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/

Awesome Awesome mod, first I couldn't make it work on my vbseo board, but with the solution in post# 66 its working brilliantly.
Nominated for MOTM, cheers.

hi there nix,

your mod looks most excellent and i appreciate the work you've put into it. my question: my vb database is mysql 4.1 so i'm wondering: will your mod run under 4.1 or do i have to upgrade to mysql 5? i'm not mysql proficient so i'd rather not start messing with the db unless i have to.

thanks - a number of users would really like me to install this baby :-)

jswiss you don't need mysql 5 but you will need php 5,though I highly doubt that you will have php 5 with that version of mysql.

Attachments are not playing with goldbrick,
I have Auto-Detect* and Use* both enabled in admiccp and attachments are in filesystem.
I have vbseo on my board.

That's because I forgot to add something for attachments

I should have an update today or tomorrow with some fixes and docs.
