Major Additions - Goldbrick Audio/Video Media System

Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.7

Thanks to all who nominated or voted this for MOTM.

Some of you might be looking for Anymedia. Well this has replaced it. It's a total rewrite from the ground up. A huge thanks goes to Sir Adrian for creating the framework. He can't cook soup but he sure can code.

Why the name goldbrck?

From Wikipedia:

Goldbricking, in today's terms, generally refers to staff who use their work internet access for personal reasons while maintaining the appearance of working.

From Urban Dictionary:

Goldbricking: To loaf or goof around on the job. Supposedly an old union term describing laborers (or more specifically, bricklayers) who were going so slow, it was as if each brick were made of solid gold. One can alse be referred to as a "goldbricker".

Dude, I spent all day at work goldbricking - surfing the web, making long distance phone calls - basically just picking my ass.

Goldbrick uses the following third party Products:

• Highslide Javascript. I've packaged it with the 3.1 download. Please read the license agreement on highlide's website. In short it's free for non-commercial use. http://vikjavev.no/highslide/
• - - -
• The media player and mp3 player are from http://www.jeroenwijering.com/

Can this be fixed?

edit gb_usercp_profile template

change

    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />

to

    <input type="hidden" name="s" value="$session[sessionhash]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="$bbuserinfo[securitytoken]" />

Thanks much. This killed the error. However, I am wondering where/how I am going to see it in the profile? It did not show anything.

I can not begin to describe how dang good this product is! Kudos to those that had anything to do with it.

[sweeps78]

Does anyone know how to work this plugin without using BBCode as is stated in the docs?

[rapidphim]

just paste the link into your post. That's it.

Is there a way to turn off "Profile Video". I can't seem to find a way to actually stop it from showing up.

Also ... in the future will it be able to play MP3's instead of just Video on the Profiles ?

[rapidphim]

you can turn off the user profile Goldbrick video by editing the user group permission.

[Exitilus]

Tried that ... it still shows up O.o

I can not seem to get this mod to work.
