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/

I installed the latest version but don't like the small thumbnail and link so any one knows how can i go to old version?

In old version users stay on your site but in this one some user clicks on link then thumbnail and left the site.

I edited the template but the original player image is too big. I tried to shrink it but the template won't read the width code. I even made a smaller one and it stretches it to the original 130px width. A 40 x 31 would be perfect.

Any ideas?

when i press the preview post button... the media tags overtake it...it will become...

[media]http://www.vbulletin.org[/media]

and also if i post image now, it all becomes thumbnail size...or sometimes...they are inside the media player...
i guess i don't like this idea or the styles, or is there any possible solution for all of this not to happen...sorry for that bro...just my 2 cents...

so at the moment i just put back or install the old version..

Do you have another hack installed? Anymedia won't do that.

I have included a screenshot of what happens when I post that supplied link.

It just doesn't like it.

Yea I'll look into it. Thanks for the pic. What version of vb do you have?

If they have js disabled it will do that. I'll have a backup for users with js disabled in a new version.

You can change it in the anymedia.css.

First of all I have to congratulate you and thank you for keeping up with your code and answering pretty much every post with real patience. It is very commendable and rare.

I have downloaded and installed the mod, and have read every post but still cannot get it to work properly. Can you help please?

First, when I provide a link I get double tags.
Example;

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0PwkgjGjaHc

I have to edit my post and remove the excess tags, and after that, I get unsupported media.

I have set all file types as No in vBOptions and still the same problem.

I assume I am doing something wrong, but cannot figure out what.

Suggestions?

You can pm me details to your forum and I'll take a look.

I just tried it on your forum and it seems to be working fine. All I did was post a youtube link and hit reply. I didn't sue the M button. Thats only needed if you want to use custom options.
