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.

The Geak, thanks for your work.

While did rules conversion 2.5 -> 3.0, found bugs in AME code. It appends tail to URL, but tail expression is not correct. Some symbols are missed. That cause AME to ignore links, that's are ok with [ video ] tag.

Here attached 2 files: fixed one, and diff. Please, update distribution!

What's changed:

1. Tail code satisfies latest RFC xxx. AME doesn't fail with any working links.
2. Regular expression splitted, to avoid some improper gready searches.

If someone interested, my latest rules are here: http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-ame_rcd_rules

- fixed fullscreen toggle for all players
- russians foto/video hostings
- russian translation

Without support, but you are free to reuse - it can save your time.

ame_prep.php from sources. I'd recommend to wait, until The Geek review changes & updates release files.

For some unknown reason this has stopped working for photobucket.

Nothing has changed on the forum. When I try to post up a link to a photobucket video it just adds the posts it as a link. Whereas it used to embed it.

If I edit an existing post with an embedded photobucket video that currently works and copy the code and paste into a new post, it does not work. I just get a blank post window.

In had installed the photobucket.xml file from around page 4 or 5 i think it was. It was working fine.

Any ideas?

Renewed repository with my local AME3 patches: http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-foreig...aster/vb-ame3/

Here is summary, what was changed.

Fixed bugs:
-----------

1. Tail code satisfies latest RFC xxx. AME doesn't fail with any working links.

2. Regular expression splitted, to avoid some improper gready searches.

3. "Automatically convert links into videos" didn't saved properly.
Hook "data_postsave" splitted to correctly catch message id for each type of post.

4. Inline editor caused reset "Automatically convert links into videos" parameter
(wrong ajax parameters catch)

Other changes:
--------------

1. Zone numbers done via "define" and moved to file start

2. Removed unused constructor from child classes

3. zone & messageid getters separated from class & polished with vB style.

Known issues:
-------------

1. "Automatically convert links into videos" markers not cleared for deleted posts.

2. Can't be disabled for vbcms articles now - no appripriate hooks.

===============

Please, note, that I'm not developper of AME3 and can't support it. You can use the modified code, but only on your own risk.

I have an issue that was introduced as a result of the 4.0.3 issues.

Every time I post a new thread it get the message

vBulletin Message
Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/vb4tst/public_html/includes/functions_video.php
Line: 1

This is only when posting a new thread, replies work correct.

Also, the thread DOES post and the video IS embedded, but that error message will not be good once I go public with this mod.
