AME 2.0 -Auto Media Embedding for posts, blogs, visitor and group messsages

AME 2.0 -Auto Media Embedding for posts, blogs, visitor and group messsages - vBulletin.org Forum

Allows user to simply 'paste' in a URL (i.e. a youtube link) without needing to know any special tags. However instead of displaying just the URL, it will show the media within the post
is lightweight as it does all of her chores without the overhead of having 1 bbcode per pattern or trying to parse a post every single time it gets displayed with a bunch of patterns. AME radically reduces overhead and speeds up processing. The only time ame will kick in is after creating a new post or after editing an existing one (or if an ame tag is found)
is extensible. She allows you to add, edit, delete, import and export patterns. That way you can decide which services to support, how they should look and then share them with others! At time of typing this, there are over 150 media sites that have been contributed by vBulletin.org members
can extract the title (requires your server to allow url wrappers with fetch_contents)
can extract embed code from sites whose URLs do not contain sufficient information to embed the video
can rebuild your old posts to convert your 'other' mediaish tags into URL tags.
can rebuild your old posts, blogs, comments, visitor and social group messages to convert URL tags into ame tags where needed
can convert her codes BACK to url codes so you're not stuffed with a bunch of dead tags if you uninstall!
won't uglify your site by having videos appear in quotes, php, code or html blocks (blech!)
can be globally disabled
can be excluded from forums
can exclude usergroups
can be toggled on/off per post, blog, comment, visitor and social group message
would cook dinner for you if she had arms
can wrap the output in a 'container' with original URL
has a super comprehensive admincp help system. Yes, I actually took the bloody time to add all the info you need into vB's admincp help system. If you ask a silly question in this thread that is addressed in the help system, you will be taunted.
is fully phrased
has hooks around integral operations so you can extend it
Supports embedding in vbBlog, Visitor Messages and Social Groups.
Can be disabled in one or more of the following sections: Posts, vbBlog, Visitor Messages and/or Social Groups

Which sites are supported?

At time of counting this, there are about 170 sites supported. But I have only included a few common standards as default (yahoo, youtube, myspace, google and Amazon). Why only these? AME was designed with its own import and export system that enables users to create or modify definitions and share them with the community. This keeps the system lightweight, customisable and saves us all from having to upgrade every time a media site changes their URL structure or if I add another site.

Check out the 'add ons' section of this post below to see availible add-ons.

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.
Big thanks goes out to all those in the community that have supported this mod. Especially Digital Jedi Who has created about 155 definitions for this system alone!

Local Hosted Videos
For videos uploaded to your site, you need these Media Definitions. These XML files need to be edited, either in the AME CP or in an HTML Editor. Look for YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE and change it to the domain name of your site. Do not include .com, .net, .de, .co.uk or anything like that. So, for example, if your site is http://www.cogonline.net, then you'd change YOUR_SITE_NAME_HERE to cogonline. This DOES NOT embed attachments.

MP3 (.MP3 Extentions)
QuickTime (.MOV Extentions)
RealMedia (.RM & .RAM Extentions)
Flash (.SWF Extentions)
Windows Media Videos (.WMV Extention)

DOWLOAD AND INSTALLATION
There are three files available. There's a Master XML file if you want to start fresh with the complete set of definitions, and a ZIP file with each one seperated. Remember that AME Definitions do not overwrite. You have to delete/disable your old definitions or they could possibly conflict.

Also, I put the Media Definitions for Local Hosted videos in a seperate XML. They are not in the master XML or in the main zip.

Definitions are installed by importing them through your AME CP in your Admin CP. YOU DO NOT IMPORT THEM THROUGH YOUR PRODUCT MANAGER.

Remember to Click Install so you can be informed via email when a new files is added or updated!! I've got more in the works! THANKS everyone!

Do I have to say geif? This would be awesome. Last time I suggested it to HeRog it wasn't updated to vB 3.7.x...

Now it is.
