Vidiac vBulletin Integration

Vidiac vBulletin Integration v1.0
by titter

--- About ---------------------------------------------------------------
This will integrate the Vidiac Video Portal system into your vBulletin website.

You must signup with www.vidiac.com and follow all of their instructions to setup the CNAME to their site. This will not work if you do not have a Vidiac Video Portal, or if you try to redirect a subdomain. You must use a CNAME record.

--- Features ------------------------------------------------------------
Automatically resizing video section, resizes to the loaded content.

--- Installation --------------------------------------------------------
Follow install.txt found in the zip.

--- Demo ----------------------------------------------------------------
Live demos avaiable at:
http://www.mobmototb.com/forums/videos.php
http://www.boardingscene.com/videos.php

--- Notes ---------------------------------------------------------------
This will only work if you have your Vidiac setup with a CNAME record from your domain. All browsers block javascript cross-domain scripting unless you have the DOM reference placed in both pages. It is very important that your update the document.domain reference with your correct domain information, and it is placed both in your vidiac_videobits template, as well as the skin settings in your Vidiac portal.

This has been tested in FireFox and Internet Explorer, not tested in any other browsers.

I also wanted to point out to your guys, that you should update the player options as well. This is what my player looks like in my myspace.

http://www.myspace.com/cky47

Users can get the code for that player and more when they watch the videos.

Notice how they can see info on the video that the users typed and see more videos all from that one player. They did a really good job on this feature.

In firefox all OK, but in Internet explorer, Don?t see!!

URL: http://www.xboxers360.net/videos.php

My config:

<script type="text/javascript">
document.domain = "xboxers360.net";
</script>

<iframe width="100%" height="500"
id="videoframe" name="videoframe"
src="http://videos.xboxers360.net"

</iframe>

3.) Under the Site Skin (Look and Feel) section.

Add this script to the top of your pre-portal code:
<script type="text/javascript">
document.domain = "xboxers360.net";
</script>

What?s then problem??

[Cky47]

The only problem I noticd beside the users not being integrated... is that it uses a iframe, and now when users try to link to the page, they are instead linking to the videos page. Also if they use the thumbnail feature like this...

Click here to see Video

It links outsidethe vbulletin site, and now there is no link back to your site, unless you add one.

Maybe me and you can think of something titter... I would love to help.

First of all your not supposed to put
"Add this script to the top of your pre-portal code:"
In your pre portal section... leave that out.

But I am telling you it is working fine for me... which makes me want to say that you have some type of spam/ad blocker/ or some other plugin installed interfering.

Also what does your site look like normally not integrated...

I cant read spanish as well lol

[Cky47]

You mean how did I redirect to it?

You have to set up the CNAME record.

[titter]

Pablo try adding this to both the template, and the site skin look and feel:

<script language="VBScript">
document.domain = "xboxers360.net";
</script>

As far as using your own ads, you cannot. That is part of the Vidiac Video Portal, and why it is free for us to use. Goto www.vidiac.com for any questions or information about the Vidiac portal itself.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Also yes if you do not have access to setup CNAME redirects your hosting company will do it for you. This will not work otherwise.

[threat]

what link do i tell my hosting compnay to reidirect too?

also what is CNAME?

I installed it all, set up subdomain, its just the cname thing is confusing to me
