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 think that you must contact your hosting provider to get advices.

No its was not CMOD. As I say above it works now.
COMODO firewall sees the embed code or frame.. and there are security rules in my server, so that why error 403.
Any way I inserted the id xxx error for exempt and hope all ok from now on.


I am translating it in Greek

Thanks

now i see the server path should be the problem because its wrong. I just use the default server path of the mod.

Vbulletin DOCUMENT_ROOT /home/myname/public_html/www.spyidea.com

Please see what wrong on my path
/home/myname/public_html/www.spyidea.com/videoclub/thumbs

I think am making mistake on the path address because my forum is installed at Addon Domain directory and not on the public folder.

Can you correct the path for me

Currently there are is no PRO version. Actually never had PRO versions. Step by step, I'll add all those features (max in 30 days), and when they'll be ready, I'll decide if I start selling a PRO version or I will include them in the free version.

1.- Views count only for logon users EXCEPT the video owner. Allowing guests (or the owner) to count views then the counter looses the value. The owner will goes there as not logon and will increase the counter to 1000 in just 10 minures.

2.- It can't be done as the system shows the users who liked it.

Don't forget that is a community addon which means that any mod must focus to make quest register in your site. If you allow them available to guest why to register? For example yesterday I registered in your site as ChrisTERiS just to see what is going wrong. If this was available to guest I should never register.

Your mod is really nice and i really appreciate your response. Though i wont mind if the views is been increase whe guest view videoes. Because this will attract other guest to click other video based on the many views.

Please if you can tell me what code to edit so views and like will be increased when guest view or click on like a video, just the same way it works on thread.

Because more views or likes will attract more video click.
Thanks in advance.

For Views: Open file video.php

Find (Lines 845-849):

// Count View
if ($userid > 0 && $userid <> $item["userid"])
{
	$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."videoclub_items SET views=views+1 WHERE id=$itemid");
}

Replace with:

// Count View
$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE ".TABLE_PREFIX."videoclub_items SET views=views+1 WHERE id=$itemid");

For Votes, sorry but there are many variables to edit, not only to php but also to template. Also modifying the code it will brings database errors when a guests tries to vote:
1.- During saving vote
2.- When tries to get the list of voters
