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

Yeah, since it was taken over, I wanna make sure what to do.

[rapidphim]

does anyone know why there is ???? on the timer of the video thumbnail?

[GlamRockTalk]

rapidphim,

If you didn't add the information in automatically by clicking "load information" when uploading the video, then you'd have to go back into the video detail page for that particular video, click on "edit" and then enter the minutes and seconds in those spaces next to the tag field.

[rapidphim]

a ha... I thought it will pick up automatically....

btw, do you know how to not allow posting video on the main category? Example

Main Catagory: no video should be posted
----Category A: video posted
----Category B: video posted

Things like that..... Thanks much.

Jaxel, I just noticed that the 'FH Video Directory Mod' is showing the 'latest comments' as the first comment made and not the most recent. Should I go through the actual mod's developer for assistance or would you (or anyone else) know the quick fix on that?

Check here for what I mean....

www.glamrocktalk.com (below "notices" I have the Video FH section)

....you can see that the most recent video is "Queen - Under Pressure (Live at Wembley Stadium 1986)" and the "Latest Comment" was placed by Rothnroll. But, if you go to the video detail for that video....

....you can see that the "latest comment" is actually by GRTArnyVee. Any help would be appreciated. :up:

sagib jutt,
you also need to set up the group permision under Manage Category. go to Admincp, Video Directory, Manage Category, Edit Category you want, and set up the permission.

i solve the problem if you use your menu for general settings, video detail settings and videotag settings showing a blank page

edit you file
forumroot/includes/xml/cpnav_videodirectory.xml
find

<link>options.php?do=options&amp;dogroup=videodirectory</link>
		</navoption>
		<navoption displayorder="30">
			<phrase>modify_videodetail_settings</phrase>
			<link>options.php?do=options&amp;dogroup=videodirectorydetails</link>
		</navoption>
		<navoption displayorder="30">
			<phrase>modify_videotag_settings</phrase>
			<link>options.php?do=options&amp;dogroup=videodirectorytags</link>

and remplase with

<link><![CDATA[options.php?do=options&amp;dogroup=videodirectory]]></link>
		</navoption>
		<navoption displayorder="30">
			<phrase>modify_videodetail_settings</phrase>
			<link><![CDATA[options.php?do=options&amp;dogroup=videodirectorydetails]]></link>
		</navoption>
		<navoption displayorder="30">
			<phrase>modify_videotag_settings</phrase>
			<link><![CDATA[options.php?do=options&amp;dogroup=videodirectorytags]]></link>

that will fix the "&" not showing
