New Posting Features - VB AnyMedia Player / Media Sites (youtube, google and many more)

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/

Upgraded to GodlBrick seems to work quite well(love the background dimming function!). However, I lost my anymedia editor icon though. Does the mod create a new new or do we have to manually add one?

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.

Just to clarify things, here's exactly what I did:

The goldbrick zip file contains 3 folders in the upload directory named 'goldbrick', 'players' and 'includes'

My forum resides in a subdirectory named 'forums' which already contains a folder named 'includes/xml'

I uploaded the goldbrick files so that the directory structure looks like this:

forums/goldbrick/(All subdirectories and files)
forums/players/(All subdirectories and files)
forums/includes/xml/bitfield_goldbrick.xml


Import product file: product-goldbrick-6.xml


I've done this twice now and all I see in usergroups are 3 radio buttons in a blank box between the usergroup box and the forum viewing permissions box. I have anymedia installed on a different site and follwed the exact same install procedure and everything worked fine. I have no idea what to do next.

[jdelasko]

OK. Nevermind. The problem was between keyboard and chair. Once I Imported the correct product file, product-goldbrick-7.xml, everything works fine

I'm really confused here. I re-downloaded / re-uploaded anymedia which your file shows as 3.1b3 but it is still not working for godtube.com

Now, I still do not have any idea how goldbrick is supposed to work. Do you just copy/paste the permalink into the body of the thread and thats it? No bbcodes? It doesn't work for me if I use goldbrick (w/ anymedia disabled).

I simply put this in the body:

http://www.godtube.com/view_video.ph...e619e7036fe597

It just shows up as a link. Even worst, none of the video posts (posted while using anymedia) are working now even though anymedia is disabled and goldbrick enabled.
