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/

There has to be something more basic wrong. I added the contents of the gb_header template to the header in my sefault style. It behaves differently, but still doesnt work. See for yourself: http://www.majorleaguetalk.com/forum...ad.php?t=54332


The video starts to open then the browser goes to the video url.

There has to be something else wrong. I've done everything by the book and have spent several hours reading through this entire thread, and still don't have a clue.

Was adding the header info the way I did the right wat to do it?

OK, I just found out that the javascript in this addon doesn't play right with Mcafee Internet and Network stuff.... not a good sign for Mcafee users

I tried to import this. It said it was successful but now when I try to go to my Admin or any other page of the forum it is a blank white screen and nothing loads. What is the problem here? OrlandoUnited.com/forums Help!

[SledgeHead]

Please contact me ASAP with a solution. This isn't good. It totally crashed my forum.

[SledgeHead]

I don't have PHP5, don't know how to use PHP5, have no desire to. I just want to revert to how things were before I imported. What do I need to do? This sucks.

Why did you install this add-on if you didn't have PHP5? It says in the description that it requires PHP5.

This problem does not have anything to do with this addon, but I thought I'd post it here in case someone has seen this before. This problem only happens on one of my laptops (Dell Inspiron 9400/Windows XP/ IE 7.0.5730.13).

It only happens with IE and not Firefox and only on this computer. It works ok in IE on 2 other laptops.

In the attached screenshot, you can see that only the right half of the screen is dimmed. I've disabled the Mcafee stuff that was preventing the highslide js from working properly, so I don't think Mcafee is the problem. I'm sure it's because of some setting on this computer, maybe video related, but I have no idea what it may be.

Has anybody ever seen this before?
