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/

Hi nix,

videos like FLV or AVI are working as attachments but images doesn't work. They show me as a normal image/attachment without highslide.

Did you know about this problem?

Turn off the display thumbnail for the attachment extension you're trying.

I've read the upgrade directions, but before I begin I have a couple of questions.

do I need to remove the template edits I made for anymedia?

do I need to uninstall anymedia in the plugins section?

how does goldbrick handle all of the old posts that used anymedia?

thanks for your time and hard work on this amazing mod.

[AWJunkies]

Yeah I need your any media 3.4 or something so I can go back and delete all the manual edits I had to do WAY back then. There is still some random that I see and delete but I need to make sure it is completely gone before going to this.

I have the anymedia install directions but I just noticed that there are big chunks of the edits missing when I open the file in html.
