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!

I have asked this question a few times still with no answer could someone please let me know if it is possible to add videos that are currently being hosted on our own server? Would really help if I could get a direction on this. Thanks in advance.

I seem to be having some issues after upgrading from Survivor?s version (1.1.0 RC2) to this one (1.3.0). Since my site is live I had to revert back to Survivor?s version again until I can fix these bugs.

1. The top ___ contributors: instead shows as Top %1$s Contributors:
2. There is no visible link anywhere to add a video.
3. The pre-existing videos do not load and you can only view the tags, details, and comments. I also noticed that it is using youtube-nocookie.com instead of youtube.com, is this normal? If not how would I change it.

Since I had to revert back to the original version I?m not sure if these are all the bugs or not, I already found how to fix another bug I didn?t list. I'm still reading through all the posts but I?d greatly appreciate any help with this. Thank you.

Guys, I don't blame Jaxel for not repeating himself to answer the same questions over and over. Please research the answers before simply asking.

There is a "search this thread" option towards the top right of this thread, simply click that and put in a search term such as "vBSEO" or "install" and read the responses.

Jaxel has been very supportive of this mod from the inception, but it's just silly to think that he'd have to answer the same questions repeatedly.

Whenever I add a mod to my site from vB.org, I research it as much as possible. Odds are that another admin has already asked and received a response to that question.

Give the search a try and good luck :up:

Is that Mod still supported ? So many people asking something to the Developer of the Mod and he/she isn't responding anymore or supporting.
