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

That's Right, Jaxel, I didn't Updated them before, that was my Error.

Now that I Updated the Video-Hoster Files is Working Better (I didn't Noticed that those are the ones on the includes/xml Folder that you Provided with the Product ).

But there's a Small Error on the YouTube and YouTubeHD Video Hoster Files (Perhaps in one of your Edits of the File ):

On videohoster-YouTube

	function fetch_videobbcode($vid, $videoid = '', $videotitle = '')
	{
		$videoid = $videoid ? $videoid : $this->video_id;
		$videotitle = $videotitle ? $videotitle : $this->video_title;

		if ($this->registry->options['videodirectory_bbcode'])
		{
			return '[video=' . $videotitle . ']' . $vid . '[/video]';
		}
		else
		{
			return '[' . $this->hostername . '=' . $videotitle . ']' . $videoid . '[/' . $this->hostername . ']';
		}
	}

They're Inverted; it should be:

	function fetch_videobbcode($vid, $videoid = '', $videotitle = '')
	{
		$videoid = $videoid ? $videoid : $this->video_id;
		$videotitle = $videotitle ? $videotitle : $this->video_title;

		if ($this->registry->options['videodirectory_bbcode'])
		{
			return '[' . $this->hostername . '=' . $videotitle . ']' . $videoid . '[/' . $this->hostername . ']';
		}
		else
		{
			return '[video=' . $videotitle . ']' . $vid . '[/video]';
		}
	}

and on videohoster-YouTubeHD it should be:

	function fetch_videobbcode($vid, $videoid = '', $videotitle = '')
	{
		$videoid = $videoid ? $videoid : $this->video_id;
		$videotitle = $videotitle ? $videotitle : $this->video_title;

		if ($this->registry->options['videodirectory_bbcode'])
		{
			return '[' . $this->hostername . '=' . $videotitle . ']' . $videoid . '[/' . $this->hostername . ']';
		}
		else
		{
			return '[video=' . $videotitle . ']' . $vid . '[/video]';
		}
	}

Otherwise it'll return the Video Tag instead of the YouTube and YouTubeHD Tag if you've selected to Display Tags on the Video Option.

That Error is in the Other Video Hosters, you should do the inversion of the Codes there too.

My Best Regards.

It seems like The USers who uploaded the videos are not listed anymore and also the front page doesnt display any videos?

Only when u click on the Categories you see them? DId i do something wrong?

FIXED DIDNT SET LIMITS!!!

[Jaxel]

@incario... you are confused... there is nothing wrong with the code.

Enabling Video BB Codes enables the [Video=] tags... Disabling the Video BB Codes, reverts it to the [HosterName=] tags. They are setup correctly for that as this is by design.

If anyone is interested, someone made the .xml file for WeGame for me when I installed the older version. I have always stuck with VidDir for just this reason. This update is amazing and my users will love it.

I do have a question. Why are all the times listed as ??? now. And also, why did none of the tags from the previous version survive the update?

[ArnyVee]

nightbloom,

The reason is that Jaxel made it so that the 'length of time' on the videos show using this mod. So, since the information was not 'pulled' using Surviver's original version, you'll show the question marks.

I only had about 20 of them, so I just went into each video and edited the info in. But, I'm sure there's another way of doing it.

[nightbloom]

O.o I have a LOT of videos. lol I'll have to work on that a little at a time.

Installed 1.2.3 works great.

I have 1 problem, its cutting half my descriptions off.

Hi
How to creata new video hoster?

[klaush]

Great stuff! Thanks!

Could someone give me a hint with "sevenload"?

Seems like a very good addon. I am experiencing some bugs though.
In the Admin CP i am unable to view the General Settings, the Video Detail Settings and the Video Tag Settings. It just shows a blank page in the right frame.
