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/

Where exactly is this file gb_usercp_profile template? It dosen't seem to exist in the download I got.

Tom, are you using 1.5 or 1.8?
log on your admincp, style manager, style name, edit template,:

For version 1.5, goldbrick templates should listed right under forumrules, gb_usercp_profile should listed at the very last.

For version 1.8, goldbrick templates all located in its own folder, still under forumrules, double click on Goldbrick Templates, and you'll see them all.

I just downloaded the 1.5 version. I didn't know there was a 1.8? Is the 1.8 for Gold and where is it? Thanks

The flashvar link is wrong. I have vbseo installed. Could this be the issue?

1.8 is meant for gold version but not yet offcially released. It's still in beta testing stage. And here is where you can download it

Thanks my friend.

1.8 isn't adding the [media] to the bbcode automatically. instead it is using [url] which in turns makes in not work. Is this anyone else has an issue with it or did I over look something. I did a complete uninstall of 1.5 before the install of 1.8.

Did you add the mp3 extension to the allowed extension list to vbulletin? You also have to be using the flile system for vbulletin attachments. Make sure that path is also correct.

1.8 doesn't need that fix anymore.

the only difference between 1.8 and 1.5 is some minor bug fixes.

What are you trying to do that you can't?

[Tom_S]

Simple..I add the youtube url in a post ie http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgnL5oJvk0E and it should add I am assuming

PHP Code:

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgnL5oJvk0E[/media] 


correct? Instead it is adding

PHP Code:

[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgnL5oJvk0E[/url] 


which gives only a url link. This is using 1.8 and that is of course as I explained after I fully uninstalled 1.5. The option in the ACP "Show the download link?" is set to "No" but I tried it both ways.

Hope that helps explain it better.
