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/

- MP3s work as attachments now. You have to move your attachment system to file system.
- Added it.yotube and uk.youtube
- Change some of the default settings


To have mp3 attachments play you have to move your attachments from the database to the file system for now. This is the better way of doing it anyway.

Thanks for the update, Nix! Unfortunately, I don't understand what you mean by moving MP3 attachments from the database to file system. Can you please explain it to me? It would really help a lot.:erm:

Its in the adminCP on the left hand side.

Attachments -> Attachment Storage Type

Np. You'll have to put the path to them there and chmod the folder to 777.
