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/

So we have to uninstall the AnyMedia and put that in or just overwrite like an upgrade?

Uninstalling anymedia 3x left this in the usergroup manager area. How do I fix this?

I would. This has been completely rewritten and the files have changed. You can delete everything related to anymedia and then upload this.

Same thing as your post above. Just install the xml again.

If you look in goldbrick/includes/sites you'll see the site files. You just have to mimic how their down. You'll need regex knowledge though.

Cool, downloaded. AnyMedia was great so I hope goldbrick is even better. Thanks for the release!

[vuiveclub]

Does this new version work with vBblog???

[Hornstar]

Anyone tested this on vb 3.7 beta 2 yet?

Hey nix, nice hack! but i am concerned about the queries this mod put, cause my site hits max queries most of the time causing it db error. Is this hack heavy ? I mean in queries wise ?
