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.

• 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/

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.

Just post the link and hit reply. No need for url tags.

Show the download link is an old setting for the classic style. I'm still not sure what isn't working for you.

[Tom_S]

How am I not explaining this to you correctly. I AM posting the url and the url alone and hitting submit. After I do that it should post it with the media being there correctly. It isn't. I am explaining to you what it is doing instead.

And you setup forum permissions and user group permissions and the youtube.php file is in the sites folder?

[rapidphim]

Nix, do you have chance to look into my troubles yet? thanks.

[Tom_S]

Your killing me dude. What does that have to do with what I am telling you. The setup is changing the bbcode call function from media to url. Of course I have everything setup right or I wouldn't have even brought it to your attention in the first place. I'm not going to waste your time bouncing useless information off of you when I didn't setup the mod right. I can change the BBCode Tag Name in the ACP setup to url and it works fine but I'm obviously not going to leave it that way.

I do have nCode image resizer installed and it may be bumping heads with it. I have no idea but it is a possiblity. I do know that I have given you what I thought was rather good descriptive feeback on the problem but I am starting to feel like I'm not doing so well at it now.

Tom, go to vbulletin options, then Goldbrick media options. Double check to see if where it says "Set the tag name for the BBcode." that is says "media" instead of "url".

[Tom_S]

You all really need to read what I wrote. I changed it to URL and it worked then because it was not working as it should. Do we understand that so far. It was not using the bbcode MEDIA..it was putting the bbcode URL there. The bbcode MEDIA was in the ACP where it should be. I changed it however to URL to see if it would show the youtube embed in a post and it did. However we all know that is the incorrect method. The correct method the mod uses is MEDIA as the bbcode and it is not using it. Do we follow me now? IT is not functioning by putting the word [media] http://whatevertoyoutube.com/ickydoodle.movie [/media] that would be the raw code you would see if the video wasn't there. It isn't. It is using URL instead of MEDIA. Don't make me get my etch a sketch out and draw pictures!

[Tom_S]

Just to avoid any confusion you can see I do have it selected as "media" however I think it is working now. I will see but I didn't do anything.

Nix... I also forgot to mention that if you have multiple Google Video on the same post at the same time, when you hit submit new thread, you'll receive php error in return on google.php file.
