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.
Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
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:
Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
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.

If you want to donate, I'm all for it... as I'm an unemployed computer programmer...
I'm having problems with the sidebar element... if someone could take a look at it for me and explain to me what I'm doing wrong, I would appreciate it.
I took a look at it and the code is so much diferent from vb3. I'm having a friend take a look at it as well, he's doing a custom skin for VB4 for us and this mod being CRUCIAL to our upgrade event we will try and help you out with this as much as we can, we'll let you know if we come up with any feedback for you. Thank again for the effort, sorry about your job, I'm on the same boat since feb.

* How can I store thumbnails in the database instead of as files (I have a 250,000 file limit/aka Inodes limit with hostgator)
* Where can I put my adsense ads on this mod?

I think somewhere in this thread the current coder: Jaxel said that they are not handling any support for 3.x.x

The adsense part of the mod is in this thread somewhere. Do a search for 'adsense' and you should be able to find your answer.
lol, I've tried searching for adsense but unfortunately I don't believe you can search within a thread?
EDIT: Nevermind found the search button buried in the top right drop down menu. Someone suggests looking in areas and doesn't give a definitive answer.
Why is this thread for 3.8.X version of vBulletin being used for a hack that will be for the 4.X version, while the actual one version for 3.8.X will not be updated, as stated by the author?
Well the import script worked great... not flawless, but probably as good as it's gonna get.'
I'm having a weird issue in Chrome and Firefox with the front page however... just looking at it, you will be able to see whats wrong. Does anyone know how to fix it?
