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/

well that would make sense huh. Will do.

[Tralala]

Is there a way to preserve the 3.0.x behavior that requires the [media] tags to be used? My users don't like the autoparsing, and want links to stay as links. Only when they use the [media] tags do they want AnyMedia to kick in. Is that possible to do, by default?

go into the plugins and uncheck the newpost process plugin.

Gotcha. Cool, and thanks for the quick response. Also thanks for such fantastic support of my favorite mod. You set a fine example and my hat's off to you!

For future users, in a future version may I suggest making this "autoparsing of links" an AdminCP setting, so they don't need to manually disable the process...
