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.

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.

Upload all files to the correct locations (that error means you didnt upload some or all of the files)

I looked at it. I will try again. I don't know what I am missing. I did exactly as you said. BTW, I'm running 3.8.1. It just doesn't make any sense. I put the upload folder in my forums folder and nothing. I'll try again tonight when I get home.

Well, that could be the problem. When you say you put the upload folder, do you mean that literally? Because it's the contents of the forums folder in the upload folder that your supposed to upload to your forum. See how everything in the forums folder is structured just like your vB folders are structured? You don't just add the upload folder.

This is what your instructions say:

Upload the contents of the forums folder into your forums directory

So what you're saying is that I need to individually match each subfolder under forums and drag that folder from your side. I thought that all you had to do was just grab the entire upload folder and copy it to the forums folder. I thought that the other folders would automatically go to their other like subfolders. I hope that made sense. :erm:

At any rate, I will try it again when I get home, transferring one folder at a time.

You only have to move it all at one time, it's just it sounded like you grabbed the upload folder and moved it, rather then moving the contents of the forums folder and moving them. In other words, when you move it, are is the admincp folder overwriting your admincp folder, etc? That's the way it should be moving.

Okay I did it again and nothing. I am beyond frustrated with this. Now I have all of these files and I don't know how to get rid of them and I STILL don't have the AME CP.

[Armyqt]

OK this is what my directory looks like in regards to the AME files. This is what was uploaded and where. Tell me if this is wrong.

Includes Folder
- ame_bbcode.php

Client Script Folder ->Client Script Subfolder
-ame.js

AmeCache Folder
-index.html

AdminCP Folder -> AdminCP Folder ->
-automediaembed.admin.php

Images Folder -> Misc Folder
-amazon
-film_go.png

Please tell me where I went wrong. I must get this fixed. Thanks for your support.

You need to upload each of the items into correct folders corresponding with your forums folders.

Double click the "Upload" folder you will see items to upload directly onto the forumhome directory and then you will see things like, "Admincp" inside it. If you open that file you will find items to upload into your "AdminCP" rather than onto your forumhome...
