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/

I'll add something that checks to see which one you have and then use it. So you still can have the function of titles and yahoo etc.

Thanks brother....patiently awaiting new upload.

Updated

3.0.9.5
- Added check for curl or fopen for titles, yahoo, dailymotion and break. Curl is the default.

This update isn't required if you are not having problems with titles and those video sites that require curl or fopen.

[smoknz28]

Nix, with the 3.0.9.5....the YouTube videos are working.

Thanks

I'm going to break a record, I update this hack 3 times at day LOL


Ah, did you see this? I FOUND Anymedia 3.1

[Tanabe]

Hummm I install this hack twice making sure I did the templates right and uploaded everything to the correct places but I still keep getting

Error: unsupported media type.

I tried using Youtube and Dailymotion.

[nix]

What link are you using for youtube? Is it enabled? Is the global video sites setting enabled?

[Tanabe]

I left this option on yes

Enable Video Sites Globally

I just picked a random Youtube code

<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/K9hsIu6jPIg"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/K9hsIu6jPIg" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>

And used the Media tags around it and this is what I get

[halcyoncmdr]

It is the url that goes in the media tag, not the embed code.

[nix]

Yea you would just use something like this.
