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/

What's new in Goldbrick?

then below it shows this error message

vBulletin Message

Does anyone have site file that works with screencast, or can anyone make one? it is beyond my ability... www.screencast.com those videos are streaming .flv files and have similar youtube type features...

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Here is an example url that needs to be processed. Using the youtube thing i guess sticks a "v" in there somewhere that is required for youtube but it breaks this code.

and i know a few sites do it right (youtube seems to be the only one so far... atleast that we use) but it needs to work with all of them.

You can change the default image if you like. If it shows the default image instead of a thumbnail for the video it's because the site makes it impossible for me to grab it or I just haven't coded it in yet.

It's fixed in version 1.9 which is posted a couple of pages back and the think should show in this post. If you want you ca just remove that line from the php code also. safe_mode will be removed from PHP 6 and it really just gives users a false sense of security.

Are you saying it's working for you now?

Moving attachments to the file system in in your vbulletin adminCP. You also have to make a folder and give it the right permissions.

I have a version that is pretty much ready to go. I hope to get some free time this week to release it.

I could have sworn Liveleak videos were supported, but as of late GB just adds url tags to the links.

I hate searching through this long thread to try and find the latest update download. Why isn't it being updated in the main area above? Along with the update changes? Not like it would be hard. You have to dig through this thread to get the most recent version. When the one above is still 1.5 and has known issues. Seriously, couldn't headaches be saved by updating the main file above and showing the changelog for each version?!

^^ Yeah, me too ^^

But, on another note: I would like for Goldbrick to throw up a big sign to my members when they try to post a media link, saying something like "You accept full responsibility for the media you are trying to submit. By clicking the ACCEPT button, you confirm that the media link you are submitting is not associated with any activities deemed illegal (in whichever country the server resides in). Blah blah blah,,,, and so on" And, then have a HUGE button with the word ACCEPT written across it, and another that says cancel. Or, something on these lines.

Is there a way to do this ^^

thanks in advance.

If I thought they were ready for everyone to use I would release it there.
