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.

Understood - I thought I would mention I have this working fine on a 4.1.2 board using the fix mentioned n post 1. The database I I installed this into already had AME 2.1 tags throughout for like the past two years of data. I ran the convert agin the post data base and all the tags that did not work any longer on my production 3.7.1 board are now working in my 4.1.2 test/upgrade build.

so, amazonlinks still not working: marked as uninstalled

Yup, worked great for me in 4.1.2 after I used the fix you posted here.....

you shouldn't edit core files. it's a shame we can't delete that post because it's so wrong.

here is the correct way to do it:

Is there any tested xml with support for more videos?
I have tried Digital Jedi's, but it didn't worked for me.

Edit includes/functions_video.php and change:

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin; 


to

PHP Code:

function parse_video_bbcode($pagetext)
{
    global $vbulletin;
require_once(DIR . '/includes/ame_prep.php');
$providers = ame_data_preparse($pagetext); 


applying this completely trashes my skin when editing a post in advanced mode

wtf ?

please, DISABLE ame cache (speed will not be affected).

Fixes were already described here

Full sources with changes history here: http://github.com/rcdesign/vb-foreig...aster/vb-ame3/

this fixed all my vb4.1.2 problems

would have helped if it was in the main topic though as opposed to being hidden amongst hundreds of posts :/

I hope the community can (and will) make use of the various versions of AME to keep it alive. Please do me a favour and keep relevant credits where they are due - but otherwise run with it and keep the project alive.

I won't go into the reasons for my walk away from vB - it doesn't after all take a genius to put it all together.

Best of luck all. Thanks for the fish

this is a shame for all the people that paid good money for your pro hacks such as GARS

Can someone do gametrailers for AME3 ? It works on AME2.5 with vb3.8 but not working with AME3 on vb4

Thanks
