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/

Looks like a promising project. Thanks for all your hard work!

But I have a couple of problems.

1. When I upload wmv-files as attachment the thumbnails look like this:


Could it be possible to make it display the first frame in the wmv-file instead?

2. The "thumbnail" doesn't render on vBadvanced portal either.

Have I done something wrong?

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING

I thought I'd take a look at this and it has one very nasty feature not mentioned anywhere. If someone posts a youtube video on your site this product sets a PORN COOKIE in the header of the page with the youtube video and it disables warning messages.

If you have already installed this product look in your "goldbrick/includes/sites/youtube.php" file for example and REMOVE THE FOLLOWING ASAP (else Google will take notice and hurt your site rankings... and thats IF your host provider doesn't take offense first and ban your site)

'header'	=> 'Set-Cookie: 18plus=1; expires=Wed, 25-Oct-2017 02:49:15 GMT; path=/; domain=.megarotic.com',
	'activeregex' => array('#\<div class\="errorBox"\>#i' => false)

megarotic.com is a PORN site and this plugin sets a cookie on user computers who visit your website that won't expire until 2017.

You've been warned, check your files asap.

Hi,

Someone on my board has this error when posting :

PHP Code:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare goldbrick_hook_google_complete() 


Do you know a fix about this?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Vous avez vu le nouveau Google Insights for Search http://www.google.com/insights/search/ ?

C'est assez int?ressant, on peut extraire des informations valables sur la
France et depuis 2004 ? nos jours. Voici les 3 principales options de l'outil :

1) Volume "search term" permet de voir l'?volution des recherches et de
comparer plusieurs recherches. En lan?ant Google Insights avec "youporn"
et "sexe", on se rend compte que les visiteurs fran?ais tapent dans google
"youporn" plus souvent que le mot cl? "sexe" depuis d?but 2008. ?tonnant,
non?

2) "Location" permet, apr?s avoir choisi la France comme territoire, de voir
les mots cl?s les plus recherch?s. Il est m?me possible de choisir la cat?gorie
pour afiner les mots cl?s les plus recherch?s. Il y a de nombreuses
cat?gories pour le mainstream mais malheuresement pas de cat?gorie
"adulte". On peut ?galement voir les mots cl?s ayant la plus forte progression.

3) "Time range" donne des r?sultats similaires ? l'option 2, la diff?rence est
que l'on choisi d'abord la p?riode analys?e. C'est int?ressant pour voir les
recherches les plus fr?quentes ou m?me celles qui ont eu la plus forte
croissance les 7 derniers jours, pour savoir de quoi bloguer sur le
mainstream par exemple.

Conclusion : L'option 1 est la plus int?ressante pour les webmasters adultes
mais les options 2 et 3 peuvent permettre d'extraire des informations int?ressantes
pour les webmasters actifs sur le mainstream.

Pour aller plus loin, je vous invite ? visiter la section aide de Google Insights
