To manually add the mod to FORUMHOME or FORUMDISPLAY use:

To manually add the mod to one particular forum:
Copy/paste the code below into the FORUMDISPLAY template of the skin you are using. I usually put it under the {vb:raw navbar}. Change the red "x" to the sub-forum id.


***Note: I have tested this on vBulletin 4.0.5 and it is working 100%***

v3.0 Note: If you are upgrading from a previous version that required template edits you "MUST" undo those template edits or lytebox won't work.

Nice work...it would be even better as a forumhome block. :)

Would be even sweeter if we could some how embed a trailer video! Does the part where is the video summary parse html or bbcode?

Hm. The embedded trailer video is a neat idea but wouldn't the video be too small? It's always worth a try. Ill see what I can come up with. As of right now the video summary does not parse html or bbcode. Possibly something to be added in an update.


//EDIT//
Added v2.0 with the Embedded YouTube Trailer.

it's possibile see it not in forumhome but only in a forum?

How would you change/control which trailer to put? Is through the admin panel and you add the embed code there?

Currently the only location's available are on FORUMHOME. I am working on being able to put it anywhere you choose.


If you look in this image: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...7&d=1279903787

All you have to do for the YouTube trailer to embed is enter the id of the YouTube video.
(Copy/Paste the red ID into the correct filed in the AdminCp options)

Good deal my friend. Thank you very much. Very useful mod.

Error XML: Unknown on line 1 ?

Eeek. Sorry, that's a my bad. I accidentally change it from 1.0 to 2.0 when I changed the version on the mod. Sorry about that. Just re-uploaded version 2.0. There should be no error on line 1 now.

I am also about to be done with another update allowing some custom placements on the forum.

Good stuff. It would be good if it was integrated into a voting system like vb.org's own mod of the month.

Can you please have it so it is in its own frame instead of just having the blockhead.

Thanks

Bugs:

blockhead stays at the top whilst the mod is above the footer option enabled
collapse is not in same position as the rest (picky I know :()
When collapsing 'Above footer option' mod will disappear and unable to recall until you move it to another location in ACP.
Need <br /> added to the top as it looks to close to other tables.

Will provide images on errors if needed :p

Thanks for the bugs report. :) Screeshots would be great that way I can look over the mod and take'em one by one.

Where would this be on the forum? Would it be a tab?

1) Above Footer bug - No header

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/23.jpg

But when you scroll up its sat here under the navbar

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/24.jpg

2) Notice these lines around normal forums.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/25.jpg

There are no lines surrounding your mod.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/26.jpg

3) First 3 circles depict correct positioning of collapse button , the last circle is your mod collapse button in wrong position

3a) Arrows point to spaces between forums but none on your mod.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/27.jpg

The problem of the mod disappearing on collapse was incorrect.

Thanks

* I am using a hack to separate category's as normally they are stacked

I double this, thanks RobbieZ.

It shows on FORUMHOME and can be manually placed on FORUMDISPLAY or FORUMHOME.

Thanks RobbieZ. I fixed the small bugs you mentioned. There aren't suppose to be any lines on the mod. I have also but some space above the mod so that there will be enough space between it and the forums if put below forums. Thanks again for taking time to take screen shots of the bugs. :)

Anyone know if this works on 4.0.5 ?

It would be a handy addition to my site.

tagged..looks very promising indeed

Thanks bugs fixed :D

* Please note that - Sorky Sub Forum List Control clashes with this mod if 'Below Forums' setting is used !

Above Footer and Below Navbar are fine but its better on the latter if you want to attract more activity.

* Nominated ;)

tested 4.0.5 yea works with a single problem that trailer video is not loading ...

any solution for it?

installed btw.

Works on 4.0.3... Problems could be that the video from youtube is not embeddable.

or you havent entered the video code correctly?

www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZvgEnadE8vw <-- This is for youtube link

--------------------------- ZvgEnadE8vw <-- this is for trailer.

edit.....thanks..

Checked on my board. Video plays ok for me.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/20.jpg

Now im sure I read that the upgrade to 4.0.5 changes the way vbulletin handles video's

See this thread https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=608

Geek actually says it was 4.03 but everyone is saying this fixes AME 3 on the latest vbulletin.

I havent seen any other mods that handle youtube in forums or members profile's.

If this mod stops working when I upgrade then I will have to uninstall this lovely mod.

Shame on you vb :mad:

PS nice artwork :D:D:D can u share ? *edit* sorted :p

PPS your icons are in the wrong folder ;)

Only enter the Red part of the url and it works fine with VB4.0.5

Also Youtube urls may look like this.

Again only copy the Red part of the url that is the actual video ID.

i did it thanks guys....

Thanks for the posts guys and the intalls :)

promet, I'm going to be looking into the reason in just a minute. Ill dedicate today to making sure this will work with 4.0.5 and trying to see whats wrong with Sorky Sub Forum List Control clash when the mod is 'Below Forums'.

///EDIT///

I have just tested the mod with 4.0.5 and it works well. The trailer shows up and it doesn't seem to clash with the Sorky - SubForum List Control. Not with the default settings anyway. I have attached a screen shot below of it working 'Below Forums' with Sorky - SubForum List Control.

Cool, it may be some settings I have on sorky's :confused:

Hm. No idea. Could you take a screen shot of the clash? Or explain the clash better?

How do you add this to vbadvanced ?

Installed and working great!
Thanks

This is soooo fantastic dont let it die why not have some way members can sugest a film and others vote for the choices.
www.britmovie.net/britforum
Great job.

Be superb to have that inc in this system!

I don't understand why you don't add outside border and shadow just like vb have with every block. Sorry I don't like it.

Perhaps today I can work on adding a border for those who would like it to have one. :)

Thanks for your suggestion again Veer.

@ragarcia87 - Woo Hoo..

Info : You can use HTML in Movie Summary, (cant function <strong> or <h1> etc) but <center> and <br /> works, but it looks good.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/07/5.png

installed ..looks great ..thanks guys ...be nice to have the border around it tho ..top mod ..appreciate it

***UPDATE***

I added product-motweek -borders. I didn't put it in it's own package or update because it's optional. If you want borders you can download/import product-motweek -borders. If you don't want borders then keep using the version you have.

Thank you, it would be very nice :)

Thanks, let me check it out :)

Working great too with the borders Thanks
