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 was just curious if you had a chance to check out http://www.nothingtoxic.com to see if it would be something you could add?

I would definitely like to request that to be added.

Thanks.

I already have it in 3.1. I just have one small bug to work out before I release it. Still coding the backend of it and the stand alone part but otherwise it's ready for release.

I am guessing this does not work on 3.6.8. I can't even get the button to show for it. I have done and redone all template edits. Made sure all files are uploaded, and imported the product file. When I manually enter the media bbcode it does not show a video only:

[MEDIA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3uLBKGYtIU[/MEDIA]

It works on 3.8. did you check your usergroups settings?

[Smooth Adam]

Is it possible to get the videos to work on the frontpage of a vbAdvanced Site? I have mine to set to automatically collapse and I can't get them to open.

Yes I made sure the usergroup settings were correct and made sure in the options that it was on. Still nothing.

This is my usergroup setting:
Help AnyMedia BBCode Permissions
Can Use AnyMedia BBCode Yes
Show Download Link Yes

And options setting:
AnyMedia BBCode Enabled
Setting this option to 'No' will disable the whole AnyMedia BBCode System. Yes
BBCode Tag Name
Set the tag name for the BBcode. Video
AnyMedia Player Title
It will display on header of the player box. USMC Hangout
Show the download link?
Setting this option to 'Yes' will directly show the download link.
Whether a member could see the download link is also restriced by the usergroup permission.
Note: If you choose 'No', user could also get the url by viewing the source code. Yes
Use flash mp3 player?
Use the flash player to play a mp3 file?
Note: If you choose 'No', it will be played with the WMP.
The Single Mp3 Player is Powered By jeroenwijering.com. Yes
Autostart?
Setting this option to 'yes' will autoplay the media when it's loading.
Note: If you choose 'No', user could also make it autoplay by adding an option to the bbcode. No

All other questions are set to yes
