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 take a look at it.

Its similar with stage 6 but stage 6 works on my boards and this one doesn't If its not added could you please add it? because its 100 times better than stage 6 will ever be. I'll post the links of the site below.


actualy website http://joox.net/
URL of a movie http://joox.net/cat/2/id/2182124

My website http://www.koomid.com

All those videos are on stage6.com. They don't host them.

[ajm4481]

imo thats the lamest excuse i've ever heard.... Have you ever tried to search for a video on stage6? its nearly impossible to find anything you are looking for. My suggestion for joox.net is valid and you would have to be completely senial to not add them

[SpreadingLight]

How to resolve this:

Check to enable media file types.
An error occured while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:

Goldbrick is set up so you can add your own sites. My point was that site will work now, just copy the download link and post that.

There is no excuse. That site doesn't host any vidoes.

how can i get a button that my membrs can hit so the media tags pop up, sorta link the image or link button. as of now they have to manually type in the [media] tags.. i would like for them to just be able to hit a button, or is it possible for goldbrick to automatically detect a youtube or video link and media tag it automatically??

for example i make a post and put www.youtube.com/video/54325rt4

and when i hit post it will automatically wrap it in the media tags..

dont kno if i am explaining it right but any way that can happen and/or a feature to have a button for the tags??

No media tags are needed. You just post the link. So youtube would be this.
