Major Additions - Goldbrick Audio/Video Media System

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:

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/

I really love this mod. I would love to install it on my board but it will not work with my language. Can you suggest something that might get it working for a RTL language?

When I post the link. It get posted on the left side. it will not change position even if language is change to RTL where the clip or image should be right aligned.

Thank you in advance for any kind of help you might provide..

I also have this error message when posting (in the redirect screen):

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /goldbrick/includes/class_goldbrick.php on line 526

What I need to do to fix this?

is your PHP running in safemode? just a suggestion from the error message, not sure if that really has anything to do with it.

I upgraded and now highslide doesn't work. Whenever an image is clicked or youtube video ic clicked to expand it just links to the URL of the image or video.

EDIT: that problem above is for old media posted.

Now for new threads, nothing happens at all when media is posted.

Uninstalled. Then got this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /homepages/42/d160576952/htdocs/forums/admincp/plugin.php(1497) : eval()'d code on line 1

----
I deleted all files and uninstalled, and luckily I still have 1.4 on my desktop. Re-installed 1.4 and works like a charm.
