The Skinny
This mod is a beast in a small package. When I was working on this addition to the Video Directory I kept trying to think of more things to add. But now that version 1.1.0 RC 2 is released, I figured it was time to release the first version of this mod.
What this mod does, is basically a couple things. You can list videos on your forum home in a vertical sidebar table (If you have a sidebar already then you may need help getting this to work that way.), or you can display the videos in one of two versions of a horizontal table. The first version is just a basic version. This version only displays the thumbnail image and the name of the video linked to the video post. The second version is a more detailed version. This version allows you to list the videos to blend with the forums. The table has information such as, thumbnail, linked title, description, view count, comment count, and last comment posted by.
Installation
1. Import the product in your admincp.
2. Search in your FORUMHOME template

Finally I was able to get this fantastic add-on in the ultimate side column.
Here's How
1. In Admin CP => Plugins & Products => Plugin Manager (Select FORUMHOME Video List)
2. Change Hook Location from forumhome_start to global_Start
3. Go to "usc_sidecolumn_right " template and insert $fhlist_shell at any desired location after the blocks.
Thumbnails are not showing up for me...I keep getting permission denied error messages and I followed the instructions as you instructed them...does this work with vbulletin version 3.8???

Make sure that your videothumbnails directory is CHMOD777 and the sub-directories as well.
I made a vBAdvanced module to show latest videos from Video Directory. My only remaining problem is to set the x amount of videos to be shown on vBA pages.
Currently I need to hardcode them, but I am close.

Where can I find this module?
This hack is really cool. But I need it on my portal page rather than the FORUMHOME page. The suggested fix for USB did not work for me.
Can anyone offer hints as to how I would place the vertical strip on my cmps_index page?
queestion: how did you make the sidebar? that is, I want to add more blocks to YOUR sidebar configuration. other side column add-ons have broke my forums. heh. go figure.
anyone know how to add MORE side bar modules to THIS hack? (as opposed to adding this to ultimate side bar which breaks my forum style)
Also, I like how the other way of displaying the list. The way when it looks like forums and shows a lot of details. Can I add anything to that? I want to add a link for those that want to enter the video directory.
