About Developer · **Released**: 01-19-2009

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.

You have my definitions installed from my thread, but remember that AME comes with an Amazon definition by default. Check to see that you don't have three definitions, with two being active.

ok, I downloaded the zip again, and opened it. There is no ameinfo.php in this download.

However, I do have an ameinfo.php file in the amecache folder, from a previous upload. Is it not supposed to be in the amecache folder?

Right, it's in the right place. Did you remember to CHMOD your amechache folder? It has to be 777 and you would probably have to set those permissions again each time you re-upload and overwrite that folder during an upgrade.

ahha, I didn't think about setting the chmod after an update. I'll try that.

EDIT: Unfortunately. I'm still getting these errors even after I chmod the amecache folder, and enable the mod -

PHP Code:


			
Warning: include(/home/admin/public_html/amecache/ameinfo.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/ame_bbcode.php on line 80

Warning: include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/admin/public_html/amecache/ameinfo.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in [path]/includes/ame_bbcode.php on line 80

Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Empty regular expression in [path]/includes/ame_bbcode.php on line 711

Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Empty regular expression in [path]/includes/ame_bbcode.php on line 711

I'm wondering if I just need to uninstall it and do a fresh install? Because obviously, something got screwed up in the update, since it worked perfectly prior to updating.

Try this:
1- Go to the ame admincp settings page
2- Disable the file cache and save
3- Check to see the amecache folder is chmodded correctly
4- Delete any ameinfo.php and findonly.php if they are in there
5- Go back to the ame admincp settings page
6- Enable the file cache and save

HTHs!

FYI AME lovers.

Freddie has blogged that they are adding Embedding support into vB4.0.

Once I have had time to verify the process, I will provide instructions on how to convert existing AME tags to vB4's native format. Since AME already provides a clear conversion utility and an uninstallation process, this should be a doddle to do but I really don't want to commit until I have had a chance to personally verify and test on a beta.

I have to admit to feeling a slight pang of sadness seeing an old friend like AME go, however this type of functionality should be native and not a mod. Having this type of functionality native not only means its coded and supported at the highest level possible, it means that the functionality can be far more extensive and integrated than a mod. So to me, I think the news that vB4 is supporting embedding is very sweet.

Just wanted to say thanks for you support, don't sweat converting to vB's new codes and as always...

nJoy!

Sam you may want to re-think letting AME go. You'll see why I say that when you get to beta.

Hmm. Sounds ominous! I am sure they will do a great job with it and to be honest, I would think it would require far more time to retool AME to run along side something that (in theory) natively does the same thing. Regardless, once I get a hold of a beta and start to test the conversion of existing codes, then i'll make a more informed decision to continue with the project or not

BTW: Did the above sort your problem out?

No no not ominous at all.

YES that worked. Thanks so much!

I believe that 4.0 will have video supported out of the box. Is that what you are talking about? Anyway, I installed this and it works great. Cheers!
