Major Additions - Video Gallery - Share Videos! (From Any Website)

Current Version: Beta 3 (Updated October 31st)

NOTE: I will take this hack out of it's BETA stage soon! Please report any features you would like to see, or any bugs that you encounter!

This hack will add a video gallery to your forums accessible at the location: www.yourforumurl.com/forums/videogallery.php

To add a video users must specify a unique videoID code and select a "Video Type" from the list of available options. This hack comes included with "Video Types" for Google Video and YouTube. A "Video Type" consists basically of just the Embedding code for that video sharing site with each instance of the Unique Video ID replaced with the text: $code. When the video is displayed the text $code is replaced with the UniqueID specified by the user who added the video.

You can add new video types to accommodate almost any video sharing website. There are detailed instructions written within the hack to help you through this process.


Features Added in Beta Version 3
Pagination has been made more robust.
Templates have been tweaked for visual appeal.
Comment Writer and Admins can now delete comments.

Features added in Beta Version 2

1) A means to move videos from one category to another.

Please click install, and ask for support!!!! I will give it.

Is this something similar to phpdirector (www.phpdirector.co.uk)?

The instructions on how to add other websites like break.com is on the Add Type page of the hack.

Their embed code for video with videoID Mzg5NjYx is pasted below, so you would replace every instance of Mzg5NjYx in the embed code with $code and then past that into the Video Type Code field on the Add Type Page of the hack.

<object width="464" height="392"><param name="movie" value="http://embed.break.com/Mzg5NjYx"></param><embed src="http://embed.break.com/Mzg5NjYx" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="464" height="392"></embed></object><br><font size=1><a href="http://www.break.com/index/cool-bar-trick.html">Cool Bar Trick</a> - Watch more <a href="http://www.break.com/">free videos</a></font>

I really ought to make this phrased so that you crazy non-english speakers can understand the hard-coded error messages, ect.

Just out of curiosity though... do you non-english speakers use the vbulletin phrase system? It has always seemed so bulky and difficult to use to me.

[edenx]

Please phrase it !!!!!!!!!!!

I updated to Beta 2 on my site.. so, it now shows the newer features in the above demo link...

BTW.. you are doing an awesome job with this mod so far... I've been waiting for something like this for a long time... I was going to start coding my own, but no need to now

:up::up: two thumbs up

Ability to create unlimited sub-categories and sub of sub-categories?

Looks like a very nice mod.

[Attilitus]

Updated to beta version 3. Let me know if you encounter any bugs.

I would also like to see sub categories, and possible implementation with AME - give the users the option to simply paste the URL in to a post instead of choosing a "Video Type"

[Spin Doctor]

would love to see the videos appear in alphabetical order! great hack otherwise
