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/

Yes, this is how it is set by default for every usergroup.

What exactly isn't working?

You have to goto the usersgroups when you first install to rebuild the bitfields. Have you tried it since then?

[Seb@]

yes, I tried it just now and when I use for example collegehumor.com link it remains untouched.
for example it appears as:
[media] college humor link [/media]

but when I do it with a youtube link the post disappears. every usergroup when I checked had anymedia enabled (both options). I am using vB 3.6.8, I don't know if that has happened to anyone else.

[nix]

Did you have anyMedia installed before? If you want to pm a link your board I'll take a look at it when I get home.

[cunder]

it worked perfectly anymedia3.1.0 with vBulletin? Version 3.6.8 Great job:up:

[halcyoncmdr]

For some reason this youtube link will not post

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PsHFFMzdU_U

I can get it to work with our backup youtube bbcode, so I know there is a video there, but anymedia won't parse it. Other youtube links work however.

If I put http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsHFFMzdU_U (adding the www) I get a database error.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE vb_post SET anymedia_yes=1 WHERE postid=;

Make sure that you went into the usergroups and rebuilt the permissions...
