Major Additions - Video-Directory Remixed

This mod has been rewritten for vB4x here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240677

This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.

What is this mod?

This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.

Basic Feature Listing:

• Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
• Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
• Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
• Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
• Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
• Category profiles for videos.
• Contribution profiles for users.
• Keyword profiles for tag cloud.
• Built in comment system for videos.
• Search function for titles and descriptions.
• RSS feed of videos.

Product Demo:

http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php

Installation Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
5. Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.

NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.

Upgrade Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
5. Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
   • You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.

NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.

Roadmap for the Future:

• Moderation
• Favorites
• Playlists

Don't forget to click INSTALL!

Hi,
Will this work with Vb 4?

Thanks

[mhackl]

I wouldn't use anything that's not actually released for VB4 on it, but this one surely will. Just a matter of how long.

Finally got it to work. Had to reload the entire thing following the upgrade instructions and had to import the hosters xml files. Now it works.

Here are the problems I am having now:

1) The comments I add do not show up at all or show up maybe 1 out of 10 times. Any ideas?

2) When the comments do show up, when I try to delete them they don't delete. (tried it 5 times already and no go)

3) Also, does anyone know how the RSS Feed option work? It is turned on in AdminCP but I don't know where to go to get it to work.

4) Using vBandvanced - navbar/quicklink/community link to the video.php is not working. Should be "mydomain.com/forums/video.php" but links point to "mydomain.com/video.php

I'm only on page 35 of all the posts so hopefully I will find answers in there. But if anyone know please post a reply to the above.

____________________________________
EDIT: Fixed the following:

5) And one last thing, how the heck do I get the "Recently Added Videos", "Top Related Videos", and "Most Popular Videos" to show up on the main video page like this: http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php

It's absolutely perfect , easy installation and everything went right thank you so much , but i have one question and it's very necessary for me , i uploaded Google video hoster and it's working but the button for fullscreen disappears... what can i do , i installed it only for google videos and without full screen is useless cause the size of the video is so small

Also how can i add video categories ( i read almost all previous posts twice icouldn't find the answer)

oh and i am getting this message but the video is ready after:

Warning: fopen([path]/videothumbnails/google/-6037616590630357053.jpg) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/includes/videoserviceapi/class_google.php on line 90

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in [path]/includes/videoserviceapi/class_google.php on line 92

I tried deleting all of the uploaded files and uninstalling the product. I then attempted to re-upload and reinstall. This only served to wipe out all of my videos, but this problem still persists.

I can't afford to upgrade to te VB4 license... so I won't be rewriting this script for VB4... I use this script on my own website, so if I ever do upgrade to VB4, then I will update it. But for now, it will remain for VB3.

If each of the 645 people that have this installed were to give Jaxel 21 cents, that would give him enough to upgrade his site to vB 4.0 and rewrite this mod. What do you think guys and gals?

Thanks, but the cost isn't the only thing barring me from upgrading to VB4.0... There are several mods I NEED to have, and if they aren't available in 4.0, then the upgrade is worthless.

Evercraft's Event Forums (or something like it)
Farcaster's Event Attendance (RSVP system)
Then of course a system to integrate them together
