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 want to update so it would be great if this mod works with vB 3.8.0
10x

[seanadl]

When i upgrade to this newer version, old posts across my forum with embedded video's no longer play. New youtube video's and such will play, but old ones will not. Do i need to rebuild my post cache or something?

[seanadl]

I am getting the "media" tags around all the old video's on my forum, rather than the video's themselves.

Goldbrick is only working on new posts...

Or people should stop trying to use a 3.7 modification for a 3.8 forum, or whatever.

Does the code work? Absolutely. I've seen it work, and I've gotten it to work myself, so it definitely DOES work.

Will it be buggy? Hey, that's what "beta" software is all about. Give the developer a chance to fix things.

Remember, people, these guys aren't paid a dime to release their code. Sometimes development will be slow. Since it works (at least on 3.7), there's no reason to put it in the graveyard.

I've seen that, but if you click 'refresh', 99% of the time it posts the media properly. I agree, although Goldbrick can be a bit 'glitchy', hey, it's free and for the most part it works wonderfully. I appreciate the work that went into it.

It used to when it was Anymedia. Alternatively there is one modification for 3.6.x versions based on Anymedia's code, here.

That's a problem when you installed it first on a 3.7 or even 3.6 version and you have upgraded to a 3.8 version.

But you are right. Some people just ignore the time that it takes to answer users' questions and that modifications are offered by independent developers at no cost and no profit.

I thought I'd take a look at this and it has one very nasty feature not mentioned anywhere. If someone posts a youtube video on your site this product sets a PORN COOKIE in the header of the page with the youtube video and it disables warning messages.

If you have already installed this product look in your "goldbrick/includes/sites/youtube.php" file for example and REMOVE THE FOLLOWING ASAP (else Google will take notice and hurt your site rankings... and thats IF your host provider doesn't take offense first and ban your site)

'header'    => 'Set-Cookie: 18plus=1; expires=Wed, 25-Oct-2017 02:49:15 GMT; path=/; domain=.megarotic.com',
    'activeregex' => array('#\<div class\="errorBox"\>#i' => false)

megarotic.com is a PORN site and this plugin sets a cookie on user computers who visit your website that won't expire until 2017.

You've been warned, check your files asap.

Anyone confirm this...?

is really Warming...
