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/

Have you checked the usergroups permissions?



On a side note, some 3.1 info.

You can just post a link and hit reply and it will auto convert for you or you can use the M button like always.

Apples trailers added

Fixed stage6 so it uses the fade screen option that the plugin allows if you have this turned on.

And if you didn't noticed I changed the way its displayed in threads. You'll get a thumbnail and title that links to a player. See pic for more info (it look much better now though).

There is a stand alone page that will import any video posted in a forum and pull them all to one page where you can watch the video in a youtube like style. With comments etc.

So are people still using this?

Here is an apple trailer.

go in the anymedia options and change the size of the player.

Request that add option in forum manager so that any media can be turned off or on in specific forums.

In a few earlier versions of this mod I was able to go into admincp>forum manager and select whether or not I wanted to allow any media in a particular forum.

I do not see that option here. I see the manage user group options where I can control who posts media, how ever there is no control to where they can post.

If you could please put that option back in it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

i don't remember ever seeing that option and I didn't take it out. But I'll add it. Would you rather see it as an option in the forum manager for each forum or have it where you can put the forum id's in a field in anymedia options?

Thanks
