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!

This would be a boost for an already excellent Add-on

Thanks

Just create a secondary usergroup, and restrict a category only to that group.

[Glynn58]

The only trouble with that idea is you can only have so many usergroups before you get boz-eyed and loose track with what the hell you doing

Great mod, just upgraded, but..

Having an issue with thumbnails in the new category, not showing and not saving but works in the old category.

anyone know a solution?

Great work, fully working and really happy with it! Thanks!
Just one question, how do I split the video directory page as seen on: http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php
So far I have just one big line for every video, I'd love to have them as on 8wayrun! Cheeers!

I have a problem. I get BLANK page when i open the link.
After a little debug i found the error on line 895 where:

PHP Code:

$announcement = $bbcode_parser->parse($vbulletin->options['videodirectory_announcement']); 


Ideas how to fix this?

Yes, thanks for that FINALLY. If you would have included that when not answering the first two times I could have saved a second search for the word divx on over 40+ pages when divx was never in the reply as 2-3 of us had already asked. Additionally, Please disregard the PM I sent you recently but tact is necessary as you come across ALL WRONG in some of your posts IMO

If anyone else would like a VIDEO HOSTING MOD which list an entire directories videos from your FTP and links to an pop-up player please PM me as mine will be done in the next few weeks, it's up and running now but I'm doing touch-ups and tweaks currently

Did you take your time? Jaxel's mod works flawlessly form what I saw, I just un-installed and it was working fine on a brand new 3.8 board. I suggest un-install then re-install but take your time and make sure everything is uploaded and you followed all his steps. He might have other advice as this is his mod but just a suggestion.

I have a serious problem with Video Directory which is not caused by script itself. After installation, i got below error and couldnt/cant run this hack.

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.2:

Invalid SQL:

			SELECT video.*, user.*, IF(video.ratingnum > 0, video.ratingtotal / video.ratingnum, 0) AS ratingavg, IF(NOT ISNULL(user.userid), user.username, video.username) AS username
			FROM video AS video
			LEFT JOIN user AS user ON(user.userid = video.userid)
			WHERE video.videocategoryid IN(0,1)
			ORDER BY dateline DESC
			LIMIT 6;

MySQL Error   : Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (latin5_turkish_ci,IMPLICIT) for operation 'if'
Error Number  : 1267

I did "ALTER DATABASE db_name CHARACTER SET latin5" through phpmyadmin but nothing changed.

Anyone can help ?
