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/

In lieu of. This uses highslide. I'm going to make a version that uses vb lightbox.

Does not work on first refresh of page.

Shows the link only, then requires a refresh to get the link to change to media.

I haven't added quickreply and preview yet. I'll get those in.

I'll get one out soon. To use it though just take a link from say youtube and post it. The mod will do the rest.

Same here :/

As it would seem, you cannot edit a post then put a new video in it. Also, you cannot edit a video to be a different video site.

New posts and new threads are the only way ATM.

Yes it does. Move attachments to the file system and make sure you add the mp3 extension to vbulletins attachment manager.
