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.
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.

Support,

Search this thread with the word "vbadvanced" and you'll see some others having issues and having them resolved. Hopefully yours falls into the same category as one of the others and you'll be fixed up! :up:

Too bad. This works fine with vBadvanced. You just have to set your character count higher.

I offered to take a look at it your Admin CP for you if you give me temp access. I've tried everything else from this end.

In the vB4 section, yes. Just look at The Geek's profile.

I have installed this mod but had to disable it because it caused my vbspell mod to break. When I try to spell check my words I get this

var mispstr = "Thiss is a test to tsee what the hell is causin g th"; var misps = Array(new misp('Thiss',0,4,['This','Those','Thus','Thous','Thews','Thaws','These','Thais']), new misp('tsee',19,22,['toes','tace','tees','tasse','tues','ties','does','tease','teas','duce','tuis','tews','tass','tazze','dose','taus','tassie','doze','taws','dace','tawse','tusseh','tis','tows','touse','des','toys','daze','dees','toss','taos','tissue','dies','dice','dues','toeas','tas']), new misp('causin',41,46,['cousin','cassino','casino','casein','casini','Gaussian','quassin','cuisine','cosign','kosin','cosine','caisson']));;
vB Spell

Anyone have this issue or know how to fix ?

Otherwise, I don't believe there is a way with 2.5's tools to properly convert a single tag wrapped around multiple URLs from multiple sites.

This is the MySql error:

/includes/xml/bitfield_ms_searchsocialgroups.xml

That's the culprit. It's the last bitfield when editing the usergroup properties. I just had the same problem while migrating my dev box to vB4.0 and upgrading AME to 3.0. The file comes from the Search Social Groups Link On Navbar Search mod. Most likely you've disabled/deleted the mod, but the bitfield file is still in the xml folder.
