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/

Well I set to NO the last Option: Disable the Goldbrick Media in Quote Tags
it seems to clash with Zoint tags I guess

sorry about that. Re-download the zip file and just upload the contents of the upload folder. No need to import the xml file.

Redownloaded and it works now.still wonder why it only works sometimes in G.A.R.S. when it works we have to edit the post but we do nothing just click edit post and then save it and it works for awhile.then it stops displaying the mp3 player and video.yes we set the goldbrick options in the thread.nice mod though

[Nephalim]

Oh no!i take that back.now nothing works!even the old media that was on the site does not show.what happened?

[Nephalim]

this is too weird.one minute we cant see it.then once again we click edit button and save then it shows again

[nix]

i would have to look at the site. i don't have gars.

[Jenkins]

mine does that sometimes it's like it doesn't parse the tags until you edit the post or quote the post.

I tried this on my test forum. However, there seems to be a problem with arabic characters. I tried a youtube linke with an arabic title but it doesnt display the correct characters. Any idea what might cause this?

everything else seems to be working ok.
