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/

if you open up goldbrick/includes/sites/stage6.php

You'll see this line.

'increase_size' => '5'

That's where it comes from. Stage 6 needed some padding.

Having installed this module and set up the various permissions I try and go back to the Forum from the ADP and I get this error message:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /homepages/18/d121175559/htdocs/vBulletin/goldbrick/plugins/bbcode_create.php on line 53

Any idea why this is

Thanks

Some sites don't have thumbnails. Can't remember if they are one of them.

I'm switching to a new way to handle the embedding so most of these problems will be fixed.

Nix,

What happened to the editor button? It's not in your vb3.6 release anymore and it'd be a great addition (again). I could set it up manually in the AdminCP, but I wouldn't know what HTML code to use..

Cheers

[nix]

its not needed anymore. Now you just post a link and Goldbrick does the rest.
