Video-Directory Remixed · **Released**: 01-05-2009

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:

Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
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:

Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
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.

If you have lost video thumbnails try this patch for 1.3.0.
Edit class_dm_video.php

PHP Code:


			
    function pre_save($doquery = true)
    {
        $this->thumbnail_save();

    function thumbnail_save()
    {
        require_once(DIR . '/includes/videoserviceapi/class_' . strtolower($this->fetch_field('videoservice')) . '.php');
        $classname = "vB_VideoSharingService_".$this->fetch_field('videoservice');

        $obj =& new $classname($this->registry);
        if ($obj->verify_service($this->fetch_field('videourl')))
        {
            if ($obj->prepare_data())
            {
                if ($obj->fetch_thumbnailpath())
                {
                    $obj->file_save_thumbnail();
                }
            }
        }

    }

Edit & save each video with lost thumbnail.

There is a problem...after the installation if i give an url..it says invalid url

blind-eddie · #**1774** 12-05-2013, 04:26 AM

looks like youtube switched it up again.. at one point we had to use the URL from the Share button for vids to show... now you have to use the full URL from the address bar.

Hi Guys, I recently had to move to a new server that only runs PHP 5.3.8, so I had to upgrade by VBulletin so it would be compatible.

The video-directory is appearing but with some errors. I think related to the header, so it's also not dropping cookies, I believe.

These are the errors:

Could this be related to the fact I am not yet running the DNS for my domain name on the new server? I have instead changed the locahost file on my machine during testing.

Thanks

Open your init.php file with an editor like notepad++, (make a backup of it first), then go to all of those line numbers in your message above and look for this "=&" and delete just the "&" on all of those lines, then save and re-upload the file.

Thanks. Do you know why this happens?

Anyway, I made the change to the first line 55 to see if it would skip over that error. It ended up skipping all of them and showing this new one. Nothing is working now.

Quote:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_LNUMBER in /home/snow07/public_html/forum/includes/init.php on line 12

So I actually went back and uploaded the backup file just to see if would go back to original errors. No, it now skips all errors and just keeps showing the one above.

But line 12 is blank as you can see below. Not sure what to do?

Please help.

Not sure what that error means, sorry, when I changed all of the "=&" in my file it solved my problem for me, it's been working fine ever since.

Seems to have been the stupid BBedit, which in general is a great editor.
Thanks

Anyone have better instructions then this?
