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/

LOL, it's like a movie... I'm getting piece of answers... hoping that every question pulls the final answer...

WHERE!?!?! I don't see the Options that you show in your 2 last screenshots
and how do I center the movie in the thread???

Promise that I wouldn't ask anything else if I get some clues

YEAH! Thank you, classic style working fine, excepting the custom size configured in admincp.

My new suggestion:

You can add small buttons to user increase/decrease size of flash player inline with limit max and minimum of course (avoid design break). This is too many easy to do with javascript, like the option that vbulletin use in message editor.

Other question:

How to disable the auto parse of links and back the classic [media] tag?

----------Update-------------

I just test resize option with one function default from vBulletin and work fine!

Try it:

<a href="#" onclick="return resize_textarea(1, 'gb_videosite')">Increase Size</a> <a href="#" onclick="return resize_textarea(-1, 'gb_videosite')">Decrease Size</a>

Nix need change gb_videosite to id of each flash instance and voilá! Work like an charm.

But sincerely I prefer that the defined standard sizes in the admincp work like in old version instead the mandatory size of php files at goldbrick/includes/sites folder.

Ok, forget what I said. The plugin is working very well.

This is what i get for test url

Site:
Warning: require_once(/goldbrick/includes/class_goldbrick_cache.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /goldbrick_test_url.php on line 27

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/mounted-storage/home74b/sub001/sc42715-ICIV/sstreaming.com/goldbrick/includes/class_goldbrick_cache.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php/') in /mounted-storage/home74b/sub001/sc42715-ICIV/sstreaming.com/goldbrick_test_url.php on line 27

Well if you would stick to one question....

The last two screen shots are when making a post or a new thread under where you attach a file.

You can still use the media tags like always. Though I don't see why you would only want it that way.

I'll add that code.

I have it were the size only works on non-video sits except stage6. With stage6 it pulls the video size from the embed code.

Download 1.2 again and make sure everything is uploaded. Then import the product-goldbrick.xml file and allow overwrite. That file its looking for isn't used anymore.

Hi Nix! I am having a question can't the font of these be the default of your custom skin , I mean why bold and big.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...5&d=1198017081
Because it changes the font of my whole skin. when you visit advance reply.

[nix]

That was from a custom skin I have. I forgot to take it out of the css for the mod. Its out now and I'll be releasing it in a sec.
