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.

Please read README and FAQ.

If you installed the blog after ame, there is an option in the tools menu to add the blog field.

There is a vbSEO option to track outbound links that will prevent AME from working correctly. Turn that off and other than that, it should be fine.

[The Geek]

ok. think I got to all outstanding issues. If not, feel free to remind me

And peeps... please read the FAQ and Readme before posting your problem. 99.9% of the time, the answer IS ALREADY THERE AND WRITTEN FOR YOU. Of course, we have all been guilty of this from time to time, but please don't expect others to rewrite it for you because you can't be bothered to look. Its really frustrating sometimes to have to keep posting the same answer over and over and over. It also detracts from the real issues that need full attention

Thanks for understanding and....

Just curious, what's the advantages of this mod over Goldbrick mod from nix?

Your attitude is very selfish. 3 posts made in the forums, no mod contribution. If you don't like the plugin, move on. Go create plugins yourself and give them away for free. This author and all authors give their time and mods for free. You? Just complain like a little kid who didn't get the lollipop he wanted. What did you give for free?

[SuperGLS]

Installed easily and working great. Thanks for this!

I'm happy with just the Youtube definitions, I might look into the Google Video and Streetfire ones, but besides that, you don't really need to have all those!

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for all your work on this Mod!

I'm sure I'm overlooking something dumb, but each time I post a link (internal or external) on my forum, AME converts the link to :

**Internal Linking (Threads)

and the link points back to the thread I've posted in.

If I disable AME and edit the post the original information shows, EG :
[ame="http://www.rx7club.com/showthread.php?t=806104"]Making The Case For The <Rotary> Powered FD: The Fix/ 2nd edit starts post 84, ^ info - RX7Club.com[/ame]

Running 3.8.1, AME 2.5.4, some other mods..

Any suggestions welcomed, and FYI I found somebody with a similar problem on vbulletin.com, not sure if he resolved it or not.

Cheers,
Dave
