Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

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/

I'm thinking of downloading and installing this hack but I'm confused as how it works? Is it like the Xeon MP3 Player? Or does this work differently?

Doh! Sorry about that. Got caught up with other things. I'll look into it. Is there a test forum I can test links?

Well I think I found the problem without needing to post. I have this fixed in 3.1. I'll try and release a quick update (3.0.9.6) in the next couple of days to fix this.

Very much in work still. But another sneak peak

What Was The Problem Mate Thanks For The Help

[chronoshift]

the M button doesn't display for me and [media] / etc doesn't work I just installed the new version (never had any of the previous versions) and made sure media.gif / etc is in the right place!

[chronoshift]

ok this is really weird - I took out the if statement surrounding:

<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_wrap0_{$vboptions[anymediatag]}"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/media.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[wrap_media_tags]" /></div></td>

that is supposed to be placed in the editor_toolbar_on template - and the blue M showed up! Of course, when it stuck [MEDIA] tags around the video URL, it still didn't work, didn't even bring up a media player, it was just the text - which makes me think that anymedia isn't enabled since the if condition <if condition="$show['anymedia_bbcode']"> was stopping the blue M from showing up, but in all the settings I have anymedia enabled... ???
