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/

this is the inline picture bbcode I found to work with my old mod, is something like this possible for goldbrick, I really need to get the IMG tags working properly with highslide on my forum.

<a href="{param}" class="highslide" onclick="return hs.expand(this,{slideshowGroup:'$post[postid]'})" target="_blank"><img src="{param}" width="100"></a>

I don't have it picking up IMG tags yet. Just if you post the image link.

Hi nix,
I love your mod but I've three questions.

1. On Internet Explorer it give me an error at 442 line and when I close the video.. the popup windows will close but the audio will continue to reproducing. (you can try yourself here: http://www.czeta.it/forum/video/2079...-pazzesco.html)
With Firefox I have no problem.

2. It's possible to remove the black background around the video? Some users say me that their computer go slow for this.

3. I see that when I click wherever outside the video it will close the popup window.. it's possible to remove this option?

Thanks and sorry for my english.
Ska

Those are all relating to the highslide.js file. The black background can be turned off in the highslide.js file. The other issues I have no control over.

[AWJunkies]

What html are you referring to to change how images show up? I am looking though the files and don't see it. OK it is in your XML file see it now.

Also did you look at the mod that broke your mod. Well not really but the mod that uses ajax to view first post in a thread on forum view.

Thanks anyway,

Yep correct what he said!

Anyone getting issues with quickedit? If I add images it does not add media it adds URL? Is there not support for quickedit?

[AWJunkies]

Also any support for this mod to work in CYB- Chatbox or event forum mod

I got the images to be next to each other a sample of this is here:

http://www.allwheeljunkies.com/showt...t=24455&page=2

Now my only issue is I want people to be able to start viewing images before they are all done loading. I am looking through to see if there is a setting for this in the js files.

I need to make sure how I did it was ok so please check this over I don't want it to mess with other functions.

I went to gb_header template and changed this:

.gbmedia img, .anymattach img {
background:#fff;
border:1px solid #aaa;
color:inherit;
float:left;
margin:10px 10px 10px 5px;
padding:2px;
vertical-align:top;
width:130px;
}

To this:

.gbmedia img, .anymattach img {
background:#fff;
color:inherit;
float:none;
margin:5px 0px 5px 5px;
padding:2px;
vertical-align:top;
width:120px;
height:90px;
}

I removed the float left cause it was causing the first image to be by itself off to the left top corner while the rest of the images where in line with correct spacing. I changed the spacing a little to accommodate = spacing around all pictures. Got rid of the border because there was no type of roll over thing to let you know which picture you where on. So if you get rid of the border you will have a roll over effect with default Vbulletin a href color (mine in this case was blue). I also set a height setting so all pictures where same size and flowed together.

Then I went to gb_player template and changed this at the top:

<div id="vid-$info[unique]" class="gbmedia">

To:

<span id="vid-$info[unique]" class="gbmedia">

And at bottom changed this:

</div>
<div class="gbclear"></div>

To:

</span>
<span class="gbclear"></span>

This made it so it didn't treat each picture as a separate entity by using div.

Well it works let me know if this can damage the program in any way using span instead of div etc.
