Major Additions - Video-Directory Remixed

This mod has been rewritten for vB4x here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240677

This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.

What is this mod?

This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.

Basic Feature Listing:

• Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
• Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
• Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
• Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
• Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
• Category profiles for videos.
• Contribution profiles for users.
• Keyword profiles for tag cloud.
• Built in comment system for videos.
• Search function for titles and descriptions.
• RSS feed of videos.

Product Demo:

http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php

Installation Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
5. Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.

NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.

Upgrade Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
5. Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
   • You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.

NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.

Roadmap for the Future:

• Moderation
• Favorites
• Playlists

Don't forget to click INSTALL!

Hi,

if somebody uses vbadvanced cmps and wants the directory navigation column on the right side and want to lift it up on the same level as the video itself.
Just change in the video_shell template
this:

<if condition="$HTMLembed">$HTMLembed</if>

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

	<td style="width: 170px; padding-right: 15px;" valign="top">

Maybe it's useful for somebody...

Great Mod Thanks!

[nighteyes]

I really would love to see an imeem.com hoster file. Imeem allows a lot more of their video content to be embedded than other sites.

2. CHMOD /videothumbnails and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.

You should have the directories CHMOD777 as well as the sub-directories (YouTube, etc).

Veoh.

[GlamRockTalk]

Jaxel, is it possible to have the Apple Trailers as part of our mod here?

As I said before... unless the site has individual video RSS files... it cant be done.

I'm getting this error - anybody know why?

Fatal error: Call to undefined method vB_VideoSharingService_YouTube::fetch_showurl() in /var/www/domains/dawnswebdesigns.com/docs/forum/video.php on line 492

I'm sorry...should've read back about 3/4 pages. I did try to reimport the hosters but I couldn't find the files so I exported what I had & tried to reimport them which didn't work out. But then I found this:

SOLUTION: After upgrading, go to Video Directory - Manager Hoster - Click "Import Video-Hoster" - browse to install folder (VidDirRx-1.2.0\upload\includes\xml) and install the XML files for each hoster and set the settings.

OK now videos are simply loading...they don't show up.

Upgrade to 1.2.1 and REIMPORT YOUR HOSTERS.
