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/

Then look on the left hand side of your admincp. You'll see attachments. Look for

Attachment Storage Type. Create a folder in your forum directory and put the path in there. Select move from database to file system.

Make sure you do the template edit.

Then you just make a normal post and attach the media like you normaly do with other attachments. You don't need to do anything with the M button.

Right we are moving- i think? have had the server extend my php file size upload as it was capped at 2mb to 50mb wich i can now extend my self, I have no idea where to do the template edit, where might this be? and what do i need to change? and what shall I call the file path, I cant believe the person that installed this for me- want a job dooing- do it yer self lol, your help greatly appreciated.

Thank you Nix! It now works perfectly and my membership is extremely happy.

I love it when a hack is actually supported.

download the install anymedia text file. If you can see the M button the guy who installed it for you probably already did it.

In next release can you dont load all .js files (highslide.js etc..) if user selected classic skin?
