Major Additions - Video-Directory Remixed

This mod has been rewritten for vB4x here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240677

This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.

What is this mod?

This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.

Basic Feature Listing:

• Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
• Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
• Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
• Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
• Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
• Category profiles for videos.
• Contribution profiles for users.
• Keyword profiles for tag cloud.
• Built in comment system for videos.
• Search function for titles and descriptions.
• RSS feed of videos.

Product Demo:

http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php

Installation Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
5. Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.

NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.

Upgrade Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
5. Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
   • You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.

NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.

Roadmap for the Future:

• Moderation
• Favorites
• Playlists

Don't forget to click INSTALL!

Thanks ArnyVee just got done editing the time of 60 vids on my site Uploaded since yesterday!

Just gotta figure out how to move the tag cloud and why it isn't working .. and I'll be good to go!

[Katelynn]

Got another error I see?

On the comments, only some of the avatars are showing up, not all of them?

For instance, I am admin and mine isn't showing up ... some regular members are showing up and some "other" groups are showing up .. but not all?

Thanks ..

I would have preferred that you just asked me to include the changes in my module instead of re-distributing a slightly modified version.

You wanted a .module file instead of an .xml file... Jaxel already re-posted that within this thread. Your problems go beyond just importing a file.

It does not matter if he responded within minutes or not at all; he should not have redistributed the module without at least asking me.

Try this file if you are still getting the videotag error... NO NEED TO INSTALL.

I Confirm the SQL Error on vB373 on Upgrade and after Replacing this File in "includes" Folder, the Video Directory Works Fine.

(Is Important to Remember the Step on Rebuilding the Categories by the process specified by Jaxel for them to be Displayed; you have to Edit and Save Each One of the Categories for them to be Displayed because some Groups Permissions need to be confirmed that way).

(I also noticed some Extra Fields for Group Permissions, so is necessary to check them for each UserGroup).

Great Mod Jaxel. Thank You For Sharing It. :up::up::up:

Nominated for MOTM. :up::up::up:

My Best Regards.

For Your Next Release, it would be nice to have the Option to Auto-Generate Tags for the Videos; it can check the Title of the Videos and generate the Tags (checking each word to see if the tag already exists).

(There's a Mod to Auto-Generate Tags for Threads, I guess the code should be similar for the Videos).

My Best Regards. :up:
