Major Additions - 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.

Roadmap for the Future:

• Moderation
• Favorites
• Playlists

Don't forget to click INSTALL!

2. In same template find: align="right">$vbphrase[category]: and change it to "left".

This is how I cleaned up the template and saved a bit of room at the top as well

Thanks!

You're Right, this is a Much Better Solution, Thank You For Sharing It. :up:

I Think the Category Phrase looks better on the Right as Originally Proposed by Jaxel, but on the Left looks nice too.

My Best Regards.

I forgot to mention that I have CH-MODED the folder in 777 - but still nothing happened with the thumbs. I receive the same error and the same image when it comes to thumbnails.

Is this addon supported? Because I received help from other members, never from the author - and I have this problem for quite a while.

PS: djextreem - somehow it is hard to believe you looked in the right place.

I followed the same indications and had no database error.

Look in Admin CP / styles and templates / edit style / video directory / video add.

For me it worked. Thank you.

Love this script!
It's perfect in everyway that we need except one small change.
Does anyone know or want to create a video-hoster xml file for MLG Game Room and Bungie Videos? Those are the only 2 we really need.
Any response will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Everytime, I say 'yes' and click save, it saves. But then when I try to view it again, it resets it automatically to 'No'.

Can someone help me, I am using 3.8.0 and I have appropriate permissions set for each category under 'Video->Manage Categories'.

same here. in usergroup perms i enable "Can watch and view video details" but it cant get enabled it goes back to disabled status and i cant view for any usergroup. i never had MGC EVO

Subcategory Icon and Markings

What template do I edit to change the subcategory icon?

I also need to remove the weird dot next to the subcat icon which is just wrong looking.

(See screenshot)

Thanks!
