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/

Thx for the fix... testing now

/tested and the error is disappeard so again thx m8

Q: Whats the bennefit of the cache ticked on, is the video cached into the gb system ?

[nix]

All the media info that is stored in the database is put into the cache system to eliminate any extra database calls. It's mostly for those who turn off vb's Cached Posts Lifespan but I still noticed some queries with vb's cache turned on.

I have a question for you. I have installed this mod and I am loving it thus far. I am just having one problem. How can I change where the video shows up in my profile? It seems to show up at the bottom of the profile when $template_hook[profile_left_last] is called for. Is that correct? I want to make the video alone move up more toward the top of my profile. Like right below the about me and Who I'd like to meet sections on my profiles. How would I go about doing this, without also bringing up the TR and Blogs, which I think is also brought when $template_hook[profile_left_last] is called for?

If you want to see what I am talking about check the following link. Because I do not have a normal profile.

Thanks in advance for the help.

I would also like to take the Profile Video link under GoldBrick options in the userCP and move it to the your profile section. However I cannot do it for the same reason as the above situation. I cannot find $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]. This is what calls this to the userCP. So how can I edit this, and move it where I want to? I know I could just add another link up there where I want it, but I still have to remove this code from $template_hook[usercp_navbar_bottom]. That has to still be in my userCP for the blogs to show up. So some help with the above issue as well as this one would be great, if you have the time.

You can manually move it or find another hook location.

Any fix for

An error occurred while processing the bitfield files, the following information was returned:

in the Goldbrick 1.91 options under vb 3.7.2?

Did it give you an error?

During installation I got no errors. I just cant see any of the Goldbrick bitfields in the forum permission area, usergroup permission area or the extension section of the Options. I've gone into debug mode and tried rebuilding bitfields and had no change in behavior.
