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.

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.

Version 2.5.4 has been uploaded.

This is a maintenence realease that addresses a rare bug with some page titles. Apart from version numbers in file headers and the product XML, the only file that has changed is includes/ame_bbcode.php

You can simply replace that file, or upgrade as normal.

if the posts contains embed videos from yahoo, myspace or slideshare, it gives a lot of script error alert when you close your browser. only happens in IE7, FF3 works fine.

[The Geek]

Must be your custom definitions (none of those are default definitions). Make sure you let the author know.

well i think those embed code conflicts with the vbulletin system. i tried to disable plugin system and allow html in posts. then paste the embed code directly into the post. same errors happen.

maybe someone could help report this bug to vbulletin.com? i can only get support on vbulletin-china.cn, and i won't rely on them.

Check the FAQ and readme. It wont automatically embed old urls unless you rebuild them through the amecp. Do new/edited posts work?

My YouTube links do not convert after update.

[The Geek]

That URL works fine on a default installation.

[nascartr]

Must be DJ's Definitions then. That's the only change I've made since updating.

looking at the source, it looks like you may have some sort of addon that puts ads around youtube links. not sure though.
