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 I was wondering is there anyway to make old bbcodes work with this hack or potentially another hack on here?

My old BB codes look like this:

[veoh]v6564070JPc6GzyS[/veoh]
[megavideo]23ed332[/veoh]
[myspacetv]3234df[/veoh]

Something like that basically is there anyway or any software that can either play those, convert them into your stuff, or allow the user's to see them?

Thanks.

I could probably add something like that. I'm just about to a point were i can take a break from some paid work and put an update out.

Hello, was interested in this mod so decided to implement it. Small problem when i tried to post
a thread.

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in [path]/goldbrick/includes/class_goldbrick.php on line 526

Followed by a vbulletin message

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/a2369965/public_html/forum/includes/class_core.php

Thanks in advance Nix.

Kind regards,
Ron

If you don't want to wait for a fix, just delete that line in class_goldbrick.php.

flickr now supports video, and video embedding. Here's a page with video:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/sallypn...takethepicture

and here are the embedding options: http://www.flickr.com/photo_embed.gn...ool-725977@N23

(I am currently using bbFlickr for the embedding images.)

Any chance Goldbrick can support flickr for video and/or images?

[gwerzal]

Yea I can do that. I didn't notice any embed code on that page. Do you have to be log in to see it?
