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/

Hi Mr Nix...
Although I still don't understand where to center my player in the thread, can I have a customized-logolized flash player?

[nix]

You can do that with the flash player now.

[texasasl]

nix sorry I did not understand your reply above regarding the vbadvanced. In previous post you told that it was something you had to fix with that. As I have mentioned I am running php 5.2.x

[Meghwar]

Hi


I have php 5.x

1. I Upload the contents of the "upload" folder
2. Import the product_goldbrick.xml file
3. Set up Usergroup Permissions
4. Set up Forum Permissions
5. Set up Goldbrick Options

But the MSG bellow comes on my Forum !

So i had to disable the product and ask here for support.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/*****/forum/goldbrick/plugins/bbcode_create.php on line 53

A quick question.

I have already got passive vid plugin running and most of the video links are just urls as such. If I uninstall the passive vid plugin and install this mod, will the already linked videos show up?
