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.

Thanks for your answer.

OK Got the first part but what do I do with this bit.

Then Edit the plugin titled: AME - Auto Convert URLs. And click save

????? Many thanks

Okay, so just to be sure since I have to work these from the inside out, let me know if I've got the tags compared correctly.

<item> = <def>
<id> = <providerid>
<title> = <tagoption>
[s]<description>[/s]
NEW = <url>
[s]<displayorder>[/s]
<findcode> = <regex_url>
<replacecode> = <embed>
[s]<status>[/s]
[s]<container>[/s]
<embedregexp> = <regex_scrape>
[s]<extraction>[/s]
<gdef> = <priority>
[s]<ameid>[/s]
[s]<validation>[/s]

<item> = <def> yup
<id> = <providerid> yup
<title> = [s]<tagoption>[/s] title = provider
[s]<description>[/s] Yup
NEW = <url> Yup. This is the home page. Links the Provider in the 'popup' media box.[s]<displayorder>[/s] displayorder = priority
<findcode> = <regex_url> Yup
<replacecode> = <embed> Yup. Only takes 1 param though: {vb:raw code}
[s]<status>[/s] yup
[s]<container>[/s] yup
<embedregexp> = <regex_scrape> Yup
[s]<extraction>[/s] Yup. asserted if regex_scrape contains value
[s]<gdef> = <priority>[/s]
[s]<ameid>[/s] ameid = tagoption
[s]<validation>[/s]

So to recap:

providerid (was id) isn't really used on insertion anyway
provider (was title). A User friendly name for definition. Appears in the media popup box linked
url (new). A link to the provider home page. Used with Provider name to provide user friendly link in video popup box
tagoption (was ameid). A unique textual key to identify defintion
regex_url (was findcode). The regex to match the URL. Grabs the 1 parameter unless regex_scrape is specified
regex_scrape (was embedregexp). The regex that will return 1 match from the destination page.
embed (was replacecode). This is the html with {vb:raw code} in it. It actually gets build into the bbcode_video template.

Others are discontinued.

Okay, thanks. Now does the order in the XML matter here, because I see a couple of tags have changed position?

when i create a new topic i see this error

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/amefy_class.php on line 176

Thats a bug with AME'fy, not AME3. ALl it means is that you haven't set up an entry in AME'fy yet. Set one up and it goes away. Ill see if I can update the package today to fix this.

You replied over there to this message.

http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showt...esizing-in-CMS

Have you gotten the issue w/the CMS worked out, where it will resize them ?

[The Geek]

There is no issue with the CMS and AME. If you uninstall AME you will see the exact same problem using vB4's video popup because the problem is vB4.

[meissenation]

Doesn't work for me.

I have it in there and the checkbox is checked to parse it into video. Youtube is defined and it's a new post that was done after installing AME so it's not a matter of rebuilding posts. It's simply not doing anything to the youtube link.
