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/

i believe its done automatically and you have to set it in your admincp (under the goldbrick setting)

[christian8a]

well I think I found enough bugs, Little bugs though but cant install it like that.

Hey man this is good hack but please before you keep adding features to it, move on from betta version by:

Making the standard features strong
sometimes you have to hit refresh to see the video, sometimes doesnt show but the url...

The templates on the style manager are all spread, put them on one categorie
Goldbrick Templates >>
- sub....

That helps a ton to keep things in order

The install is great! very easy

I Will keep checking this hack

By the way MissKalunji thanx for your replies :up:
