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/

Be patient, it will be updated when the developer says it is .

Nix! I just got finished reading like 40 pages, hundreds of posts and can't believe how many people have posted the bbcode error and how many times you have had to reply with "php 5".

Too bad they didn't read their way through or there wouldn't have been so many inquiries.

One person even offered money to have a fix for php 4! Your work is brilliant and this is a must have mod but a lot of us don't have the luxury of simply upgrading to php 5 or in my case, built and moded the site for a friend (free) and can't communicate with the host provider.

Even though I don't own the site I really want to install this one. I would be willing to donate something towards a php 4 fix for this mod!

If your will to do this for those of us that are willing to pay, how bout setting something up that would require payment first before allowing the download so you can pocket a little cash for all your efforts and make a whole boat load of people happy all at the same time.

It's a for sure fact that you'll get payed because I would be the first person in line!

Please let us all know.....

Thanks!

PHP 4 is dead. If you host wont move to php 5 I would find a new one.

[jalmz]

That's the reason why I want to change to this.

What about Videos in the Blog? Did this work in the Blogtools, too?

Any thoughts?

Just a quick search in this thread for your problem will show you this post. It worked for me just fine

[rapidphim]

Did anyone experience this or just me that if I post more than one video links, then only the first link converted into Goldbrick media. The rest of the links shown as url????

[ADomoWorld]

I found that same problem.. But I think i was just like had the URL formatted wrong.. Once I went back and put them everything was fun. VBulletin added the URL for some reason. Until I just did Media button first then the url.

As for another issue

Could someone share how to get GoldBrick to work on the VBA CMPS ?? In detail please.

[Mesohu]
