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/

Internet Explorer 6 with SP2.

I just upgraded to vBulletin 3.6.8, would that make a difference?

I also asked other members to make a post, see if it entirely my problem.

It could. Did you fix all the templates?

Yes, I did. I upgraded to 3.6.8 and then edited the templates in your instructions.

Should I double check? It's possible I missed something.

Hi Nix,

I'm getting a database error when I preview a post.

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

I saw the same error in a previous post so I followed your advice given then and uninstalled then reinstalled

I'm still getting the errors

Hmm. Yeah, I'm kinda torn on it too. There was something to be said about the simplicity of the simple embedded video window in AnyMedia 3.0.x.

But I like the bug fixes and new compatibility (like QT and movie trailers) in 3.1b.

I can see how folks would like the new way, but also some other folks preferring the original.

It might be nice to make this display (window vs. highslidable thumbnail) a configurable option (either via global admin setting, or per user in the UserCP.)

I installed everything and I am getting the dreaded "Error: unsupported media type." error. Please Help!

Here is a link to my config: http://www.gofastnews.com/lt/media.pdf

Here is the link I am trying:
http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...arch&plindex=2

Here is the link to my thread:

Thank you in advance.

Just looked at your site and seems to be working fine.

I'm going to add an option. Would you rather it be a user or admin option?

I just tried that link on my test site and it worked fine.




Just to clear somethings up.

1. The template edits are only needed if you want to user attachments or options.

2. The database errors, quick reply and preview are fixed in the next version.

3. I'll make an option on how the media displays. Do you guys want it to be a user or admin setting?

4. Thanks for helping get rid of all the bugs!

Ideally I think I'd like it to be a UserCP setting... with an Admin setting for what the "default" should be. Seems that would please everybody.
