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.
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.

22/1/09 - v. 2.5.2. Adresses a couple minor issues and character sets
It seems like you are missing some of the required AME files.
Please upload the contents of the upload/forums folder into your forums directory before installing this modification.
Sounds like you need to take out the file checker.. I mean if people cant read the README and get all kinds of errors, not your problem LOL
Download 2.5.1, upload all the files and reimport the product xml.
Sorry about the hassle, was trying to prevent plethora of silly troubleshooting posts and instead got 3 pages of troubleshooting posts about my solution!
I cannot figure out where the "amecache-Index" folder/file goes, is it in the forum root directory?
I also get the file missing message, but I put that down to me ballsing up the upgrade
Nice mod though. Cheers.
Upload all the files in the forums folder into the folder on your server where vB is. the amecache folder (and the index file inside it) will go into your vB root directory (just like all the other files and folders).
