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/

Hello:

I installed this product but for some reason it doesnt seem to be working properly. Perhaps I missed some of the configuration options. I followed thei nstruction on the documention manual. However when I try and create a new post with a link to a youtube video for instance I get a little thumbnail of the video with the following text underneath it (see attachment):
click here to watch the video
Close
You need to upgrade your Flash Player

When I try do the same for a flash clip it shows the thumbnail of a big "M" with a play button in it, with the same text about needing to update the flash player. Although My browser has the lates flash player installed and I am using IE 7 not Firefox. I have attache a picture so you can see what the post looks like.

Any help at all would be appreciated. Thanx

my local wmv videos arent displayed

when will you release a new version?

Hey Nix! Thanks for the awesome (and much needed) upgrade to Crist's AMP! I've got just one major issue - and that's a big page of errors when I try to post a Porkolt video link. I'm assuming that this is probably caused by the 0kb porkolt.php file in the Sites folder? I downloaded and extracted several times, but it's the same each time!

Any help would be greatfully received!

How do I get this to work on Forum Home ?

I am able to parse other BBCode except this one.

Here is the code I am using:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php'); 

$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list()); 
$video = $bbcode_parser->do_parse($code);

I use hostgator and they also use php 5. Go to .htaccess and if you don't have it, create one. Add this in there

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 php

It should work. It does for me...

That will only work if your site is hosted on a server configured to use phpSuExec, but not all of them are... You could always ask HG support to move you to a PHP5 box - they've done that in the past for a couple of my clients.

Yes Hostgator should move you to a PHP 5 box if you ask them.

I posted something with a .gif attachment but it seems GB is not be used here, where it should be using the highslide feature.

I did enable yes on both Auto-detect the Attachment Type and Use Goldbrick Media system when uploading an attachment, then reposted a new post with the .gif file, same issue. Its not using highslide.

I have all options selected under Allowed Media Extensions
