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

ver. 1.3.2 released with follow updates:

1. Fixed all reported bugs with the most important being the missing Video Status (Active, Hidden, Awaiting Approval) in the new template style released in version 1.3
2. Added the requested feature Edit Video. ATTENTION: There was an important reason that I haven't added this feature before. Most video providers (including YouTUBE and Vimeo) prohibits to change data to protect the copyright of the video poster. Is easily understandable that a modified title (or text) can lead to different meanings. That's why I coded it such a way to be controled by usergroup permission. So think well before giving permissions to edit.

To upgrade:

1. Download ver. 1.3.2
2. I suggest you to upload all files in case that I forgoten changes that I did in some files. But if you want to do a selective upload then upload the files:
   1. video.php
   2. video_usercp.php
   3. includes/xml/bitfield_videoclub.xml
3. Import product-videoclub.xml
4. Goto Usergroups and set the permission Edit. Default is NO.

And please rate this mod

You've had me downloading and testing various individual files with fixes and features.

If I upgrade to 1.3.2, I assume all of what you've already done for us is included in this update?

Thanks ..

Doug

For thumbnail I need the real video URL (eg YouTUBE) to check if it has thumbnail or not.
1.- Have you cmod 777 the directory videoclub/thumbs?
2.- When you tried to add the video did you seen any thumnail in the form?

For the video page the link is wrong. As I seen you've activated SEO urls. Have you upload htaccess.txt and then rename it to .htaccess ? Is also wise first to check something with real URLs and when you see that everything is working fine then to turn on SEO urls. So I suggest you to turn off seo urls now.

When I use direct links eg http://www.spyidea.com/video.php?do=viewvideo&id=3 the video works. So something is wrong with your htaccess file.
