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

And yes the interface will be the same. I'll just add Username which I removed to this one as it has no sense to have username in profile page.

Is there any way I can have a single CMS widget? I'd like one "The Latest" to show on the side. I feel more than that for me is overkill on my layout, I'd rather keep most of the media on the media page itself. I can see how media sites can use a TOP VIDEOS widget, but others simply want to save space with single units. An additional Option would be to choose which category shows on the widget allowing for a "Featured" Video widget. Not sure how difficult that would be though.

I've seriously visited this thread about 20x times a day for the last 2 days hoping to see the CMS and Forum Sideblock added... lmao, I'm torturing myself here.

Maybe you're right. 48 hours appear to be a long time for someone who wants something simple. But stay in my shoes and think:

1. I don't use to release simple things. I want to release something that will be useful to you (with the simple requirements) but on the same time to be useful to those with complicated requirements. To make the long story short. I'll not release a ready widget. I'll add in admincp a block generator. What it means?:
   1. You can select categories (All, or one, or multiple).
   2. You can select user (All or specific)
   3. You can select usergroup (All or specific)
   4. You can select type (Latest or Top)
   5. You can select the amount of videos to show
   6. And finally you can select if the code will appears in the screen (to copy+past it eg in vBadvanced blocks), or to AUTO create/insert the CMS widget or Forum block. This means that you'll not do anything manual. All will be automatic.
2. Except this mod, I've another 50+ as you can see at https://www.teriakis.com/ As you can see clicking My Shop, still I was unable to find time even to list all my mods there.
3. I'm working in a Forum module for WHMCS. The code is ready, but need to finish the responsive interface.
4. I'm working in 2 custom mods.

And unfortunatelly the day has just 24 hours

Your site is looking VERY nice btw! and I understand completely, which is why I wasn't posting trying to bug you every moment either lol... just refreshing in silence hahaha. Your site is not done yet either right? looking forward to being able to check out some of the other products there. Thanks for the detailed response as well... just by that it shows you are very particular in what you do, so I'll show more patience and appreciation myself. Can't argue with a perfectionist... I'm the same way with my projects, I refuse to do the bare minimum if there is room for improvement. Thanks for everything you do here at vb.org

ver. 1.4.0 released with a nice new feature. Block Generator. You asked for a widget to show it in CMS page or in Forum sidebar. I'm giving you a Swiss knife to build almost any type of widget you want without to do nothing more than mouse clicks.

Available Options:

• Select Category (All or Specific)
• Exclude Categories
• User (All or Specific separated them by comma)
• Usergroups (All or Specific separated them by comma)
• Show Newest or Most Viewed or Most Liked
• Set the number of characters of title (to avoid long titles).
• How many videos to show
• Block Title
• Choose to create widget for:
  • CMS
  • Forum
  • Both

Click Save and that's all. Widgets are ready. So simple. Only for CMS widgets you need an short extra work to add it in the Layout. Sorry but this is something that can't be done automatically. I'm not mind reader to know where you want to add it

To upgrade:

1. Download version 1.4.0
2. Upload
   1. admincp/videoclub_admin.php
   2. includes/xml/cpnav_videoclub.xml
   3. videoclub/includes/functions_blocks.php
3. Import product-videoclub.xml

After all go to Video Club-> Block Generator and start ...playing with blocks

You got the point .... Yes, I'm. Actually perfectionmaniac. Just don't ask me if it helped me in my life or not. Started having doubts if perfectionist is advantage.

By the way, Block Generator is out there

Christos,

changing the total Videos to show from 5 to for example 2 in cms doesn't work.
After saving is again 5.

Do you mean that you created a block with 5 videos and then tried to make a new one with 2 videos? This is impossible. Block generator is a one pass procedure. Just creates blocks. If you want to change them, then, you must edit them from Widgets menu or Forum blocks menu.

Trying to change them from block generator you create a new block. Unless if you prefer to create new and then delete the old ones.

No. You misunderstand me.

And there are many PHP-Warnings in Forum like this:
