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/

What's new in Goldbrick?

• Complete code overhaul.
• Plays most media types.
• Forum admins can add their own video sites
• Updated Highslide.js
• Attachment Images work with Goldbrick

• Media Options per post
• Much more on the way!

Hi Nix, I'd really like to use Goldbrick, but when I enable it and try to go to one of my forums, the pages wont load, and I get this message:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/bendingp/public_html/3dmg/goldbrick/plugins/bbcode_create.php on line 53

here are my server software items
Apache version 2.2.8 (Unix)
PHP version 5.2.5
MySQL version 5.0.45-community-log
Architecture x86_64
Operating system Linux

Thanks for any help...

Hi,

Is there a way to display videos directly into posts, like anymedia did?

Thanks for your answers.

It was a great feature I will admit but overall. I think something like it should be released. Many of my members have loved using lightbox. It cleans up huge images as well as makes Videos a great feature. Easy open easy close. Plus music goes the same way. I hope in time things can get better with both.

I still hope to find a fix on the CMPS pages.

I'll still have the classic style and the lightbox version. I'm just not using highslide or vbulletin. I'm surprised how limited the vbulletin version is. Kind of disappointed, though I'm very happy with what I'm using now.

    <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

Correct. This is fixed.

For user posted content? If you want to fix it now look at the goldbrick_player tempalate for the divix

Hrm, that's weird. That's exactly what I'm using for development. If you want to try this, change line 53 to this

PHP Code:

function handle_bbcode_media( &$parser, $text, $options='' ) 


[bendingpixels]

thanks for the response! I changed that line, and got the following error

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or '}' in /home/bendingp/public_html/3dmg/goldbrick/includes/class_goldbrick.php on line 15

Attached mp3 stopped working since upgrade to 3.7 and new style. Inline mp3 work fine.

Any ideas?

Can someone please give me the working php file for DailyMotion? thanks much.

I've test this version and of course it works for me. If anyone wants to test it before I release it I would apreciatie it.

This fixes most bugs. There are some left, this version just fixes the major ones.

Bug Fixes that I remember

1. Removed highslide and replaced (smaller footprint now)
2. Profiles fixed
3. edit post fixed
4. dailymotion fixed
5. um, a lot more I just don't remember
6. attachments fixed

I'll also have a working demo up soon.
