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/

Upgrade from 1.4 to 1.5 not so smooth.
Highslide scripts not loading, looks like the Highslide paths are messed up or something(not sure)

The MOVIE MEDIA option works though, its the image viewer attachments and inline that fails to load. The inline option displays boxes with the words |Highslide JS| in them and the link statusbar displays the following

javascript:hs.expanders[11].cancelLoading()

Suddenly this is not working for me.

The GB option *does* show up in the new thread area below the editor otherwise. I even re-uploaded the plugin (overwriting), but that did not fix it. Permissions are turned on for the usergroups also.

GB is enabled in VB options and so are all the extensions.

I using VB version 3.6.10

I setup the mod as mentioned in the instructions. But when I enable the plug in for product-goldbrick.xml I get the following error when viewing a page that has the media on it. I am trying to play a .wmv file that is on my server.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ')' in /home/*******public_html/multifam/client/goldbrick/plugins/bbcode_create.php on line 53

What should I do?

[nix]

Look at the Goldbrick Requirements. They're sort of required.

[bostton1]

hye nix is the update going to include [IMG] tags to goldbrick? when is the update going to be released?

Great Hack, but it doesn't work really well.
I uploaded all the files, did everything i had to, but i don't even see the M button.
I can only play youtube movies, which i don't want to because i wanted this hack to show mms://.....wmv files.
As in streaming video.
Can you hack do it?

[nix]

There is no M button. This isn't anymedia.

Yes it can play wmv files.

I just installed this, its a great alternative to having html turned on. It can get really annoying once people start posting all kinds of random code allover the place.
