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

Yes, I delete the forum-block.
And I changed the number of videos in the cms-widget-code to one.

DESC LIMIT 1

Removed my old widgets and build a set for fresh new with 2 videos. Work fine as you can see at:
https://www.cmsbulletin.com/demo/vb42/content.php

The "5" that you're seeing after saving is because you're redirecting in the form again to build (if you want) more blocks. And the form has the default 5. But this is for the new form and not for the one that you created before.

Ok I understand.

Available Options:

• Select Category (All or Specific)
• Exclude Categories
• User (All or Specific separated them by comma)
• Usergroups (All or Specific separated them by comma)
• Show Newest or Most Viewed or Most Liked
• Set the number of characters of title (to avoid long titles).
• How many videos to show
• Block Title
• Choose to create widget for:
  • CMS
  • Forum
  • Both

Click Save and that's all. Widgets are ready. So simple. Only for CMS widgets you need an short extra work to add it in the Layout. Sorry but this is something that can't be done automatically. I'm not mind reader to know where you want to add it

To upgrade:

1. Download version 1.4.0
2. Upload
   1. admincp/videoclub_admin.php
   2. includes/xml/cpnav_videoclub.xml
   3. videoclub/includes/functions_blocks.php
3. Import product-videoclub.xml

After all go to Video Club-> Block Generator and start ...playing with blocks

I'm at a loss for words... This MOD is brilliant! An amazing surprise to log in and see it posted! lol Can't thank you enough! Do you take custom paid mod requests btw?

Sidenote, Being a perfectionist IS an advantage, only when you perfect "balancing" your perfections

I'm just getting around to testing, and I'm having the same problem I had before with the first version where when I click the like button it doesn't register, there was a way it was fixed, I just can't remember how.

***edit, actually the last issue was the button disappearing after click, which was remedied over a permissions issue during your build (the first media gallery mod), this issue is the button is not registering at all when being clicked, permissions have been double checked.

...
additionally, where can I find the CSS to change that bar color behind the "I like it" button?

[concepts]

got it...

it was this jquery code in my navbar template

<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

all I'd like to do now is:

1. Change the color of the black bar on the "I like it" / These Members Like this" bar..
2. Make view count for the view area on the actual media block itself increase when even guests view (you helped someone with this, but it only increased for the sideblock. (additionally, this would go for the forum and cms block as well).
3. on the forum and cms blocks, change the text "YouTube, Vimeo, Etc By" to "Shared By...
4. Remove the upload provider names on the main media page that shows below the videos.
5. Have the option 'Not to display Views and/or likes'

BTW... I'll be donating again man, I really appreciate the effort you put into this. I'm going to show what I did with your product once I finish the above changes, I did a complete redesign of the layout to be more compatible with mobile and ipad screens and suit my sites look. Hope you like it!

For "These Members Like it" only you can edit td.wholiked in videoclub.css (ver. 1.4.1)

Added a new setting for this in version 1.4.1

Didn't understood. Views are count only when someone visits the video page.

4. Remove the upload provider names on the main media page that shows below the videos.

Yes I do, but I can say that my rates are a bit higher than others. But this also applies to quality. PM me ff you need custom work.
