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/

Goldbrick!

Major update. Most of the changes for now are all behind the scenes. This version only supports PHP 5 for now.

See the mod details for the info.

More features are on the way.

Yuhuuu! I downloaded first but it wont work on my PHP4!

[Adrian Schneider]

Yay for goldbricking!!

huge thanks goes to Sir Adrian for creating the framework. He can't cook soup but he sure can code.

... I guess that's a compliment.

Yuhuuu! I downloaded first but it wont work on my PHP4!

Get with the times! PHP 4 is ancient!

[iogames]

Ok, ok... I will do it

mdocea [19:10]: If you give me your main domain name I can check to see what version of PHP you are on
[19:11]: If you are not on a PHP5 server. We can migrate your account to a PHP5/MYSQL5 server. During migration your website will experience downtime. If there is a specific time that you would like us to migrate you can specify that and we will try to migrate during that time. Before we can start this we will need you to go to helpdesk..com and open a support ticket don't foget to provide us with your domain name and account password. Please make note that if your php scripts were configured for php4 they will probably have problems on php5.

[Sighs] I got four PHP4 paid scripts

[nix]

I don't see why it a php 4 script wouldn't work in php5.

Installation Instructions??

I uploaded the folder 'goldbrick' to my forum directory and imported the xml. Is this correct?

Not working for me. Can you include some screenshots of what I should be seeing in admincp?

Does this work with vBulletin 3.7b2 ?

The product shows up in vBulletin options but nowhere else.

[nix]

It works with vb 3.7. I posted it in there also.

The instructions are just what you did. Make sure you up load the includes folder also. You should see options in vb options and then in usergroups and forums. Sounds like you didn't upload the include folder.

This is not working. I disabled anymedia, now all videos within [media]..[/media] code no longer work. I uploaded goldbrick and nothing happens. I simply input this in the body of the post and select "use goldbrick media.." which is a bit confusing since its on the very bottom.

I tried this in the test url too, didn't work

<embed src="http://godtube.com/flvplayer.swf" FlashVars="viewkey=1b5bd6e3e034d00b4f73" wmode="transparent" quality="high" width="330" height="270" name="godtube" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="sameDomain" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" /></embed>

I tried any youtube embed code, it did work.

Please try to get godtube.com working, even for anymedia. I'd appreciate it.
