Major Additions - Goldbrick Audio/Video Media System

Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.7

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/

You can post the link that is not working for you also.

I have admin privilages and Goldbrick is enabled for the usergroup.

Here is a link that demonstrates a .wmv video added to a post with GoldBrick enabled. It only shows as a link - no inline video.

I am running current versions of VB and Goldbrick.

Well, I thought I would have to search the whole thread to find someone with my problem, must be my lucky day that the last post in here deals with my issue

One of my users tried posting a link to a .wmv file. All the usergroup settings are correct and windows media is enabled in my vb options. However, it only shows up as a link. I've tried it myself with the same results. Any fix or workaround for this?

Are you using Goldbrick 1.8 and do you have goldbrick setup to check attachments?

[YLP1]

I am using the 1.5 goldbrick from this topic (download in first post) and I have GoldBrick turned on to check attachments.

Nix... I found the 1.8 version and installed and now the player shows but it doesn't play my .wmv file example here: http://lincolnparkforums.com/showthr...992#post207992

Any ideas on why it won't play? Thanks in advance and I can't wait to get this working --- it was a much easier install then the old anymedia mod ---- it will be awesome once the kinks are out of it.

Edited to add... I got .flv files to play but no go on .wmv or .swf

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/goldbrick/plugins/profile_start.php(19) : eval()'d code on line 2


It still takes the URL and submits it and works beautifully. I'd just like to clear up the error message. What do I need to do to fix this error?

Any luck with this yet Nix?

I found another issue in addition to the above:
Using 3.7 Gold; Goldbrick 1.8 - profile video on in ACP.

When attempting to edit signature via profile page, this error occurs:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in [path]/goldbrick/plugins/profile_start.php on line 44

I looked at the Plugin Manager for this mod and found that the "Goldbrick: Editpost Update Process" is inactive. Would this have anything to do with the signature error?

Thanks in advance.

I'll fix this stuff shortly. Suffering form 2nd DEG burns. This is the first day that I'm able to sit in a chair .
