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

@inciaro... this mod will overwrite Survivor's version.

@arnyvee... its HDEF for HD, HTTP for SD.

Going to sleep now... got Jury Duty tommorow.

[ArnyVee]

Oh man...hopefully you don't get picked for jury duty!

Thanks for the support. :up:

[Jaxel]

I WANT to get picked... I show up at 8AM... if I dont get picked, then I sit around till 5PM before I can go home... If I get picked, then the trial could be over within a few hours and I could go home earlier.

[ArnyVee]

Okay, so I hope you get picked early! :up:

By the way, I just tested a HD video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvYAfiUiycs) and changed the "http" to "hdef" and it still came through at the normal size. So, maybe tomorrow you can take a look and see if I did something wrong (probably my fault ) ... here's the link to my posted video http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/vide...world-107.html


Can someone post the RSS Feed url ? I had it written down and can't find it.

[Jaxel]

Did you install the NEW versions of the YouTube XMLs? You must re-install them manually to get the updates.

[ArnyVee]

AHA!

I knew I forgot something

I uploaded them, but forgot to import them again through "Manage Hoster"! Works now!

I tried the new xml that you attached, that worked. Installed fine. When navigating to video.php i get this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.3:

Invalid SQL:

		SELECT videotagvideo.tagid AS tag, videotag.*, COUNT(*) AS quantity
			FROM VB_videotagvideo
			INNER JOIN VB_videotag ON (videotag.tagid = videotagvideo.tagid)
			WHERE videotagvideo.dateline > 1199761312
			GROUP BY videotag.tagid, videotag.tagtext
			ORDER BY quantity DESC
			LIMIT 50;

MySQL Error   : Unknown table 'videotag'
Error Number  : 1051
Request Date  : Tuesday, January 6th 2009 @ 09:01:52 PM
Error Date    : Tuesday, January 6th 2009 @ 09:01:52 PM

P.S. Could vBSEO be causing this?

No, I don't have vseo and also have this error. I don't understand how others can have this mod up and running, while I (and others) are receiving this error (after an install that seemd allright).

@Arnvee: It seems your install is working. Didn't you get this error? And what did you do to fix it? (btw, great site you got there)

[indie2industry]

Jaxel. This is by far my favorate mod. Be expecting a donation soon.

[Lionel]

Actually I had to fix a couple of lines. One of them

SELECT videotagvideo.tagid AS tag, videotag.*, COUNT(*) AS quantity
FROM VB_videotagvideo videotagvideo
INNER JOIN VB_videotag AS videotag

you do that and the database errors will disappear
