Major Additions - Video Club (YouTUBE, Vimeo, DailyMotion etc)

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

** File Removed **


Video Club
Fetch Videos from many Providers with URL
since ver. 1.2.0 you can also embed any valid video code

Things to know !!!

• If your site is SSL and you try to show a video from a non SSL site, video should not works.
• If you can't show YouTUBE videos, most probably your API key is wrong. Be sure that you've setup correct the API key and it is ver. 3. Here is a good tutorial.
• If you see strange characters in the text, the problem is character encoding. Even in English, if you're using iso-8859-1 but the video provider uses UTF-8 should have some problems. But you can edit the text, so not so important issue.

Demo Installation
demouser1 / demopass1
demouser2 / demopass2
demouser3 / demopass3
PS: In my demo I've setup Disqus as commenting system. But it's up to you to setup Threads instead.

1.- What's this?

Video Club is a Video Gallery mod for your community. It's easy to use and has a nice interface. User just needs to enter a link to the video and set a category. All others done automatically. For comments supports Thread per video but also the well known Disqus external commenting system. I strongly recommend you to use Disqus as it's very social and soon you'll see an increment amount of pageviews.

2.- Video Providers (Websites)

• 5min.com
• Blip.tv
• Break.com
• Collegehumor.com
• Dailymotion.com
• Funnyordie.com
• Gametrailers.com
• Hulu.com
• Justin.tv
• Metacafe.com
• MySpace.com
• Ustream.tv
• Veoh.com
• Vimeo.com
• Screen.Yahoo.com
• YouTUBE.com
• ver. 1.2.0 NEW!! Now you can add manual any video code your want

3.- Comments

Not only one but 3 types for comments (plus an option to not use comments)

• Thread
• Disqus
• Ajax comments

4. Installation

1. Upload all files from upload folder to the folder where your vBulletin 4.2 is installed
2. CMOD 777 the directories
   1. videoclub/thumbs
   2. videoclub/thumbs/tmp
3. Login to your admincp and import the file product-videoclub.xml
4. Set Usergroup permissions
5. Set General Options according to your needs
   1. ** MOST IMPORTANT SETTINGS **
   2. Get a YouTUBE API key from https://console.developers.google.co...is/credentials
   3. Decide if you'll use Threads for comments or Disqus. If you'll use Disqus set your site at: https://disqus.com/admin/create/
   4. Set Server Path to Uploads !!!
6. If you want modify PM templates but don't touch anything between {}
7. Set the Categories

5.- PRO Version

After many years I decided to use PRO version not as a way not to earn money (I don't expect to have more than 10 sales), but rather to find a way to pay for some commercial scripts that I want to use in the PRO version (Distribution License). The follow features will be in the PRO version:

• Extra Providers
  • Facebook
  • LiveLeak.com
  • OpenLoadMovies.com
• Videoplayer with support for prevideo ads
• Better carousel for latest videos at top
• Video search in multiple providers
• Many notifications
• Brand free

Setting Option? Just a moment.

[lillylissy]

You are right. The adjustment functions.

[lillylissy]

It seems, as SEO URL would not work. Or did I forget something?
And the setting option that you added Christos, to show or not similar videos is a good thing.
I would implement the same setting-option also with the slider at the top.
Sometimes fewer is more (an old german proverb ).
And a cms-widget with "latest, most view" or whatever videos would be great.

Please add your paypal-data here on the add-on page (about the developer).

Guten Tag!
To say the true haven't tested yet SEO links but I used the same code in other mods and they're working. Have you added seo rules from htaccess.txt file to your .htaccess file?

Also note, that if you change any SEO words in general options (videoclub) you must change the same in htaccess file.

[lillylissy]

Yes, I added the rules in my .htaccsess.
The seo-url displays also correct. But there is no forwarding to the appropriate video.
And I see a double-slash // in the url.

I'll check it now. Just finished the new style (vB format);
http://www.cmsbulletin.com/demo/vb42/video.php

Then I'll try to test what's wrong in your site by adding the same js files. I'm very stuborn and I want to find the bug. Most probably is the Nivo slider. In this case I suggest you to use bxslider that I'm using in videoclub instead. Is very flexible. Nivo slider supports only one photo per slide and this is a big disadvantage.

This bug needs manual fix. You must go to Videoclub-> General options and change SEO settings by removing the end slash. eg:

videos/album/ ......to...... videos/album
videos/author/ ......to...... videos/author
videos/tag/ ......to...... videos/tag
video/ ......to...... video

[paradoxG(r)eek]

ver. 1.3.0 is available for download. It has everything that you asked for, and also fixes all reported bugs.

1. Improvements:
   1. Almost all templates have been modified to use the default vBulletin style. I thought that a different style should be better, but seems that I was mistaken. In person I don't like all pages in my site to appear as forums.
   2. Even the user title has been updated to use open/close html tags.
2. Bug fix: There is a double typo bug in seo urls:
   1. htaccess file has wrong filenames. You must replace all (4) media.php with video.php or use the updated htaccess.txt file
   2. In Video Club-> General Options you must change all (4) SEO settings by removing the end slash. eg videos/author/ must be videos/author etc.

How to Upgrade

1. Download ver. 1.3.0
2. Upload ALL files in your server, overwritting the old ones.
3. Import product-videoclub.xml and don't forget to check "Overwrite".

After all, I believe that ver. 1.3.0 is a stable version, that's why I've activated "Support Developer" for those who want to donate something. In exchange, they will get the legal right to turn off "Show Copyright" in General Options (last option).

Thank you for using Video Club
Christos

In the package, there is a "additional.css" and a "additional_vbstyle.css"
What have I to do with them?

Thank you very much for your work!

Thank you very much for your work!

I forgot to remove them. I had in mind to have those files there and copy+paste the content manually to additional.css. But finally a few only stylevars exist in videoclub.css

If you already downloaded ver. 1.3.0 and you're using SEO urls please upload the attached file to videoclub/includes/

Thank you for your supporting words, and for feedback at all.
