Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

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/

ok now i dont get unsupported file type. y not sure no changes made. but img shows an x and when you click on it to show the player it is blank.

Edit:

Dont have problems pasting any other links but only this 1. The others display and play fine.

its probably phrased wrong now. its pulling it from the database. You can delete that record or try changing the link some.

Create a new plugin under anymedia in blog_entry_start and put this in it.

PHP Code:

if ($vbulletin->options['anymediaenable'] && ($vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['anymediapermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_anymediapermissions['canuse']))
{
    //require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_newpost.php');

    preg_match('{\[url\](.+)\[\/url\]}i', $bloginfo['pagetext'], $match);
    if(isset($match))
    {
        include_once (DIR . '/includes/class_anymedia.php');
        $anyMedia = new Anymedia($vbulletin);
        $media = $anyMedia->newfetch($match[1], $options);

        if ($media['type'] != 'error' && $media['type'] != 'unknown')
        {
            $mediatag = $vbulletin->options['anymediatag'];
            $pattern = array('[url]', '[/url]');
            $replace = array("[$mediatag]", "[/$mediatag]");
            
            $bloginfo['pagetext'] = str_replace($pattern, $replace, $bloginfo['pagetext']);
        }
    }
}

if($vbulletin->options['anymediaimage']) {
    // Img
    preg_match('{\[IMG\](.+)\[\/IMG\]}i', $bloginfo['pagetext'], $m);
    if(!is_null($m[1]))
    {
        include_once (DIR . '/includes/class_anymedia.php');
        $anyMedia = new Anymedia($vbulletin);
        $media = $anyMedia->newfetch($m[1], $options);

        if ($media['type'] != 'error' && $media['type'] != 'unknown')
        {
            $mediatag = $vbulletin->options['anymediatag'];
            $pattern = array('[IMG]', '[/IMG]');
            $replace = array("[$mediatag]", "[/$mediatag]");
            
            $bloginfo['pagetext'] = str_replace($pattern, $replace, $bloginfo['pagetext']);
        }
    }
}

Nice hack man, one problem, the mp3 is messed, not sure if it's me or what but when we listen to music it's like it's been sped up and the song sounds like chipmunks, wtf is up with it? Also, would you mind adding some Anime video sites, If you want some links for if you do for updates, just ask. ^_~

Installed on 3.6.8 and works fine (once I got the images in the right place).

I think that might be on your end. Works fine here.
