Fixed the above issue I think: Should URLs within the media library be slugged for SEO?

Set to NO and seems to work fine

WORKS A DREAM ;) thankyou

Only issue is Comments.
The avatar has a weird link and says vbulletin in weird text.

As you already figured out, you were getting this error because you enabled SEO slugs. There is an additional file which is included in the zip called ".htaccess". You MUST have an apache server, and MUST upload this file to your forum root in order to get SEO slugs to work correctly. Without this file, your website won't know how to translate the SEO slugs into workable URLs.

You did not follow the complete installation procedures.
CHMOD the /customVID directory and all directories within it to full read/write/execute 777.
You are getting these permissions errors and subsequent errors because you did not give your server full 777 rights to the directories in which thumbnails are created.


Certified "Works for Me". The links on avatars are using vBulletin's official constructs.

Hey Jaxel I was wondering if there is any fix yet for the report and edit functions? Thank you again.

The error when submitting video, etc. Was sorted by disabling the slug. All folders htaccess etc followed and done prior to testing.

The avatar issue is more of a problem.

If memory serves me correct this was also an issue with Farcasters event attendance. I believe was a VB issue. ( could be totally unrelated )

Okay, new version is up with a "fix". I've also discovered a bug in VB4 relating to their avatar construction. (one of many I've discovered, but this is the only one I've bothered reporting; really VB4 is chock full of bugs)


There is no fix on the way for this, as I can't find a problem on vb4.0.3. Make sure you are running the most recent version of VB4. Provide me with more information.

Beautiful Fixed. Thanks :up:

Ah I see. I'm still runnin 4.0.2. I'm paranoid about upgrading to 4.0.3 with all the bugs that have been reported. Thanks again.

I think you guys are gonna like whats coming tomorrow... STYLEVARS!

im pretty sure this is what my site needs but i have no idea how to upload it...if i could get step by step instructions that would be great

1. Upload all the files in the "upload" directory of the attached zip file to your forum root.
2. CHMOD the /customVID directory and all directories within it to full read/write/execute 777.
3. Import the product file called "product-media.xml" in the Product Manager of vBulletin.
4. Set your usergroup permissions and media library settings in your administration control panel.


Those are the steps, pretty standard. Are you new to VB? If you are I could help explain further.

================================================== =========
Version 4.0.2 MASSIVE TEMPLATE REWRITE
================================================== =========

• NEW FEATURE: StyleVar group has been created to handle Media Library styles.

  This is a complete overhaul of the template system for this mod. Every old template has been replaced with new templates which include stylevars, and a new naming structure. I used replace functions in Notepad++ in order to replace the template calls in all the files so there shouldn't be any errors; however, please inform me if there are any issues with this new version, whether it be a template not being called correctly or even unchached templates.

• BUG FIX: Fixed htaccess QSA errors were page numbers were not being processed.
• BUG FIX: Fixed avatar constructs for comments due to a bug within vB4 itself.

Ok so weres the new version??

Database error
the plugin installed ok but the link does not work

Umm... its at the top of the page?


Can't help you. When you get an error, you should cut and paste the error so that I know what the error is and can fix it. Also, what plugin? What link?

I can not get admin options.
I gave the necessary user group izinleride What can I do please help.

The media library plugin installed ok , there is in the admin room and i see the settings , also the media link button appears in navbar but when I press it all the page goes down with the message database error .

Tellya what I would like as a feature request.

Current Users Viewing the Media Library

ive installed etc but obviously something is wrong. When i put in a youtube link and press 'retrieve information' it just turns to 'please wait' and then does nothing............

For example, if I take this clip

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TySRnSsJ9mE

I receive such result:

In the version for vB 3.8 I used iconv converter:

$this->videotitle = iconv('UTF-8','cp1251', $title);

How to upgrade from 4.01 version ?
Do we need to install the whole "upload" folder again or just the new XML?

Thanks for the mod !

Oh my god this is exactly what I had been searching for. Definitely going onto my site!

I see on your website you have a widget on the frontpage called recent videos. You have the code for us so we can make a similar widget ? :) thx for a great mod

My mailbox fills up with vbulletin database error when i installed this mod. What is wrong ?

Oops, very sorry about the DB errors with the new version... I forgot to change one line of code.

Try the current version, should fix the phrase errors.

That widget is for the 3.8 version of Video Directory Remixed. I have not made a widget for this version yet.



