Actually, I think he was directing that at me, since I had originally asked.

I think you guys are gonna like a lot of the changes I've made so far...

There is no longer an "Add Video" button. Instead, the navbar has a drop down list for submitting media, so you can go directly to the submission form. These links hold a category ID in the URL, so when you click on the link, it will automatically select the appropriate category. In addition, there is now a small submission form at the bottom of almost every page, the main page, category pages, tag pages and user pages; it does not display on watch or edit pages. If you're on a category page, it will automatically select the appropriate category again. I know on my forums, getting people to put videos into the correct category was the hardest part. Having it this way will also prevent people from adding media, without first retrieving the information from the server. Which of course, was another problem on my forums... For a lot of users I ended up having to manually edit their videos to put in minutes and seconds because they never clicked the retrieve info button.

Right now media submission forms and tag edit forms (no ajax yet) are working.

By popular demand, I am making it so the subset for "most popular media", is calculated based on the number of COMMENTS, not the number of VIEWS.

Anyone out there able to give me a hand?

I'm trying to put a sidebar into the mod, but I'm having problems getting it to work...

Problem explained in this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=236334

How to change the size of the videos??

Great work Jaxel, when do u think u can publish a Beta Version for vB4?

I don't really do betas... VDM had problems because I was building on someone else's code, which was foreign to my methodology. I tend to work backwards from other programmers. So I usually don't have situations where things are a "work in progress". Either a feature works, or its completely missing. I've been working nonstop for a few days on this mod, so I'll be taking a break tomorrow... Status of things right now are very good.

Right now most of the AJAX functions for the mod are done; the comment system, rating system and submission system all rely on AJAX. The AJAX functions can also fall back onto standard form posting if a user doesn't have javascript, or the administrator disables AJAX functions. The comment system is working great, so we shouldn't have the problems we had with VDR. The editing of the title, tags and description of a video are NOT AJAX driven.

Right now there are ZERO permission settings on my beta site; I wanted to make sure the main functions worked first before I started working on the permissions. So if you want to try things out on the test site, feel free... but you'll be submitting as a guest. But you can do any administrative function currently programmed in, such as editing details and comments.

Remaining on the Agenda...

SIDEBAR
Search
Reporting
Submission Moderation
Comment Moderation
Comment AJAX Editing
Usergroup Permissions
Style Variables
Product Packaging

Is there a need for me to do category permissions like in VDR?

And I'm unemployed again... so donations would be greatly appreciated!

Great work Jaxel, thumbs up!

So your making a brand new product of "Video Directory Remixed" called "Media Library" right?

This is a great module.. I wanna know how i can change the size of the videos!?? Please help

I don't know if thats what I'm gonna finally call it. I'm trying to think up a name. Video Directory is Surviver's mod, since I am no longer using his codebase, it would be wrong of me to continue calling it that.
