Major Additions - Video-Directory Remixed

This mod has been rewritten for vB4x here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=240677

This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.

What is this mod?

This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.

Basic Feature Listing:

• Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
• Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
• Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
• Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
• Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
• Category profiles for videos.
• Contribution profiles for users.
• Keyword profiles for tag cloud.
• Built in comment system for videos.
• Search function for titles and descriptions.
• RSS feed of videos.

Product Demo:

http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php

Installation Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
5. Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.

NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.

Upgrade Procedure:

1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
2. Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
4. Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
5. Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
   • You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.

NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.

Roadmap for the Future:

• Moderation
• Favorites
• Playlists

Don't forget to click INSTALL!

Those are not per-video APIs, those are category APIs. The APIs required for this mod must be for ONE and only one video at a time.

Just a tip for those getting issues on CMPS link in Navbar.

You will have to edit a plugin to make it work properlly and not template.

I've been using Survivor mod for sometime and upgraded for this one (no problem at all) at Survivor's last version to make navbar link to work on CMPS all i did was add /forums/ (or folder name were your forums are located) on the line video.php at navbar_videolink template. Now with this new version this template became orphan (and useless) and found out this function is take care by a plugin and not a template any longer.

In fact it's kinda same edition to make it work but for newbies it's gonna be a little difficult.

Not sure if this has been reported before, but the time duration overlay (over the thumbnail images and the like) is misaligned in IE6. In some places, it's just a little off (not completely over the image itself), but in others, it's way off. Anyone have a fix for this?

[TWTCommish]

Also, having trouble finding information about what needs to be done to remove the link and copyright notice. I saw something vague about contacting the original hack author, but it sounded like speculation. What's the verdict there?

[ArnyVee]

Hey there TWTCommish, the way to remove the link would be to send a PM to Surviver (original mod's developer) and he can give you the specifics.

[TWTCommish]

Thanks, Arny.

Anyone know anything about the IE6 alignment bug?

[kawe]

[sawatdee]

A great mod. Thank you very much.

In order to encourage more people to visit the video directory, is it possible to show latest comments and/or videos in the main forum when you click on "latest posts"?

Thanks
