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 know about the quick reply.

Refresh the page in your browser with the youtube link.

Ok thanks.

How do i turn off anymedia for attachments? Sorry for a dumb question like that.

Also, any reason why it doesn't play when posting a quick reply?

[seanadl]

Sorry.. again, in the images folder, its blank. So no thumbnail of the icon for the editor.

Nix, when i complete de installation process, when i use the [media] tag, i just dont get any result. its appears as i wrote:


[media]http://server.com/file.mp3[/media]

Just don't get any result

[seanadl]

You'll see two options in anymedia options under vbulletin options.

Did you goto your usergroup permissions?

[seanadl]

Ok i've found that. That's all done.

I guess the only two things remaining outstanding right now are the fact it doesn't initially show if you do a quick reply (you need to refresh)...

And the images folder within the admincp/images folder that come with this is completely empty.. so there is no button on the toolbar.

[nix]

Yea I just haven't added the quick reply.

Doh. Forgot about the image. You can download the other package zip. Its in there. But you don't even need the button anymore.

[seanadl]

Why don't we need the button?

[nix]

it will auto phrase the link. jut post a link and hit reply.
