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!

As for "video is no longer available"; that has nothing to do with this mod, it has to do with Youtube sucking.

ah, ok. thanks

Hi Jaxel,

I've done the install, however I cannot see the video manager in the AdminCP, therefore I am not able to update categories.

Any idea what I have missed during the install. I followed the directions from start to finish twice.

Thanks,

C.

Jaxel,

I can now see the AdminCP.

Not so sure about that, the vid works every time on the YouTube site but the modification gives only on certain vids the "video is no longer available" error. When these vid's is used with a bbcode link on another site it works perfectly.

Thanks,

hi jaxel,

the Video Directory Remixed was working perfectly

but until just today, i noticed that when i put in the youtube url and then press load information, it takes about 10 seconds to actually load the information where normally, it's in a blink of an eye

i have tried upgrading to the 18th march version but the problem still persists

i registered and tried to load on your site (http://www.8wayrun.com) and it was really fast compared to mine

what could this mean? is there like some cache i have to clear or any bits i need to rebuild?

Thanks!
Tom

Still need a answer to the DivX question & about hosting video's from my own site. Will this program work with DivX format & can the host be my FTP/site?

I've read through the entire thread & found no mention of it. If there it has been answered somewhere, could you please post a link to where it has been addressed.

Thank you for your time & assistance.
