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

This is normal for old videos. They have only a small (default) thumbnail. The mod is trying to get the high quality thumb and if does not exists then tries for medium quality. Then it stops. Maybe I'll extend it to get the default, if nothing else exists, but this will be very low quality.

I'll check everything tomorrow. Don't worry. As for the PRO version that you mentioned before is not ready and don't know if I'll ever release such version. Maybe I'll add some more features in this version.

@lillylissy @mitch84

Forgot to say something important. There is a hidden notice at Google console where you've setup the API key. You know that notices with small letters which nobody reads . API key needs some hours to be activated.

Hello,

Video Club ver. 1.0.2 released with:

1.- Fixes a bug (database error) when user tries to delete a video

2.- Modifies a phrase Video Upload Error with the correct Unable to Fetch Video. This caused confuses as many users thought that the error was on upload while it was on fetch data procedure.

3.- Added ability to user to edit Title, Slug, Text, Keywords, Thumbnail. First 4 as some providers are giving data in different character code which causes strange characters to appear, and thumbnail because in some old videos there is not thumbnail at all (in good quality), or just because some members may want to use another thumbnail.

To upgrade download ver. 1.0.2 and then upload video.php and video_usercp.php. Last import product-videoclub.xml. Don't forget to check overwrite.

Tomorrow I'll release a new upgrade with some SEO improvements and some design fixes.

Thank you for using Video Club
Chris

Thanks Chris ... upgraded to 1.0.2 ...

The delete function is now causing another "fatal error"...

For privacy, I've sent it to you in PM...

Also, it would be nice if the "blue" type colours you're using were simply BLACK, which would make the appearance better in custom styles...

Regards,
Doug
