Add-On Releases - AME'fy - Videos on your profile pages

This add on for AME3 will allow you to spruce the hell out of your member profiles by telling AME3 to parse your members custom profile fields for videos.

• You can place videos in 6 different positions in the sidebar
• You can place videos in tabs
• You can have more than one video in spot
• You can randomly select a video to show (by assigning a couple profile fields to a position and choosing the 'random' option)

Note that AMEFY parses pre-set custom profile fields. It requires at urls are stored in a custom profile field. AMEFY will not create the custom field(s) for you. I recommend using a textbox and setting the field to private so it doesnt display the text when people view their profile.

Install: The same as AME really. Upload the contents to forums and import the includes/xml/product-amefy.xml

See first post for configuration examples

So if someone didn't use any videos in their profiles, they would still have 6 areas designated "video". Is there any way to get rid of this? Like have the title field only appear if they use the option? I see we can't leave the title blank, so not sure how you can go about this.

Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know what to do to make that Profile catagory disappear until they add a video link?

Some members are getting this error when trying to visit their own or someone else's profile:

Fatal error: Class 'vB_ProfileBlock_AMEFY' not found in /home/webel/public_html/includes/class_profileblock.php  on line 71

is there a cure for this?

Would this be possible to show in the postbit_legacy ?

So when you post up, its there

Got the same errors too!
Also since 4.0.3 the mod doesn't work anymore on my forums :S

I checked some things and it seems that people are getting these errors when the link they've added to youtube isn't a valid one. Either the clip has been removed or the link is entered wrongly.

Isn't there a way that the filled in links are first validated by the script before they're saved?

there is a fix now, but profile videos still wont work

Updated to version 1.0.4 to:
1- Address the changed profile tab hooks in vB
2- To not show a box if there is no content (i.e. user hasn't uploaded a video yet)

I can't really set this up to verify the videos. As some have mentioned, some videos are removed from time to time. This means I would have to verify each video each time it was shown and I think that would be far too resource intensive. Plus it simply isn't reliable.

Hope this helps

I'm getting version 1.0.3 shown in products list after updating to 1.0.4 this morning? Is that correct?
