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/

Hi,

I just installed Goldbrick (not any media) and I get the following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /forum/goldbrick/plugins/bbcode_create.php on line 53

Can you help?

[Si_b]

Goldbrick is PHP 5 only.

Hello to all,

Since 2 days, I am trying to install Anymedia 3.1b3 on a vBulletin 3.5.1 running under PHP Version 4.4.4

For many reasons that will be too long to explain, I cannot upload to a newer vB version and my hosting company do not plan to move to PHP5 before mid 2008.

So, I installed Anymedia 3.1b3 on my current platform...

First I was really disapointed to not find any basic install instructions. I read today the 90 pages of this forum to learn that I have to set usergroups and forums permissions. According other things I read, I think I have templates to edit ... wicht templates ? wich replacements ? I don't know...

So Anymedia seems to work partially on my website :

I can manually (I do not have the M tag in the editor) enter [media]my file URL[/media] from direct links for .avi, .wmv, .asx and it correctely launch the player and play the video. Pict 1

Attachment 74305

Regarding YouTube, it does not play the video but only show a thumbail and ask for upgrade flashplayer2. Pict 2

Attachment 74306

So, I am sure that I miss info to install correctely this product.

1) I would like to have instructions to have the M tag on the editor to direct paste video URLs, please

2) I would like to solve the problem with YouTube flashplayer ....

Many thanks in advance for help.

Download anymedia for 3.5. Same install instructions. I'm not supporting this version of anymedia anymore.
