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/

Installed but my threads are just throwing up blank pages? Usually a vbseo problem.

Using 3.7.1 and vbseo 3.1.

Any ideas?

I am using the 1.8 version on 3.7Gold and the only media I can get working with this mod is flv under 8m.

How do I get this work for .wmv, real player and quicktime and to not have the security token error on files larger than 8m? Thanks in advance.

The file limit is set by your host, doesn't have anything to do with this mod.

I got the answer about the Blue M, thanks.

How come sometimes an uploaded jpg image does the highslide and lightbox thing, other times it does not lightbox but just highslides?

I'm on 1.8 now. fully un-installed and re-installed.

it works BUT
media still isn't stripped from quotes

new bug, using the old style, the + & - which adjust the size of the video aren't working. it just brings you to the top

[Mutt]

I reverted back to 1.5 because for me it was working better. fixed the no stip in quote bug. all the options variables were wrong

Goldbrick: Filter Goldbrick BBCode in Quote Tags Part 1 & 2

should be

		if($vbulletin->options['gb_enabled'] && $vbulletin->options['gb_filter_quote']) {
			$pagetext = preg_replace('#\[(/?)' . $vbulletin->options['gbtag'] . '.*\]#siU', '[\1url]', $pagetext);
		}

this fixed it. It's possible that's all that's needed for 1.8 too but I didn't test it

[Mutt]

I made a redtube.com plugin. is it ok to share here?

[Mutt]

sorry, thought my code is working better, it's not stripping the code correctly. boht [ media ] & [/ media ] are being converted to [ url ] . I'm playing with it

[Mutt]

changing it to this stripped out the media tags and properly added the url tags BUT once you submit the post with the quote, goldbrick_process_post converts the url tags back to media tags. I give up for now.

if($vbulletin->options['gb_enabled'] && $vbulletin->options['gb_filter_quote']) {
$pagetext = preg_replace("/\[media\](.+?)\[\/media\]/i","\\1",$pagetext);
		}

[BlackxRam]

I am getting

PHP Code:

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in /blogs/plugins/usercp_nav_start.php on line 7 


ect ect ect

When I click Profile Video in the Control Panel.

Did i miss a fix for this? I just downloaded the newest version..

Why is it going to /blogs?
