Add-On Releases - AME'fy - Videos on your profile pages

This add on for AME3 will allow you to spruce the hell out of your member profiles by telling AME3 to parse your members custom profile fields for videos.

• You can place videos in 6 different positions in the sidebar
• You can place videos in tabs
• You can have more than one video in spot
• You can randomly select a video to show (by assigning a couple profile fields to a position and choosing the 'random' option)

Note that AMEFY parses pre-set custom profile fields. It requires at urls are stored in a custom profile field. AMEFY will not create the custom field(s) for you. I recommend using a textbox and setting the field to private so it doesnt display the text when people view their profile.

Install: The same as AME really. Upload the contents to forums and import the includes/xml/product-amefy.xml

See first post for configuration examples

The video tab in the profile field never worked for me on 4.01, so I was excited to find out that 4.02 was released with the mentioning of fixed custom tabs. Unfortunately even with 4.02 the video tab doesn't show up. Yikes

I have 4.0.2 and the mod works great in the sidebar in the profile. I haven't tested it on the Tabs yet though in the profile area.

First off, can someone tell me how to create a tab in the profile area and then how would I incorporate this mod into it?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Geek I had a question for you.

Say I wanted to allow users the ability to embed videos in the 6 areas in the sidebar however they wish. So say I titled each link "Video" in the AMEFY control panel, the problem is even if they don't use the video the titles still remains in the sidebar. So if someone didn't use any videos in their profiles, they would still have 6 areas designated "video". Is there any way to get rid of this? Like have the title field only appear if they use the option? I see we can't leave the title blank, so not sure how you can go about this.

Thanks in advance.

Yes, I would like that also. Since it's not working for me, I wonder if I missed out on an essential step

LOVE IT except, videos are full size, I tried managing the size to 50 x 50 and it does not change for some reason

EDIT, I needed to add PX to the size,, GREAT HACK, thanks

Hello Everyone,

The amefy_class.php file needs to be updated with the correct hook for the tab.

Open your editor and under the hook array locate this listing and ensure "tabs" is placed in the last two lines:

Current:

profile_sidebar_first
profile_sidebar_stats
profile_sidebar_friends
profile_sidebar_albums
profile_sidebar_groups
profile_sidebar_last
profile_left_first
profile_left_last

Change to:

profile_sidebar_first
profile_sidebar_stats
profile_sidebar_friends
profile_sidebar_albums
profile_sidebar_groups
profile_sidebar_last
profile_tabs_first
profile_tabs_last

This is what worked for me. Hope this helps someone.

I like this mod and will mark it installed.

That did the trick! Thank you very much for helping us with this problem.

I hope Geek can update his (unsupported) script with this.

By the way: the updated file is the amefy_class.php file in the includes folder (y)

[Sunray2]

TCB,

You are correct.

I've edited the previous thread to reflect the correction.

Thanks!!

First and foremost - a fantastic addon to an already fantastic tool (ame3). Great work to all involved!

Can you elaborate for the less technically inclined amongst us? Are you saying, when we add the youtube URL (for example purposes), that we have to add this code on the end, as with youtube website itself?

&autoplay=1

I've tried that in my sidebar video and it doesn't seem to autoplay
