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

Downloaded with thanks for testing ..

Couldn't get the other add-on mod vBTube working as it doesn't support HTTPS sites...

Will let you know how this one works with our v4.13 version of vBulletin...

Hello Doug,

If I remember well vB supports Navigation Manager from 4.1.7 and then. So if you're running 4.1.3 you must add the menu on your own. Please note that you must set restrictions:
videoclub_access for main menu tab, and videoclub_post for access to "My Videos" menu.

Don't worry for https. If you see my demo runs in ssl. There is a setting that you must turn on (Video Club-> Options): Site SSL

Well, for those that often find add-ons that are marked for 4.2 actually work fine in 4.1, especially when they're not indicated that way here as a possibility, once you download and see the readme.txt file... it says:

2.2 vBulletin version 4.2 (minimum)

So, it might be a good idea for the developer to put that on this page and save some people a lot of time....

Uninstalled with thanks...

Regards,
Doug

Chris.... you are correct and I knew that ... thanks ..

I was just going to manually add my own TAB, but because your dependencies in your XML file block importing it at all, it's an academic exercise ..

Also, your text encoding is a strange format and my Western text edit attempt to change that so I could alter the dependency wouldn't work either. It kept trying to reformat the encoding on "save" and I end up with an HTML error on line 9 importing after changing it to 4.1.3.

Thanks anyway ... I was hoping to get this working, then go to PRO version, as I thought my retired veterans site would enjoy it...

Regards,
Doug

Try with this file. I've removed the <navigation> sections and as long I'm not using vB editor I can set minimum version 4.1.

Will do... thanks ..

I have to re-install all the files again, so I'll try to do that this afternoon, test and get back to you ..

Appreciate your efforts .. :up:

Text encoding is not an issue of my mod (or any mod) but rather is a problem of Video providers. I had the standard ISO-8859-1 that comes with vB for English but as some YouTUBE videos were showing strange characters I changed vB Language Settings for English to UTF-8. Now it works fine.

But in the next update (maybe tomorrow), I'll go one step ahead and I'll give to users the ability to change the auto fetched data with their own. Also they can change the thumbnail.

Ok...

I have it running by using https://xxx.com/video.php, although I haven't tried to add a video yet.

You have a spelling mistake in usergroups.. "videow"... (see attached)

I assume the YouTube code you want put in looks something like this?

youtube-1234567

Doug

Edit: Ok, tried a YouTube video and get a photo upload error with this link..

https://youtu.be/2FZv6NCIRcU
..
Second Edit: Checked path using your forumpath.php check program and it's correct .. also tried a Vimeo vidoe and same "Photo Upload Error" ..

[paradoxG(r)eek]

You add the FULL url and not just id. eg:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPp3FVUtdTo&t=16s

Then click "Fetch Video". If in the next page you'll get the correct data then click Save.

If you get error please check the same link in my demo. This way I can debug it easier.
