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/

I get this error:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in [path]/goldbrick/includes/class_goldbrick.php on line 526

It seems to still work though.

Edit:
I get this message when I tried to put a youtube video in my profile:

For the people using version 1.9, how it is working for you?

[rapidphim]

it's not working for me for the following, Dailymotion, MegaVideo, Megarotic (not sure I spelled it right),

And for Google, still get the error if you have more than two video files... Sometime I still received the error for just one Google Video file....

If possible, please add the IDMdb. I have not yet test the flash file. And the Next, Previous button between/among videos or images are not working...

Typo in admin settings "Defualt Title for Media"

Fot the users who running vBA edit line 1056 in the product file:

look for:

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="goldbrick/style/highslide-full.packed.js"></script> 


Change to:

PHP Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/goldbrick/style/highslide-full.packed.js"></script> 


This will eliminated the IE Highslide error.

I haven't fixed any sites. I'm just fixing bugs from the main code right now. I do believe I fixed the Google video bug already though in version 1.8.

Thanks for the typo. Fixed.

If anyone is using 1.9 have you tried the Cache yet?

[rapidphim]

Ummmm... how are you going to try the Cache?

[OsideRida06]

Thanks for the great hack. I just installed the 1.9. It is working great.

I had one of the error codes at first. I read through the posts and found out how to fix it easily. Also did the upgrade to 1.9.

[TheProphet]

I had te remove the increase and decrease options on the members video tab, this give me an error "expect object"

When i tick the option for the cache, im getting this error:
