New Posting Features - VB AnyMedia Player / Media Sites (youtube, google and many more)

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/

and that is the error when posting links to the videos without using the MEDIA tag

I get that same error when on the reply page and I click on the PREVIEW POST

I take it your server is using PHP 4. I put out a fix here in a sec.

Updated

3.1 Beta2

- Fixed some problems with php4
- Added Image support (hit the right arrow key when viewing multiple images for a treat) / PDF
- Added Godtube video site
- Added Libero.it video site
- Added ESPN Video Site

Edit: For images you can just post the link. If you use [IMG ] tags Vbulletin will handle the image. If you paste the link or use the media tags anymedia will handle the image.

i've made several requests, so i'm assuming at this point that nothingtoxic.com doesn't allow embedding?

[nix]

O yea, I looked into it and they don't have embeds. But what you can do and this worked just fine is just copy the download link they give you and post it. If you allow wm files it will play. But you have to allow all wm files for this. If you like that feature I guess I could still add them as a media site incase you don't want to allow just general posting of wm files.

How to disable auto parsing? Sorry, but I hate it.

Can you add a option in admincp to enabled/disable this option?

Why? because I want to show original link to website of video to the user like in old version of the script.

The actual link goes to swf player. Example youtube: http://www.youtube.com/v/ID_HERE

Thank you

I plan on adding the old style back into it. So you'll have a choice on how it looks.
