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/

I do not await a reply, tried by myself. Initially, I renamed the tables gb_cache and gb_media. Nothing happened, the forum works fine. Then I just created new tables gb_cache and gb_media, using queries from the file product-goldbrick.xml, and renamed the old tables removed. I understand that when installed option Zend cache these tables are not used. Forum works fine -- quickly, without delay. Well this information would be added to the first message describing Goldbrick.

Is there any way to "hide" this variable?

so24437.addVariable("file","http://www.myforum.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=24437.mp3");

Users can't download the mp3 (they can only listen to it), but when they view the page source code and copy / paste this url, they can download the mp3

I tried 1.91 and my header is messed.

On a thread with media inside it I see the following at the top of the page.

On every page I see just

'";'); } if ($vbulletin->options['gb_enabled']) { eval('$headinclude .= "' . fetch_template('goldbrick_header') . '";'); }
