Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

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/

Ok, trying to do this, but this keeps coming up:

vBulletin Message

We attempted to write a test file to /path/to/your/attachment/directory, but we were unsuccessful. Please verify that the web server has write/delete permissions for this path.

Not sure where to find this directory...I thought it was the 'Attach' file in my FTP, but I changed the permissions, and the storage type still won't change. Any ideas?

[nix]

You'll have to add the path yourself. You can make it any folder you want. It will have to be the absolute path also. So like

/home/usr/

or however yours is set up.

[deezelpope]

Thank you for your patience...I'm not exactly experienced at this sort of thing.

And I've NO idea where, exactly, to set it up...like off of forum root/ (in my case, community/) or where, and what am I supposed to call it? Like community/attachment directory or what?

I'm sorry for my confusion and frustration.

[nix]

Your path will look something like this.

/home/deeze/public_html/forums/

If you got into your adminCP and I believe its under the last item you'll see PHPinfo. Select that and you'll find your forum path there.

If you need help PM me your forum info and I'll help you out.
