Video-Directory Remixed
 

This mod has been rewritten for vB4x here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240677

This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.

What is this mod?

This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.

Basic Feature Listing:

• Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
• Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
• Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
• Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
• Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
• Category profiles for videos.
• Contribution profiles for users.
• Keyword profiles for tag cloud.
• Built in comment system for videos.
• Search function for titles and descriptions.
• RSS feed of videos.

Product Demo:

http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php

Installation Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
5. Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.

NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.

Upgrade Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
5. Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
   • You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.

NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.

• BUG FIX: Now when you delete a video, it now properly deletes the thumbnail.

================================================== =========
Version 1.1.3
================================================== =========

• Added support for a tagging system and tag cloud!

  • Simply change the HTTP in your youtube link to HDEF!
    
  • This will signify an HD YouTube video instead of an SD YouTube video.
    
  • Marking an SD only video as HD, will break the video playback.
    
• Added support for multi-column video listings.
  
  • You can now define a number of columns for your listing pages.
    
  • If you define 1 column, the preview continues to call on video_bit.
    
  • If you define more than 1 column, the preview calls on video_bit_more.
    
• Added length of preview title; so you can restrict length with ellipses.
• Changed templates to define max overflows for information fields in video bits.
  
  • <div class="smallfont" style="max-height: 13px; overflow: hidden;">
    
  • <div class="smallfont" style="max-height: 52px; overflow: hidden;">
    
  • This guarantees your tables never overflow because of text lengths.
    
• BUG FIX: the homepage now properly calls up the top rated construct.
• BUG FIX: search results now properly call up the videosperpage value.

================================================== =========
Version 1.1.1
================================================== =========

  // define('SEO_ENABLED', true);
  in upload/video.php
  

  • Enabling the SEO slug is NOT for people with vbSEO, you dont need it.
    
  • The required apache rewrite rules are in htaccess.txt.
    
  • BUG: Enabling the SEO slug will inherintly break the Who's Online recognition.
    
  • BUG: The &page= variable in the SEO slug is not properly optimized.
    
• Added support for videocategory leveling. This is not a sub-category system.
  
  • The level simply implies the indent level of a category.
    
  • This makes it LOOK like categories are sub-categories, when they arent.
    
• Added support for video listings based on contributor user accounts.
  
  • Clicking on a username will bring a view to all videos by that user.
    
• Created "video_details_embed" to move embedded videos above the shell.
  
  • This gives more space to high definition video services.
    
• "Random" and "Best Reated" listing options have been removed from video_details.
  
  • These searches are now delegated to only home/category/user/tag listings.
    
  • The "Related Videos" listing option has remained intact on video_details.

Jaxel, you are THE man! I've said it once...I've said it a thousand times :D

i have some problems installing
"the field call level is missing or not is a valid comand"

so should I just completely reinstall this? i'm also dying to know how that second screen shot is done?

thanks Jaxel, you rock

@WarLion... I just uploaded a new version... i made a mistake in the install code and forgot to put in the TABLE_PREFIX code. If you used the table prefix function, then it would have failed at creating the level fiedl. Now it should be fixed... If you are still having trouble, run the following codes on your database... (replace TABLE_PREFIX with whatever your table prefix is, or remove it if you dont have a table prefix.

ALTER TABLE TABLE_PREFIX.video ADD timelength int(10) unsigned NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE TABLE_PREFIX.videocategory ADD level int(10) NOT NULL

@jlew24asu... You don't have to uninstalll Survivor's version, this one overwrites it. Follow the UPGRADE steps.

Can't wait for this ..... "AJAX handling of video comments (to avoid refresh during playback)" :up:

very nice work ,,,,,,, thanks

@jaxel i still have the same problem
"A required field called level is missing or has an invalid value."

i try with the update and you still have two bad code on
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE" . TABLE_PREFIX . "videocategory ADD level int(10) NOT NULL");

and in
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE" . TABLE_PREFIX . "video ADD timelength int(10) unsigned NOT NULL");

must be "ALTER TABLE " with a space betwen table an "

but the level value is still not working any help will be apreciate

Jaxel, what do I do with this error I encountered within the admin when importing the new product?


....and, I get this when I clicked on "video" in my navbar.....
