Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

Thanks to all who nominated or voted this for MOTM.

Some of you might be looking for Anymedia. Well this has replaced it. It's a total rewrite from the ground up. A huge thanks goes to Sir Adrian for creating the framework. He can't cook soup but he sure can code.

Why the name goldbrck?

From Wikipedia:

Goldbricking, in today's terms, generally refers to staff who use their work internet access for personal reasons while maintaining the appearance of working.

From Urban Dictionary:

Goldbricking: To loaf or goof around on the job. Supposedly an old union term describing laborers (or more specifically, bricklayers) who were going so slow, it was as if each brick were made of solid gold. One can alse be referred to as a "goldbricker".

Dude, I spent all day at work goldbricking - surfing the web, making long distance phone calls - basically just picking my ass.

Goldbrick uses the following third party Products:

• Highslide Javascript. I've packaged it with the 3.1 download. Please read the license agreement on highlide's website. In short it's free for non-commercial use. http://vikjavev.no/highslide/
• - - -
• The media player and mp3 player are from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/

Ok. Can I get rid of the title?

Right now the only way would be to edit the template. I can make it a setting later.

For some reason this just isnt working for me.

vB 3.6.4, I believe everything is installed properly, when I insert a youtube link, it just shows:
[media]link[/media]

it doesnt show any players or anything.

Hi
I am a little confused with this fantastic Hack. I have currently installed 3.0.9.5 and it works great.

I see there is a 3.1 beta3 that I would like to install. There isn't an How to install file for this version that I can see and there is a mention of a "Do Not Upload" folder that is in the download but I can't find that.

I am probably a bit stupid but is there any instructions that I can use to upgrade my installation to the latest - thanks greatly for this hack

[nix]

Install / Upgrade Instructions for 3.1 Beta:
- Its recomended to uninstall the previous version of Anymedia
- Upload all files
- Import the product
- Goto user group permissions and click on any user group to rebuild permissions

So far I've only tried youtube and myspace and the myspace one didn't work, but I still love it even if only youtube worked lol. But since it is in beta I won't worry too much about as I've seen others already mentioned it.

Look forward to a final version.
