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 for your reply but still it seems that generally the goldbrick cannot apply on the Vba CMPS, it is always displayed as link only in contrary with the forumhome where everything is ok.
Do I have to modify something else like the adv_portal_newsbits_attach-thumb and or inline????
Or act anywhere else???

Thank you.

Ok, I had posted earlier and I tracked down one of my errors and disabled some old counter that seemed to be in the way.

php 5 and now am getting this error when I import the .xml

Warning: require(/goldbrick/plugins/global_setup_complete.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /global.php(971) : eval()'d code on line 1

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required '/home/********l/public_html/forum/goldbrick/plugins/global_setup_complete.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/*********/public_html/forum/global.php(971) : eval()'d code on line 1

**** are mine
Can't seem to find anyone else here with this error so I know it's a problem of mine.
Any advice?

thanks

[nix]

[texasasl]

Sorry again is there anyway somebody tell me how goldbrick is working on vbadvanced or is not working at all ????
Thank you in advance.

[:Judge:]

Didn't work for me, I added everything then like only half the site would show.

No errors just blank pages for the vBA Index, User Profiles and New Thread. Those pages that I noticed.

I turned GB off still same thing, I then uninstalled it from products now things are working again as for the site.

what issue is/could the XML causing?
