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/

Don't need to use BBCODE

How does this work? I didn't see this feature anywhere in the options. All I found was that I had the "media" BBCode tag and had the ability to change it to whatever I wanted....

A couple of other questions.

Can I remove some of the video options? If so, how? I don't want any porn videos showing up on my site.

If I have a member that hosts some of her own videos on her server and would like to use them on my forums, how would I go about doing this?

thanks in advance

If I want to buy a commerical license, are there any changes that need to be added to your mod?

Edited to add:

I am running 3.7. RC4 with PHP 525 and when I turn on GoldBrick --- any topic with related media will not open --- it times out.

This occurs on images, .wmv, .swf etc.

The only way to get the topic to open is to disable Goldbrick.

Any ideas on what is causing this?

Thanks in advance.

What is a commercial website?
A commercial website is a website which purpose is generating revenue or cash flow of any type, and that isn't under a non-profit organization. So if you're selling a product, selling advertisement, selling a service or just marketing a commercial business, your site is commercial. A company website is also commercial even if it doesn't sell anything, as it's purpose is to front a commercial company.

I really love hightslide but i think that every board is violating the copyrights.
I'm want to use but i dont know if it's right...

Anyone any ideas why a fresh RC4 install on a PHP5 setup with this product installed as the only mod would just give text links and no recognition?

[sweeps78]

I'm having a problem with one of the thumbnail images not showing up. The video uses the DivX player.

Real dumb question.....

Where do I upload the upload folder too? root?

[rapidphim]

Nix,
When I post a media link in the user profile, I received this error msg

Your submission could not be processed because a security token was missing or mismatched.

If this occurred unexpectedly, please inform the administrator and describe the action you performed before you received this error.

Can this be fixed?

[sweeps78]

Where do I upload the upload folder too?

You need to look inside the upload folder and upload those folders to your root.


rapidphim:

Do you have the latest goldbrick audio/video media system installed? It sounds like you do not, because vBulletin 3.7 beta 4 and higher added a new security token to their system. The newest goldbrick has this fix to include the security token.

where did you get the newest/latest goldbrick product? I downloaded the file in the very first thread.
