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/

What's new in Goldbrick?

• Complete code overhaul.
• Plays most media types.

Don't need the icon anymore. It will auto phrase the links. If you want to add media options you'll see them right under the attachment section.

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.

Download the zip again. Upload then import and override. Let me know if it works.

The blank phrases for usergroups is fixed in the new zip. I'll fix godtube for you tonight.

Just noticed some things. I am a first time user of this, so I am just trying to learn how everything works currently etc.

However what I did notice was, when you add say a youtube link to the post, and then you select use goldbrick and you have the goldbrick options, and then you save your thread, however if you edit your thread, and go to advanced options again, there is no more goldbrick options. Thought that was strange.

Yea I still have to add some features. The goldbrick options are more for non video sites.

Thanks, did that, no effect.
Also, I noticed that none of the highslide controls appear when highslide is active(images).

PS. I completely uninstalled anymedia before installing goldbrick

You can configure how the images are displayed in the highslide.js file. You can also use the right arrow to move between images and videos.

Nix, quick question. Are you fixing up godtube for anymedia or for goldbrick.

if its goldbrick, please explain how posting a video clip works.

Bbcodes or not? Just copy/paste the embed (or permalink) code in the post?

Please also note my previous post (below)

Goldbrick is also interferring with CES News hack
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showt...39#post1404839

Checked the ces news area on my site and getting this error after installing goldbrick

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /home/user/public_html/includes/ces_news_functions.php(51) : eval()'d code on line 1

Thanks.

Just the link. I'm uploading the fixed version now. So download the files again and then upload the files and import the product.

Not sure about the news problem. Looks like its using attachments.

[Chadi]

This is just not working. I upgraded goldbrick, uninstalled anymedia.

Now all previous posts show actual [media] bbcode in the post, publicly.

And, posting just links only shows just links in the post

Example:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=zCdZwitrNoY

All I see is just the hyperlink itself. I have all media extension options enabled too
