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/

If you know how to edit plugins, change the newpost_proceses execute order to 4.

Just explain what is each option and list all alternatives.

And I wait anxiously the classic style, without this I cannot use the mod. I really dont like that new style.

I'm writing some Docs right now. Is there any site you would like for me to demonstrate this on or will just any old site work?

I also have the classic style done.

[testebr]

You can use this Brazilian website videolog.uol.com.br to demonstrate or just explain any other old website already listed.

Hi there this is a wonderful hack.
