want to try to rebuild old URLs via the tools option.

What Addon Thread? I suppose I don't just trying to get my site going but having a lot of issues with vbulletin, seems like I can't post anything that has a lot of characters always get error saying ad one character and I do and still get blank page with error of adding characters. I have never had so many issues with vbulletin before but it has been quite a few years since I have used it.

[Digital Jedi]

In the add-on section of the first post. My thread has the most up-to-date definitions.

Duplicating what I said on the AME 3 thread. Slight delay on this guys. I'm in the process of updating my own workstation and workflow. It was just taking too long to accomplish certain tasks. Once I'm done with that, I'll be able to work on AME more fully. Thanks for your patience.

Sorry if this has been covered, and I did read the troubleshooting page. I just took over a board and am super newb to all of this stuff.

I'm using v3.8.0

I've uploaded the folder from the ame zip "forums" to where our forums folder is located. So now that folder shows it in /public_html/forums/forums

So I know all the files are uploaded as I ftp'd the entire forums folder. Am I supposed to move any files into any already existing folders?

I changed all the permissions to 755.

I still get this error message:

Warning: Unknown([path]/includes/ame_bbcode.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/newthread.php(308) : eval()'d code on line 1

Fatal error: (null)() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/motosout/public_html/forums/includes/ame_bbcode.php' (include_path='.:/usr/php4/lib/php:/usr/local/php4/lib/php') in /home/motosout/public_html/forums/newthread.php(308) : eval()'d code on line 1

You should have overwritten the forums folder onto your existing forums folder. That way all files would have been added to their respective sub folders automatically.

Thanks for the reply and sorry for the next dumb question.

If I overwrite the forums folder, what happens to all the other files in that folder? I'm assuming nothing as there isn't anything to replace, but don't want to blow up the board for my mistake.
