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.

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext); 


I think the above will not work if you use quick reply with Search Engine Friendly mod rewrite URLs. When viewing a thread it will try to reach

PHP Code:

www.domain.com/threads/includes/ame_prep.php 


instead of

PHP Code:

www.domain.com/includes/ame_prep.php

Hi great mod thanks for all the hard work.

update i found this worked for me just thought i would post it incase anyone else is looking to do this.

UPDATE
post
SET
pagetext = replace(pagetext,'media]', 'video]')
WHERE
pagetext LIKE '%media]%'

however this does not make the videos work but al least it turns them back into clickable urls

Is there a definitions file?

I'd like to be able to support flickr videos, for example, but haven't been able to figure out how yet. A definitions file for 3.0 would greatly help, of course.

I installed AME in my forums, added a new post, and the YouTube link got converted to (url)...(/url) etc.

What am I missing? I'm using vBulletin 4.0.3.

Thank you,

Barbara

Yes, we are still waiting for definitions. May be someone has definitions for amazon and google books?

Hullo.

Followed the instructions for the 4.0.3 fix, and it is now parsing links correctly in new posts. Thanks for that.

However, when I try to rebuild the old posts, instead of loading a screen telling me it's processing posts 8900 to 422342200 or whatever, I get a blank screen in my ACP.

There's no error logged in my NGINX error log nor my PHP-FastCGI log that seems to have anything to do with it.

Suggestions?

This mod does not work in 4.0.3. There is a quick fix where you edit the way the code is parsed, (its a few pages back somewhere), and I can confirm it does parse the video.

However some other users (like myself) notice that it conflicts with posts. I think it depends what other mods you have on your board.

Daft question cant someone fix it?
