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/

I tried that. Still a no go for me. What bbcode tags does yours use video or media. Instructions say it should insert media, but mine says video

[Carsten77]

i use the standard option with tags with media.

If you want to make a temp admin I'll look at it. The media tags can be whatever you want. You also shouldn't have to enter them.

I don't know if this has been requested before, I searched the thread and didn't see it but how hard would it be to make it an option to disable the media tags for a user? Like you can the img tags. I'm asking because a lot of people browse my forum from work and youtube and similar sites are blocked but when they view a thread with the media tags being used it's giving them a blocked notice since the site is blocked and in some cases making the page load delay. So it would be nice if I could give users the option to disable the tags and just have it show as a link.

This is one thing that I'm adding to the new version. I have the same problem when I'm at work. So one of the new features is that it will take a link and give you a thumbnail and link to the video. When you click the link it will popup with the video so it doesn't load a ton of flash videos in a thread. I also made it so it stores the info in a database so if you don't use cached post it doesn't have to go and retrieve the same info with every pageview. It will also check to see if a link is already posted and if so it will redirect the person to that thread.

Hey guys, when I post mp3 links it leads to the thread being a permanent blank page. I can't fix that.

Also, I uploaded a .wma via the attachment system but it won't "play".
