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/

OK - well I just tried extracting and it worked this time. Something was funky earlier and I'm not sure what...

however, I'm still having the issue with YouTube...click on it to play and it just says 'Failed...'

If I click on the 'Click here to download it' link it takes me to the right link on YouTube even and the video plays.

I tried re-uploading even and disabling and re-enabling the mod too.

Make sure that you've unchecked all of the items under the "Use AnyMedia Player for which video sites?" section of this Mod's Control Panel Options and that Youtube is checked in the "Supported video sites" section ...

Yea check that setting. I'm going to take that out in the next release so its not a problem anymore. I also changing some things around to make it less of a hassle to work.

What in the world!? Why did it cause the problem all of a sudden? I'm confused....

Either way, thank you for being patient with me about it and helping me fix it!

first off thanks for updating the hack this is easily the best hack going for media players. one small problem since the old player was installed first i now have the media button for the original one showing but now its twice any1 tell me what i can do ? btw im using 3.6.4 if it makes any difference thanks

[Dannyloski]

RedGTiVR6,

No problem ... So it works now for you, correct?

Dermo-MIO,

Just edit the editor_toolbar_on Template and remove one of the following codes:

<!-- AnyMedia BBCode By Crist Chsu Start -->
				<if condition="$show['anymedia_bbcode']">
				<td><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/separator.gif" width="6" height="20" alt="" /></td>
				<td><div class="imagebutton" id="{$editorid}_cmd_wrap0_{$vboptions[anymediatag]}"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_editor]/media.gif" width="21" height="20" alt="$vbphrase[wrap_media_tags]" /></div></td>
				</if>
<!-- AnyMedia BBCode By Crist Chsu End -->

And that should take car of removing one of them from the Toolbar, so it only shows one and not two. Now, make sure that you've uploaded the media.gif to the correct folder on your website via FTP, has to be FORUMDIRECTORY/images/editor/ (if you have it like that and it doesnt show up, try FORUMDIRECTORY/images/)

Yea do what Dannyloski said. You already had the template edit so you didn't need it again.

Does anyone use the Collapse feature? Or any of the torrent stuff? I'm in the middle of rewriting this hack to make it easier to update and add sites for me. I'm also looking to change the way it embeds so the javascript file wont be needed anymore. I would also like to restyle it.

[Dannyloski]

^ I sometimes use the Collapse feature, so if you can keep it, it would be cool - if not its cool too ... dont use it too much, just sometimes ...
