Goldbrick Media system for vBulletin 3.6.x

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/

2. The database errors, quick reply and preview are fixed in the next version.

Any chance of PM'ing me the changes I need to make.

I don't like my users getting db errors.

Do you have an idea of when you are releasing the update?

Thanks for this Nix

I saw the same error in a previous post so I followed your advice given then and uninstalled then reinstalled

I'm still getting the errors

If i remembered correctly, just edit the inclides/class_anymedia.php
and search for :

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post SET anymedia_yes=1 WHERE postid=$post[postid]"); 


replace it with :

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->db->query_write("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "post SET anymedia_yes=1 WHERE postid='" . $post[postid] ."'");

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.8:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE post SET anymedia_yes=1 WHERE postid=;

MySQL Error  : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

Username     : username
Classname    : database

I'm getting this error when previewing a post with media.

The field is correctly set in the database. Could it be a syntax error?

[nix]

Just to clear somethings up.

1. The template edits are only needed if you want to user attachments or options.

2. The database errors, quick reply and preview are fixed in the next version.

3. I'll make an option on how the media displays. Do you guys want it to be a user or admin setting?

4. Thanks for helping get rid of all the bugs!
