video_home is a template. You need to edit it anyway to get rid of the references to Jaxel's website.

Hey, Jaxel - just thought - that would work great as a text field in the AdminCP.

Hi Jaxel, have you heard from Surviver? Are you going to release any update for this mod?

Jaxel · #**667** 01-05-2009, 09:01 PM

I'm still waiting for his response... I have everything read to go... just waiting for him.

Oh... and umm... check the comments...

Avatars!

Jaxel, you rock!

Holy mackerol...those comments with the avatars look great! I can't wait for the next round of updates this week! :up:

By the way, someone should concentrate (wish I knew how to help with this mod) on getting additional video sites added to the mod. I know that AME has a TON because of DJ's work on the add-on to the mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=195884). Maybe the same sort of approach may apply, but I don't know enough to adapt it to this mod.

Jaxel · #**670** 01-05-2009, 10:22 PM

The AME works through regular expressions and preg matching. It does't retrieve any information from any service's API's. All the information it pulls are from the URL. You can't pull thumbnails, time codes, and keywords from a URL. But its actually VERY EASY to work in a new script for services.

I can't read through this whole thread.

What do I do if I get a create video table database error while trying to upload xml?
