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.

i edited the gb_header and changed the paths to numerous things and nothing worked (the path was set at goldbrick/styles/swfobjects.js). i tried http://www.cirlcex-gaming.com/forums/goldbrick/styles/swfobjects.js,
www.circlex-gaming.com/forums/goldbrick/styles/swfobjects.js,
forums/goldbrick/styles/swfobjects.js,
public_html/goldbrick/styles/swfobjects.js,
I tried the same for highslide.js.
I checked the header template and there was nothing listed for swfobjects or highslide.js

i checked the server and the files were in the proper spots also.

I had photopost, i removed that and another old mod with highslide last night. I completely uninstalled glodbrick and reinstalled it. you can click on the thumbnails now, but they open up full screen in a window without highslide. ( i turned post cache temporarily off until this gets fixed).

thanks

Nix... I have the correct path in the gb_header template. But why it kept on asking me to upgrade my flash player????

[aamirkhj]

Hi Nix, I am new to VB and I am trying to install VB AnyMedia Player / Media Sites 1.5 on VB 3.6.

I am trying to follow the instructions to upload the content of the upload folders but according to the instructions: . "Upload the contents of the "upload" does not provide any break down of which content need to be uploaded in which folder or directory so I am not sure in which folder I should upload the contents of i.e "includes, plugin, style and the contents of Media player"

There is no file path to follow in the instructions for all the files or directions, can some one help me in finding the path for uploading the file via ftp for each folder content on the server.

I am new to VB and need some help please Any one can help please

[bostton1]

goldbrick folder - forum root (you upload the entire glodbrick folder)

you then find your includes, xml folder and upload bitfield_goldbrick.xml there.

players folder - you upload the entire folder to your forum root.

I've confirmed what's happening (but not why).

If I used vBadvanced modules to show entire posts, it screws up those posts in the actual forums and on the vBadvanced page, until the post is edited. But it reverts to being screwed up the next time the home page is visited on the computer.

I have removed the module that shows posts with goldbrick tags from my homepage, and now I haven't seen any issues when people change styles at all.
