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/

They don't need to be uploaded separately. It just depends on your ftp program. The product is in the main folder.

I dont have a main folder, so im assuming you talking about the upload folder? and then mine is called product-goldbrick.xml not product-goldbrick-7.xml and its not importing it even though its there in my goldbrick folder on my server?

WORKS great in my 3.6.8 now. Only question is that there's a option in the gold brick options for usergroups and it's blank.

Thanks killer hack!
