Major Additions - Video Club (YouTUBE, Vimeo, DailyMotion etc)

Since 2006 I was serving community members with my Free Mods
But as this site will starts operating by the company,
I'm no willing to support them

** File Removed **


Video Club
Fetch Videos from many Providers with URL
since ver. 1.2.0 you can also embed any valid video code

Things to know !!!

• If your site is SSL and you try to show a video from a non SSL site, video should not works.
• If you can't show YouTUBE videos, most probably your API key is wrong. Be sure that you've setup correct the API key and it is ver. 3. Here is a good tutorial.
• If you see strange characters in the text, the problem is character encoding. Even in English, if you're using iso-8859-1 but the video provider uses UTF-8 should have some problems. But you can edit the text, so not so important issue.

Demo Installation
demouser1 / demopass1
demouser2 / demopass2
demouser3 / demopass3
PS: In my demo I've setup Disqus as commenting system. But it's up to you to setup Threads instead.

1.- What's this?

Video Club is a Video Gallery mod for your community. It's easy to use and has a nice interface. User just needs to enter a link to the video and set a category. All others done automatically. For comments supports Thread per video but also the well known Disqus external commenting system. I strongly recommend you to use Disqus as it's very social and soon you'll see an increment amount of pageviews.

2.- Video Providers (Websites)

• 5min.com
• Blip.tv
• Break.com
• Collegehumor.com
• Dailymotion.com
• Funnyordie.com
• Gametrailers.com
• Hulu.com
• Justin.tv
• Metacafe.com
• MySpace.com
• Ustream.tv
• Veoh.com
• Vimeo.com
• Screen.Yahoo.com
• YouTUBE.com
• ver. 1.2.0 NEW!! Now you can add manual any video code your want

3.- Comments

Not only one but 3 types for comments (plus an option to not use comments)

• Thread
• Disqus
• Ajax comments

4. Installation

1. Upload all files from upload folder to the folder where your vBulletin 4.2 is installed
2. CMOD 777 the directories
   1. videoclub/thumbs
   2. videoclub/thumbs/tmp
3. Login to your admincp and import the file product-videoclub.xml
4. Set Usergroup permissions
5. Set General Options according to your needs
   1. ** MOST IMPORTANT SETTINGS **
   2. Get a YouTUBE API key from https://console.developers.google.co...is/credentials
   3. Decide if you'll use Threads for comments or Disqus. If you'll use Disqus set your site at: https://disqus.com/admin/create/
   4. Set Server Path to Uploads !!!
6. If you want modify PM templates but don't touch anything between {}
7. Set the Categories

5.- PRO Version

After many years I decided to use PRO version not as a way not to earn money (I don't expect to have more than 10 sales), but rather to find a way to pay for some commercial scripts that I want to use in the PRO version (Distribution License). The follow features will be in the PRO version:

• Extra Providers
  • Facebook
  • LiveLeak.com
  • OpenLoadMovies.com
• Videoplayer with support for prevideo ads
• Better carousel for latest videos at top
• Video search in multiple providers
• Many notifications
• Brand free

I've checked all moderated areas, inboxes and the main Video Club page, but I see nowhere does that moderator get a message to review and click on something to approve a video.

Thanks again..

Maybe if you look at the most designated moderator area "Modcp"?

Wow!!!

I've never used that before and I can honestly say I would have never found it...

Why does this option not appear under the AdminCP area and for example, the options for Video Club that appear there?... or, under any of the "Moderation" approvals either in the AdminCP or on an Admin's "settings" page where they can also be approved... not important, but just curious as to the design reasoning...

Thanks..

Chris.. I can confirm that video review and approval, followed by a PM to the member who uploaded it, appears to work fine.. :up:

Separate thought on new features....

I can visualize a lot of members posting their videos to the wrong category....

If there could be a way for the Admin to EDIT and change the category a video was posted to, that would go a long way to help keep the Video Club library organized well. Other that that, I don't see a way of correcting mistakes like that ...

There are no hooks (places to add code) in Admincp and Modcp so the "First comes, first serves, last comes, last serves" exists

In my old sites I was having this page in frontend. But as most user wanted to follow vb standards, I moved it to modcp.

I'll see what I can do for this. Maybe in modcp when moderator approves them to be able to edit the category.

The best place would be at the main Video Library home screen where an Admin would notice that a video is clearly in the wrong category and he could then simply move it to the right one .. :up:

The text was there in previous versions but missing in the new template style. Import the attached file.

I'll test it when I get a chance and let you know if there's any problems ...

Chris...

You still have a problem importing videos with special characters....

You fixed the one where the Youtube description had "xxxx" quotations marks around words in it, but now any description that has a ' (apostrophe) seems to break the title import.

ie: Curator's Corner: British SMLE comes out just as Curator
