New Posting Features - VB AnyMedia Player / Media Sites (youtube, google and many more)

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/

What's new in Goldbrick?

• Complete code overhaul.
• Plays most media types.

how does goldbrick handle all of the old posts that used anymedia?

thanks for your time and hard work on this amazing mod.

1. Yes

2. Yes

3. Doesn't . Something I'm adding. If you used media for your tags for anymedia and set post cache to 0 in vbulletin options it should pick up the old anymedia tags. You can then set post cache back to whatever it was.

I've attached an old install text for anymedia. It has the template edits in it.

Open goldbrick/includes/class_goldbrick.php and delete this line

PHP Code:

curl_setopt($handle, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, true);

is there anyway you can edit your script to work with these songs ? They have no extension at the end.

alright got it all working, I was having problems with attachments but read post 1402 and it fixed my problem.

I have a question about one of the features.

1. When people use/have used the img tags the forum displays the picture at full size without goldbrick. Is there a way to make IMG tags work with goldbrick or a way to disable the IMG tags? I have set "Set the tag name for the BBcode" in the gold brick options to various tags including img IMG [img] and [IMG] and it didn't seem to do anything either.

2. is there anyway to have it work if someone doesn't put the http:// in the url?

Im sure I'll have another question in the coming days.

thanks again.

Thanks so much! I will search my database as well for any anymedia remains as well once I do that will test out this new system

OK installed and LOVE IT! Now one issue and one comment.

There is a issue with your mod and this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=145187

If you load the mod you will see what happens. It shows your mod but breaks it up in code bits it doesn't recognize your mod basically. Just need to add support for your mod in that AJAX section.

Now second is there a way to change how images are shown for instance you have them one on top of another. What if I post lets say over 300 images in a post. Well I created some code so it would do side by side and X amount across according to there browser etc and on down till all images where done. Can this be done with your mod as well. Here is a link to show you my example. Cause it would speed up the site a lot in the sense that it loads in your system and not on the actual page so page would pop up immediately and just load each picture separate and allow for not needing a thumbnail image to original.

Link: http://www.allwheeljunkies.com/showthread.php?t=24455

Also there is a small error with the auto media embed. Will show you example in minute. It is with images. It breaks up and does this:

[media]urlimage[/media]
[media]urlimage[/url]
[url]urlimage[/media]

Also when doing quick edit and editing out the [|url]urllink[/url|] to urllink and saving it will put it back as [|url]urllink[/url|] and not [media]urllink[/media]

FYI take out the | that was just to break up the BBcode from making it a URL link on this post

Ok here is another glitch. On that test link I put above. You have to wait till ALL photos are loaded on the page or your mod will freeze on a picture. Clear your cache and go to that link above. Go to second to last post right before the 130 pictures post. Click on that picture before the 130 pictures are done loading and see what happens. If you do it to fast the picture will not pop up and you will have to click again. When it finally comes up it will be frozen you can't click out of screen for it to go down or on the picture.

FYI: I have php 5.2.4 and mysql 5.0.23 Fx 2.0.0.11 Windows XP Pro SVP2
Tested in IE7 and it seems to load those 130 pictures the same time as the single pictures so there is no delay between loading to duplicate the issue in IE7.
Opera does same thing as Fx

So this is a very big issue when I post threads with over 500 images or more and if I have to wait for every single one to load before starting to look. That is an issue will need to use my other method to post them for now.

Great program by the way and great work. I will keep testing for you.

Well I installed ~*~GoLdBrIcK~*~ but...

what can I do with this? [I removed the whole anymedia file by file]

It's easy to make the Images float next to each other. You just have to change the html. I didn't do it because every forum is different.

The loading of images is all done with the highlside javascript. You can open it up in goldbrick/style/highslide.js and change it to meet your needs.
