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/

I guess the part of me moving and not in town to help for a FREE MOD doesn't count. Now I see why people stop putting mods out.

I'll wait until somebody comes up with something better or do it myself once I've sorted my own site out.

:down:

(and by the way.......yes I know how to install it. My site is full of parse errors now)

Maybe you should of read that part that its php 5 only.

I'm not sure how many times I have to say that THERE IS NO M BUTTON.

For a start I'm on php5, secondly I think asking for developers to wait until they have completed their project 100% including install instructions isn't really a bad request.

I know you all work hard etc etc, but it's no good saying "here you go thousands of people, a new program to try out" then not supplying correct lines of installment.

Bit like buying a car with no keys and having to hack the loom.

If you're having problems PM info to your forum and I'll take a look.

It's in beta stage so it's really up to the user to use it on a live site. I've got it installed a couple of sites with no issues. Most of the problems I've seen are other mods conflicting with Goldbrick. If you would like you can also PM and I'll take a look at your site.

Found a small bug or conflict.

Screenshot, the "option" is a giant, black bold font type/size. GB is causing this as my web developer firefox addon shows it caused by this portion of the css

See other screenshot when GB is disabled.

legend (line 230)
{
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 11pt;
font-weight: bold;
color: Black;
}

How do I safely fix this without interfering with GB too?

Thanks nix

[nix]

just delete that line.

[Chadi]

You mean the entire portion?

legend (line 230)
{
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 11pt;
font-weight: bold;
color: Black;
}

What file is this in? I cannot find it in default.css under goldbrick directory

[Chadi]

I apologize, I found it in styles directory not css, gb.css

Thanks.

[tackebong]