Generally speaking, with modifications, you will want to re-upload everything when an update comes out. I've been updating this mod something like 5 times a day since it came out, so I understand thats quite a lot of work. But its not a lot of files, so it really won't take much. Updates will slow down soon as I believe I have most of the bugs worked out. (Really, most of the bugs are caused by VB itself not acting the way it should)



New version just uploaded will now process foreign languages correctly. For some odd reason, vBulletin's built in XML parser converts everything to ISO-8859-1 by default. I don't understand why, when EVERY OTHER XML parser in existence converts things to Unicode. Thankfully, they let you force an encoding type with a simple value pass. So I have forced the parser to read every feed as UTF-8.



Please update your VB to 4.0.3

Jaxel wont the add categories work on 4.0.0?????

Nice work! :)

A few bugs/requests after having a quick play with it on my test site;

1. If Can browse the library is set to No for a user group then hide the navbar from them.
2. When adding new comments, 10 seems to be the minimum number of characters allowed, irrespective of the setting in ADMIN CP > Settings > Options > Message Posting and Editing Options> Minimum Characters Per Post. If possible, if a user tries to enter a message that is too short then it should say what the minimum length allowed is (rather than just "too short").
3. Attempting to edit a comment returns an error of "The comment you have entered is far too short and has been rejected." (regardless of comment length).
4. There is no way to delete a comment (unless this is done via the "Edit" link?).
5. If you enter a comment it displays the message "Your comment has been posted! It will show up shortly..." which remains there even when the message has already shown up and prevents the user from being able to submit another comment (without refreshing the page).
6. Error messages (such as "Our records show that this particular media is already in the media library!") don't have 'Back' buttons, so if a user encounters them there's no way to navigate away from it.
7. The "Report Media" feature doesn't seem to work.
8. Tagging doesn't follow the minimum value set in ADMIN CP > Settings > Options > Tagging Options > Tag Minimum Length.

They're just a few minor things I found but overall very impressive and thanks for your work :).

one of the best mods ever, thanks for the hardwork

fuk spoke to soon

everytime i play a vid i get a datebase error emailed to me even though everything is working fine

I have 4.0.3 and so good already.

Hi,
Did you do the product update "product-medialibrary.xml"?
Had a simmilar problem - uploaded the files without the product update, gave me some weird errors, check that you uploaded all the files in the upload folder.

yeah i uploaded it to the xml folder

Thanks for the update, I think this is the best mod I ever seen!!!

Ok Upgraded.

One suggestion, could you rename your zip and upgrade by new version. With more apt version changes please.

Also, great work btw. Can we now delete all media templates apart from new ones: with prefix 8wr_media

If so: please supply a list of all obsolete templates

================================================== =========
Version 4.0.3 AUTO CREATE AND VERIFICATION FEATURES
================================================== =========

• NEW FEATURE: The Auto-Create Thread feature has once again returned!
• NEW FEATURE: Tag, Comment, Description and Title verification handlers now follow built in vB4 settings. Each of these fields will follow their related forum setting such as "Tag Minimum Length" or "Tag Maximum Length". If a field should fail to meet the specifications, the error handlers will now explain why it has failed in more detail.
• BUG FIX: Fixed information retrieval for feeds with non-Latin sources.
• BUG FIX: Fixed phrasegroup error within AJAX functions created in 4.0.2.
• BUG FIX: Miscellaneous SQL and template errors no one knew about but me.

1. I'll look into it
2. Fixed in new version.
3. Editing comments works fine for me, vb4.0.3... what other mods do you have installed?
4. Yes, deleting comments is done through the edit link.
5. This is BY DESIGN. If you look at YouTube, it does a the same thing. You can only comment on a video once without refreshing. This is a deterrent so that people don't try to spam the comments.
6. The error pages use the built in error system for VB. There is no back button because VB itself does not have a back button built in. A user can simply press the back button on their browser, or use the backspace key to go back a page.
7. Reporting media works fine for me, vb4.0.3... what other mods do you have installed?
8. Fixed in new version.


This bug has been fixed in the newest version.


If you didn't change your templates, the obsolete templates should have been deleted automatically. Anything without "8wr_media" in the front is obsolete.

Few suggestion:

"Like" button or "Thanks" button integration on media page
"Add to Favorites" button on media page
"Download This Media" button on media page
"Related Media" on media page
"Most Discussed Media" on Main page of Media Library
"Featured Media" on Main page of Media Library
"Recent Media" forum block

update worked a charm cheers
