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/

Excelente job! Thanks for credits me.

More one observation:

Can you please do not place the highslide.js to load if user choose the classic style:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://........../goldbrick/style/highslide.js"></script>

About the classic [media] tag and stop auto parse url it's because I don't want to place the flash player in one particular board section (that show news at index page).

If possible, tell me how to disable the auto-parse.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I can add a setting in for auto phrase urls. You can also turn off goldbrick in individual forums.

LOL I'm Banging my head on the table

I'm using the new style...

.......................................

Ooops! the product.xml still says 1.2

[nix]

either in the css which is in gb_header or the template itself is gb_player.

[testebr]

nix, flash player like swf animation is broken.

One test mine result this code:

<script type="text/javascript">
// ?<![CDATA[
var so02b34a3e = new SWFObject("/vb/players/mediaplayer.swf", "media_02b34a3e", "640", "480", "7", "#FFFFFF");
so02b34a3e.addVariable("file","http://www2.b3ta.com/i-love-you/iloveyou.swf");
so02b34a3e.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so02b34a3e.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so02b34a3e.write("vid-02b34a3e");
// ]]»
</script>

/vb/players/... this patch it's wrong I believe. And mediaplayer.swf to play swf animation? This is right?

Can you check it?

ah, and custom size in tag [media="width,height....."] (usefull for swf animation) work like in old versions? I can't confirm it because the above error that don't load any flash animation.

ps: here one list with more websites (regex at xml from ame plugin by users) for you add to supported list if you think it's good.

Thank you!
