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/

Click on the UserCP and look on the left hand side at the bottom.

This mod also does images. I'm using the full highslide packed of the latest version so you shouldn't need two files. But I don't see the point of the other mod if you use this one.

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.

View source and see if its being included.

Thanks, Nix. Okay, I have compared the source from the two skins (one where the lightbox works and the one where it doesn't) and both have the relevant CSS and JS present. Any idea what else could be causing this to work in one and not the other?

Is there any way to get the links to open in a new page, rather than going straight to the link in the same page (or window) and losing the post you were orginally looking at...?

It's not working

if you say it works on your end, how do you parse the links into your post?

If you wrapped media tag around it, after submitted, nothing shown up at all.
