Not Supported DB Changes Uses Plugins Auto-Template Additional Files External Content Is in Beta Stage  

This mod has been rewritten for vB4x here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=240677

This modification is based on the Video-Directory modification by Survivor and vBPoint.org.
His mod is NOT dead, its still alive and kicking; but he has informed me that he just doesn't have the time to maintain it and give support. So until he is able to work on it agian; I've been doing a series of updates.

What is this mod?

This mod adds a fully featured and fully integrated video directory archive to your forums. Users can add their favorite videos from their favorite video service to the directory. I only support a few select hosters; but the hoster scripting is XML base, so any user can create their own scripts for any number of hosting services. The old MyVideo and Sevenload scripts from Survivor's version will still work, but they wont pull in Keyword/Tagging information, nor the video length time codes.

Basic Feature Listing:
  • Fully integrated into the vBulletin user database and product manager.
  • Fully phrased and built on templates for easy reskinning and styling.
  • Fully administratable and a myriad of settings for personalization.
  • Complete customization of permissions based on usergroups.
  • Landing page for broad information and fully featured tag cloud.
  • Category profiles for videos.
  • Contribution profiles for users.
  • Keyword profiles for tag cloud.
  • Built in comment system for videos.
  • Search function for titles and descriptions.
  • RSS feed of videos.
Product Demo:
http://www.8wayrun.com/video.php
Installation Procedure:
  1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
  2. CHMOD /videothumbnails/* and /includes/videoserviceapi to 777.
  3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
  4. Follow the on screen instructions to configure your video hoster settings.
  5. Refresh your administration control panel to see the new navigation links.
NOTES:
vBulletin 3.7.0 instituted a new avatar-thumbnail system. There is a high probability that you are unaware of this new system and may have failed to setup your vBulletin to make use of it. Make sure that a directory called /thumbs is located in your avatar directory and CHMOD it to 777. Then go into Maintenance > Update Counters and run the Rebuild Custom Avatar Thumbnails process.
Upgrade Procedure:
  1. Upload all files in the "upload" directory to your forum root.
  2. Take note of the information stored in Limits of Videos > General Settings.
  3. Import the product "product-videodirectory.xml" in your Product Manager.
  4. Re-establish your previous Limits settings in Videos > General Settings.
  5. Re-import ALL of your hosters and settings in Videos > Manage hosters.
    • You MUST remember to re-import your hosters after upgrading.
NOTES:
You may lose your category dataman when you upgrade. If no categories are listed after an upgrade, you will be required to rebuild your category dataman. Its very easy to rebuild it if you need to. Simply go into Videos > Manage categories, select ANY category and hit [Edit], then click [Save]. Your category dataman will automatically be rebuilt.
Roadmap for the Future:
  • Moderation
  • Favorites
  • Playlists
Don't forget to click INSTALL!

Would it not be possible to create a generic hosting xml file for phpmotion sites? If they all follow the same conventions, it would be easy for owners of phpmotion sites to then modify the script to their own needs.

I, for one would love to see this as I run two sites which have been built with phpmotion!

Mr.samy,

So, once you add the URL, you have made it work to automatically add the title, tags and description? Wow, that's great!

Jaxel, is it possible for you to get this working on the mod here based on info from Mr.samy?

Huh? It automatically takes titles, tags, description and time already...

Put the URL of the video in and then click the "Load Information" button.

Not this week... next week is when I can start working on it...

Anyone have any hoster requests, besides GoogleVideo (does not have an XML API), Megavideo (does not have thumbnails in their XML API) or PHPMotion (does not have a base URL, or an XML API). Any hoster that does not have an XML API, can not be set as a hoster; its that simple.

Hi..

Everything went smooth, except two minor problems:

1) I had to rebuild my categories, as mentioned in first post. (thanks for that instruction)

2) secondly, I didn't understand the time concept. I expect it to pull directly from the API. But it shows all ??? marks. Is there anyway I can suppress this field? It looks very odd in the thumbnail.

If anybody made a nice English button so far?

I just made a MAJOR change to the way the admin control panel handles this mod. This change is for 1.1.7.1; even if you downloaded 1.1.7 earlier today; you should still download this new version. You DO NOT need to re-install the mod if you have already installed 1.1.7 (you DO need to re-install if you are still running 1.1.6 or below), however, you should MOST DEFINATELY re-upload the ENTIRE /upload/ directory. This mod was put in to make the Video Directory control panel more compatible with VBSEO.

===========================================================
Version 1.1.7
===========================================================
  • Upgrades no longer try to re-install the hosters; it was causing problems.
  • Fixed incompatibilities with the admin control panel and VBSEO.
  • Added an option to allow or disallow the retrieving of Tags/Keywords from an API.
  • Added fully working API from Dailymotion that now supports keywords and timecodes.
  • Added fully working API from Metacafe that now supports keywords and timecodes.
  • FILE EDITS SINCE 1.1.6: (make sure you upload these new versions!)
    • DELETE upload/video.php
    • upload/video_admin.php
    • upload/clientscript/vbulletin_ajax_videodirectory.js
    • upload/includes/xml/cpnav_videodirectory.xml
    • upload/includes/xml/videohoster-Dailymotion.xml
    • upload/includes/xml/videohoster-Metacafe.xml
    • upload/includes/xml/videohoster-YouTube.xml
    • upload/includes/xml/videohoster-YouTubeHD.xml
    • upload/videothumbnails/Dailymotion (CHMOD to 777)
    • upload/videothumbnails/Metacafe (CHMOD to 777)
  • TEMPLATE EDITS SINCE 1.1.6: (make sure you revert these templates!)
    • video_add

Ok, never mind about point 2.
I imported the hoster xml files again. Now the new videso's time comes automatically.
