Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.7
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:
Quote:
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:
Quote:
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.

- any potential serverload issues for big boards? (does it add many queries)
- php5? doh! what happens with php4..it just not work at all?
- usergroup based permissions?
- youtube like interface would be AWESOME!! can't wait for that one.

-One of goals of this was to write it for big boards. If you have vb's postcache on there are no queries for viewing. If you have it turned off, all the media info is stored in the database so it won't have to retrieve it with each view.
-Goldbrick was written with php5 new class additions.
- Yep. Individual forum permissions also. For video sites you don't want to allow just remove them from the sites folder. Extensions permission are the Goldbrick section.
- Yup.
I've noticed some phrases that still need to be done. I'm doing those now.

awesome. thx!
srry on more question:
- isn't this gunna conflict with 3.7 lightbox? how's that work?
Suggestion:
would love to see this with somekinda HIDE (with permissions) mod.
since this opens up so many opportunities and incentives to upload directly to our site (a good thing!) ...it also would be great to have control of how they download/access as well.
eg: need to post before can see the download for an mp3. etc
in any case... great work!! can't wait for this to go gold. (as in not beta...as opposed to goldbrick. lol )
