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/

Hmm i think you are right

Shame because it looked like this may have replaced two or more other mods to reduce image sizes and embed video.

I want to use it, but cant get any joy on my test setup

I think this mod will create a confliction with the image tag highslide resize

Yes i agree, but i installed on a totally new 3.7 test server and this is the only product and still no joy. Doesnt give me too much confidence to add it to my live site with other mods to increase the likelyhood of other conflicts

if you already have goldbrick Installed then don't upload 'highslide image resize' product.just do the file edit.

:-) I have the other way around. This mean, I will have to uninstall the highslide image resize and install Goldbrick, then do the php files edit for the image resize..... Can they just not be conflicted with each other?

Nix, any idea/suggestion/upgrade/update?

[unitedpunjab]

No need to do the php file edits, just unistall highslide image resize and install goldbrick.

[rapidphim]

but I do like the highslide bbcode image resize. is there a way around to have both install?

[unitedpunjab]

If you install Goldbrick and then edit class_bbcode.php as stated here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=172024 both the hacks will work.

ex. http://www.unp.co.in/f96/beautiful-compass-26756/

[rapidphim]

on that example, you or someone did remove the highslide of the image resize hack right? There is no highslide for the image.

I did edited the class_bbcode.php even though I have not yet installed the Goldbrick
