How about one for Godtube.com? I asked weeks ago. I'd do it myself but I'm not a coder. Thanks.

Doftube doesnt have an api. As of right now, we have no way to accept urls from that hoster. Not sure if it will be in 1.2, but in a future release, we may allow hosters without an api.

It's able to integrate video hosters without an api, but it would be very hard (this would take some hours)

Yes, that seems to be a bug. But only the adnministrator can see the "location unknown" message.

I'll fix this for the next release.

Hi Friends,
I would like to make a limit like "minimum 10 posts" before anybody can post a video, is this something possible???

One thing that comes to my mind is to create a new user-group like video-uploader and give "upload video" permissions to that group. But I am not sure, how the "registered users" automatically becomes members of that other group as well once the required post-count has reached and how to display the message to the end users like - "you need to post 10 threads before you can upload videos".

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Look in the ACP -> Promotion. With this you can auto-move users to groups.

I don't think it's ncessary to add such a feature to our script -> it's a default feature of the vB

I like this mod best of all the 3.7 videomods. Installed and nominated

My homepage seems to be showing only the left column. Is there anyway to fix this?
