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/

Okay, I changed the Cached Posts Lifespan to 0, refreshed, still showing the media tags and links rather than videos/pictures on my vbAdvanced homepage.

I rebuilt the post cache... now ALL of my past posts are showing the tags and URLs.

Reset the Cached posts lifespan to 20 days, refreshed, and it's showing the media tags and URLs.

Any ideas how to get all the previously posted media posts and threads to display correctly?

Edit: I don't really care about the home page too much, I just won't have it show those threads. But I really really need to get my past posts back to showing the videos rather than the URL's. I'm sure I just don't know how to do it... but help please. Thank you!

Goldbrick needs php 5. Those errors your recieving are related to php 4 not understanding some of php 5 features.

The server should have picked up that it was php5 though. I'll rename the php files to .php5 and see what it comes back with


Edit: Not a penny. I've had to upload a .htaccess file telling the server to set php5 as default and it works ok. Quick note - in the CP section there's a spelling error - "Defualt Title for Media"
