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/

Did you fix DailyMotion, MegaVideo?

Yes override.

It will rebuild the links on its own when the page is viewed.

Dallymotion works for me, I didn't know megavideo wasn't.

[rapidphim]

not sure why MegaVideo and DailyMotion never worked for me since your first ever released of this beautiful hack....

Also, will this upgrade also drop all previous templates? because right now, in template edit box, I have all gbs templates and also Goldbrick Template

Also, did you impletement the Next, Previous feature for this hack if we have mulitple media/video on the same post?

Not sure I can look at them again.

It will drop the templates it doesn't need. The gbs templates are for something in the future

THe next previous has always been there. Just use the arrow buttons on your keyboard.

Found a bug, re-download the zip if you've already downloaded it.

Thanks Nix. I'll upgrade it tonight and let you know about DailyMotion and MegaVideo.

Is it possible for you to help me come up with the addon for this hack from this website? http://www.youjams.com

Ill have to stick with 1.8. I liked that you excluded Highslide as it conflicted with the Highslide image viewer. Since both JS scripts were competing in the Headincludes.

Me again.

Okay, still working on trying to get this to work on my board and think it may be to do with the above that you mention. I have downloaded a couple of new skins and it works with one of them so I know it isn't GB.

My question is: how do I ensure that the JS and CSS are being included? Sorry if this is a silly question but I haven't a clue. If anyone can help I'd be most grateful.

Thanks in advance.
