Goldbrick Audio/Video Media System
 

Some of you might be looking for Anymedia. Well this has replaced it. It's a total rewrite from the ground up. A huge thanks goes to Sir Adrian for creating the framework. He can't cook soup but he sure can code. :)

Why the name goldbrck?

<font size="2">Usage Instructions:</font>

Admin:
Usergroup permission are in the usergroup section.

Forum permissions are in the forum section.

Goldbrick options are under vbulletins options.

Users:
Take a link from a supported video site and just post the link. For users own media they can post a link to the media file and Goldbrick will convert it and play it in the supported media player.

haha - you reserved twice :P
Anyway - thanx NIX - looks great. So I will reserve as well till 3.7 is installed on JPiC!
Thanx for the share ;)

Jacquii.

Yea I keep getting a blank screen. I didn't think it went through.

So what does this do? Adds video in a post?

Videos, mp3, images etc.

I'm adding more information. Just updating a few things real quick.

ok, thanks

thnx but ill wait for a 3.7.0 template before i install as cant get default to install

woot! looks awesome!! can I ask:

- any potential serverload issues for big boards? (does it add many queries)
- php5? doh! what happens with php4..it just not work at all?
- usergroup based permissions?
- youtube like interface would be AWESOME!! can't wait for that one. :)

-One of goals of this was to write it for big boards. If you have vb's postcache on there are no queries for viewing. If you have it turned off, all the media info is stored in the database so it won't have to retrieve it with each view.

-Goldbrick was written with php5 new class additions.

- Yep. Individual forum permissions also. For video sites you don't want to allow just remove them from the sites folder. Extensions permission are the Goldbrick section.

- Yup.

I've noticed some phrases that still need to be done. I'm doing those now.

Well I will stick to the big guy :up:

The future features sound good but I think I will stick with AME for now. Good work though! :)

awesome. :) thx!

srry on more question:
- isn't this gunna conflict with 3.7 lightbox? how's that work?

Suggestion:
would love to see this with somekinda HIDE (with permissions) mod.

since this opens up so many opportunities and incentives to upload directly to our site (a good thing!) ...it also would be great to have control of how they download/access as well.

eg: need to post before can see the download for an mp3. etc



in any case... great work!! can't wait for this to go gold. :) (as in not beta...as opposed to goldbrick. lol ;))

hi.

getting this error

/home/root/public_html/Forums/goldbrick/plugins/bbcode_create.php on line 52

Great news but: PHP 5 is a killer.

"Forum admins can add their own video sites"

Where is that option? I dont find nothing in my admincp.

nice work m8 thanks

aft click to preview an post, show this error:

Fatal error: Call to a member function deliver() on a non-object in ..........\goldbrick\plugins\bbcode_create.php on line 73

System: PHP 5.23
Vb version: 3.6.8 and 3.7b2

what link did you use?

Just post preview in new thread page.

PS: the parse dont work in my board test. Nothing work fine like previos version.

[media]url[/media] still showing like a normal text.

I didn't add it to post preview yet.

again... so does this work IN LIEU of 3.7 lightbox? or somehow with it?

I've been waiting for something like this. Thanks, I'll give this a try.

Thanks...

Me too.

Precisely what does this do? How do users enter media? Thanks.

Nice hack nix, i will just wait for the readme to know what is it about exactly and how to use it cause I installed it and have no idea how this is used.

Thanks!~

Yeah nice hack but ..

Does not work on first refresh of page.

Shows the link only, then requires a refresh to get the link to change to media.

In lieu of. This uses highslide. I'm going to make a version that uses vb lightbox.
I haven't added quickreply and preview yet. I'll get those in.
I'll get one out soon. To use it though just take a link from say youtube and post it. The mod will do the rest.
see above
What version of php? It will only work with php5

^^^^ Thanks for the info !!

Ah that's it.

Only showing link for me with youtube videos, not converting to actual video.

Same here :/

As it would seem, you cannot edit a post then put a new video in it. Also, you cannot edit a video to be a different video site.

New posts and new threads are the only way ATM.

awesome mod!!
does it play mp3/media attached file as of yet?? before i kill myself trying (i been for past hour)!!
trials!!
thanks!

when released, deserves to be MofTM

Does it have to use Ligthbox or can without?

Yes it does. Move attachments to the file system and make sure you add the mp3 extension to vbulletins attachment manager.
Yea, haven't added that yet. But I'll get it.
Right now with only. I'll be adding the without here shortly.

but vb 3.7 has light box by default :/ isn't it redundant..
