Major Additions - Video Club (YouTUBE, Vimeo, DailyMotion etc)

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

** File Removed **


Video Club
Fetch Videos from many Providers with URL
since ver. 1.2.0 you can also embed any valid video code

Things to know !!!

• If your site is SSL and you try to show a video from a non SSL site, video should not works.
• If you can't show YouTUBE videos, most probably your API key is wrong. Be sure that you've setup correct the API key and it is ver. 3. Here is a good tutorial.
• If you see strange characters in the text, the problem is character encoding. Even in English, if you're using iso-8859-1 but the video provider uses UTF-8 should have some problems. But you can edit the text, so not so important issue.

Demo Installation
demouser1 / demopass1
demouser2 / demopass2
demouser3 / demopass3
PS: In my demo I've setup Disqus as commenting system. But it's up to you to setup Threads instead.

1.- What's this?

Video Club is a Video Gallery mod for your community. It's easy to use and has a nice interface. User just needs to enter a link to the video and set a category. All others done automatically. For comments supports Thread per video but also the well known Disqus external commenting system. I strongly recommend you to use Disqus as it's very social and soon you'll see an increment amount of pageviews.

2.- Video Providers (Websites)

• 5min.com
• Blip.tv
• Break.com
• Collegehumor.com
• Dailymotion.com
• Funnyordie.com
• Gametrailers.com
• Hulu.com
• Justin.tv
• Metacafe.com
• MySpace.com
• Ustream.tv
• Veoh.com
• Vimeo.com
• Screen.Yahoo.com
• YouTUBE.com
• ver. 1.2.0 NEW!! Now you can add manual any video code your want

3.- Comments

Not only one but 3 types for comments (plus an option to not use comments)

• Thread
• Disqus
• Ajax comments

4. Installation

1. Upload all files from upload folder to the folder where your vBulletin 4.2 is installed
2. CMOD 777 the directories
   1. videoclub/thumbs
   2. videoclub/thumbs/tmp
3. Login to your admincp and import the file product-videoclub.xml
4. Set Usergroup permissions
5. Set General Options according to your needs
   1. ** MOST IMPORTANT SETTINGS **
   2. Get a YouTUBE API key from https://console.developers.google.co...is/credentials
   3. Decide if you'll use Threads for comments or Disqus. If you'll use Disqus set your site at: https://disqus.com/admin/create/
   4. Set Server Path to Uploads !!!
6. If you want modify PM templates but don't touch anything between {}
7. Set the Categories

5.- PRO Version

After many years I decided to use PRO version not as a way not to earn money (I don't expect to have more than 10 sales), but rather to find a way to pay for some commercial scripts that I want to use in the PRO version (Distribution License). The follow features will be in the PRO version:

• Extra Providers
  • Facebook
  • LiveLeak.com
  • OpenLoadMovies.com
• Videoplayer with support for prevideo ads
• Better carousel for latest videos at top
• Video search in multiple providers
• Many notifications
• Brand free

Thanks for asking...

My opinion... I'd like a system that is self contained and not on some other organization's server. I'd also prefer something that doesn't use the vBulletin thread system

So, if your old commenting system from Media Gallery was standalone and handled internally by your mod alone, that would be my preference, although I'm sure you have others here who would prefer either of the current two options.

Just my two cents worth ..

That's why I added the option for manual upload of a photo to be used as thumbnails. Is common for old videos to not see a thumbnail. Actually they exist but they're so small and so poor quality that is not for use.

Choose a photo and upload it. Is much better than having a gray "Preview not Available"

Ok, I manually added a thumbnail, which it accepted and processed the video .. (see attached)..

I then simply wanted to return to the Video Club main menu, so I clicked the TAB bar (see attached) and the screen went white...

Is it because that tab mistakenly points to video_usercp.php instead of video.php?

A small cosmetic issue.... (see attached)

In order to identify our various usergroup members with a specific colour, their name field is bracketed with HTML code.

Could Video Club interpret that HTML code and show the user name in the proper site color for that member.

Second, Video Club used some odd blue pastel color for a number of test items. Could this just be set to plain black so the mod works better with all types of custom styles?

Third, even when "Prev/Next Navigation" checked as ON, it doesn't seem to work? (see attached), although the text appears, except it's not clickable?

Thanks Chris ... :up:

2 links exist:
- Homepage -> video.php
- UserCP -> video_usercp.php?do=myvideos

I understand that...

However, the Video Club Home Page has a link pointing to -> video_usercp.php?do=myvideos

That just ends up with a white page... (see pic in earlier post)

That link titled Video Club shown in the pic should goto -> video.php

You're already at video_usercp.php?do=myvideos when viewing that page, so why would you want to go there again...

I think the label for - Home - Settings - Video Club - My Videos... needs to be changed?

ver. 1.0.4 released with 2 bug fixes in video_usercp.php file:

1.- Blank page when the link video_usercp.php had no parammeter (eg ?do=myvideos)
2.- Wrong pagination links in my videos page.

To upgrade download ver. 1.0.4 and upload only the file: video_usercp.php

Thank you
Chris

We're getting there ..

Edit: Chris.. there's no more white page, but when people click the phrase Video Club while viewing their UserCP page of their own videos, you're still using the link https://www.mysite.com/video_usercp.php

Settings -> Video Club -> My Videos

The highlighted link should take the user back to the Video Club Home Page at video.php, not leave him at video_usercp.php

Doug

For design issues please give me a breath to finish features (I'm working on adding the other commenting system as 3nd option for comments) and also to fix all code bugs.

After all I can work in design issues.
