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.

Solidsnake@GTI can fix it. He is not well versed on the Regex but he can solve what the problem is for sure. Please give him a day before you contact him. He is in the middle of a huge project for me.

He is not but hopefully by tomorrow he will have this mile stone reached and can give you 30 minutes.

We will be needing his services for months to come however. We rarely use any code out of the box but have most of it rewritten to our needs. AME is the exception to this rule as it rocks from the box.

He will look into it as soon as he fixes my issues. I have ask him about it. PM him tomorrow some time if you will or in 12 hours from now.

This thread here http://www.theadminzone.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=60477 brought up a great question. Could ads be somehow placed into this? Whether it be a block besides the video an ad before the video plays, like a lot of the bigger sites use?

Food for thought?

You do anything you want just by editing the ame_container template HTML.

Hi, I've upgraded my AME installation to the latest version, uploaded new files but still have double YouTube boxes. You can see my settings in attachment, can you tell me what is wrong there?

I think you have DUPLICATE definitions for the same links.

I got it (because youtube videos double on posts) but don't know how to solve. That's the problem.
