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:
Quote:
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:
Quote:
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.

I am running PHP5 and vb3.7 Gold and I can't get this mod to work at all. Should I just wait until the 3.7 version is ready? What is happening is simply nothing LOL Regardless of what video file I use, it just shows up as an attachment link no inline video.
Hi Nix, I just tried installing the 1.8, and when I tried to import the product, i got an error message saying that I needed at least version 5 PHP. so I checked my webhost, and they are showing verision 5.2.5, BUT in my admincp>maintenance>view php info, it is showing version 4.4.8.
Is that normal? I thought the PHP would be dictated by the server that my forum is running on. Is there a way to update the board so it matches my webhost?
info.php is correct. Your host says its using php 5 but it isn't. I've seen host saying they are using it but they are really just planing on moving to it at some point.

Did you set up the usergroup permissions and forum permissions? This hack works for 3.7 and i'm just fixing some small bug.
You can post the link that is not working for you also.
Hi Nix, you were right, I called my host, and now I'm up to php 5.2.5 for real. So I got goldbrick 1.8 installed. In the gold brick settings, I changed the images sizes to 640x490 and posted this link:
when it posted, I got the big M icon with the play button. I click it and get a player window overlayed on my browser with the quicktime logo and a question mark.

If I didn't add a thumbnail for a certain site it means that the site makes it impossible to figure out what it would be unless they have changed how they do things.

Nix, all the video sites are shown as thumbnail but with YouTube, you can see the image of the video showing up. All others, the thumbnail only show the image "M". Hope you understand what I am trying to say.
After overrode the hack, I had to edit every single posts so that they wouldn't show media tag. Also, the highslide for image thumbnail is gone.
How do I remove the title hyperlink right underneath of the "M" image?
Also, when viewing the thumbnail image, the bottom show "Test Only"?
