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/

[QUOTE=blogcrash;1575367]When i try to have a profile video i have this message:

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

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

And i'm the administrator.
Everything is set up in usergroups so people can post profile videos [/QUOTE
A couple of pages pack you'll find version 1.91, it will fix this problem.

Hi,
Please can you advise but its not clear how to integrate this with VBAdvanced. I have just had VBAdvacned installed on my VB3.72 board....there is no plugin or module to do this?

Thank You

[thecricketzone]

Also this doesnt seem to work with anything but SWF files?!

[neto614]

how do i get avi files to work on my forum . only thing is working is music but no video .. please let me know how to do this ....

thank you ...

[CtrlAltDel]

Is there a way that I can have it not pull the video title/name when I post a link to say like YouTube?

[biocyberman]

Installed. things seem to be doing fine. But I can't get highslide popup. When clicking on thumbnail, it just open new tab in firefox and open media in that tab. I checked chmod for .js and swf files and set them to 755. But no difference

[biocyberman]

I did fixed it. Sorry. May be I didn't chmod correctly. Chmod whole goldbrick folder to 755 did the trick.

Got something weird happening.

Installed and running 1.91 for awhile now and today was just looking at everything in the plugin manager and looking at the Goldbrick Product section I have a lot of plugins that have lines through the titles and set as not active. These are the ones lined out and set as inactive:

bbcode prase.php,
goldbrick edit update process
goldbrick Filter Goldbrick BBCode in quote tags part 1
goldbrick Filter Goldbrick BBCode in quote tags part 2
Goldbrick Process blog Entry
Goldbrick Show Thread Query

Any ideas why these would be inactive? Could another hack be causing this? Or are they set this way from the last update of 1.8, after upgrading from 1.5 to 1.8 there was only one that was set as inactive - goldbrick edit update process.
