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/

Ok, this looks like an awesome product, but I can't get it (version 1.5) to work completely as advertised. I am running vbulletin 3.6.8, have php 5 on my server. I can get links to Flash sites like YouTube to put up a thumbnail and play the video. However, GB does not parse video attachments uploaded to my server (just get a link to download the file as with other attachments). I have added typical media filetypes to the Attachments allowed. So, I'm wondering what I haven't done that I should?

After disabling all working fine

u said that we dont need to use bbcode but actually I had to !!

coz when I just put the youtube , goldbrik didnt work !

I needed to put the media bbcode !

This doesn't seem to support m4a which is what itunes is saving their songs as.

VBSEO users need to exclude:

class_goldbrick.php
highslide.js
swfobject.js
functions_public.php
functions_goldbrick.php
goldbrick_post.php

nix: I think the quick edit problem really needs to be fixed.

Question for anyone that might know. When I first installed this Mod IE users had to double and sometimes triple click on the play button of videos to get it to begin. I found a post either in this thread or 3.7 that mentioned a fix and it had to do with omitting a "/". I had to re-tweak some settings and removed and reinstalled GB. Well, this apparently undid what I did. So now IE users have to click play multiple times to start the video. FF users are fine of course. Any ideas?

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /homepages/7/***********/htdocs/br-eeze/goldbrick/plugins/bbcode_create.php on line 53

I'm getting this and I am using 3.6.9

if you don't have PHP 5 then it won't work...

When I find it, I certainly will. I should have copied it to txt file like I normally do when I find a fix I need to remember.
