Major Additions - Goldbrick Audio/Video Media System

Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.7

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/

thanks!

I don't have a live 3.7 site but it's pretty much the same version as 3.6. It's installed on numerous 3.6 sites.

Need more info but chances are you're running php 4.

I'm adding that. I've changed some behind the sences code and fixed some other bugs I've noticed. I also have the classic style back for those who like it. I've also added profiles.

any ETA on the update ?

[jswiss]

ok

a couple of things:

this mod does not run under php4* so make sure you're running php5*

once i set it up under <php5 & vb37.3) it didn't work, but i'm making progress... (when i say it didn't work, the goldbrick links to, say, a youtube link didn't open as i thought they would, they just went to the actual youtube link)

so, i'm just gonna say i think this is an excellent mod and has great potential and i do appreciate that both vb37 and the goldbrick mod are in a 'test-phase' so, thanks to one and all for terrific ideas and continued development!

installed... (uninstalled), but 'll try again tomorrow
