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/

It is fine. Great job but I face a small problem.
All urls are working fine. The attachement is working fine but when I am inserting a url with a .flv file from my own website (where I have a lot of videos and animations) it is dispayed as embed but I get an error saying "You need to upgrade your Flash Player". (PHP version 5.2.3)
Can anybody help me???
Thanks in advance....

All seems to be working great. Thanks very much for the mod.

I have a few questions about isntalling the HighSlide JS with this (the mod for it on here seems to have been removed). Also on the 3.7 profile page only one video seems to be able to be shown. I'm a complete n00b by the way. Is is appropriate to ask in this thread?

Thanks again!

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare goldbrick_hook_google_complete() (previously declared in xxxxxxx/goldbrick/includes/sites/google.php:33) in xxxxxxxx/goldbrick/includes/sites/google.php on line 36

I can't reproduce the error. What link did you try?

[Spacker]

oh my. that's looks good. Very good. *rubs hands*

So anyway *slowly makes circles with foot* urmm, I was wondering. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a how-to to install the HighSlide JS blobby thing in with this mod on VBulletin 3.7 beta 3? I've done the "google is my friend" and well, frankly, it wasn't. Or very very simple, step by painful step instructions would be very much appreciated.
