There has been an update of vBulletin Link-Directory. Bugs have been fixed as far as known by now, also there are a couple of new functions which can be found in each settings in admincp or the category configuration.

Great update! It was definitely worth the wait. Thank you very much.

Vossi, you ROCK! This update is great!

Just installed the update but when a link is submitted I get the following error message:

"Could not find phrase 'nomoderatedentry"

*damn*

I forgot to correct the phrase... :o

Either you add them by you own or you just wait untill 1.0.3 gets released with a 'medical clean-up'

what are the new functions?

Besides fixing known bugs, here are some new functions:

• upload optional image to the entry
• full vB-SEO support
• URL-checker (checks if URL exists while entering it)
• blacklist URLs
• check for double entries
• show meta-tags of url in entry

brilliant thanks Vossi

Ok, I haven't installed 1.02 yet and I'm not quite sure how to patch it, so I'll wait for 1.03 ... :up:

Thanks .. :)

Just follow the instructions above. Upload all files (overwriting existing files), import the product (overwrite) and that's about it.

Ok, you mean go ahead and download the current 1.02 and that has the issue fixed? :confused:

I'm not quite sure what you mean by follow the instructions above. Sorry for being a little thick if it's obvious .. :D

Regards,
Doug

No, not yet fixed but in 1.0.3 it will be. Guess we missed each others point now :o

how to configure vbseo?

If you have vB-SEO installed, you need to activate it for the addon at AdminCP -> vBulletin Link Directory -> Activate external AddOns -> Activate.

The rewrite-rules look like this:
The link directory then uses full vB-SEO support.

1), Possible this product can use the SEO that comes with vBulletin? I prefer not to pay for vBSEO for something that vB 4 already has.

2), I reported in my first post that even when Allow HTML has been enabled on the category, it will not work! Can this be looked in to? Thanks!

3), How do I remove the "links"? from entries?

Thanks.

I wish it would; vBulletin doesnt support friendly urls for 3rd party addons in the way it is coded. I was even talking to the developers about this (Im in the alphagroup on vb.com), but there is no solution which fullfills the standard.
Oops, forgotten :o
?hm... the link at its own? You mean like using the link directory without a link? :confused:

Hi, cool update, thanks! However I am still missing the function to put new entries into a moderation queue to be moderated before they are published and visible. Do I miss that or is that not a feature?

When you add an entry to a subcategory it's not showing the username in "Last entry (date) by XYZ" on the main page of the link directory, is there a chance to fix that?

Thankyou very much!

Quite a shame. What about using/creating your own SEO if possible? I prefer not to pay 150 dollars for vbSEO.

No worries XD, hope this can be solved in the next version though (html)

I'm talking about the "link" text with the link after that that'll show up in every single entry.

Check the top in the entry above the text, you'll see "link"

--------------

Also.. how friendly is your product (without vbseo) with google?

A few questions or bugs:
1 - Where is the additional image supposed to show up. I made a test with an image for one link (category accepts additional image). The image is correcty uploaded (no error) and the database is also correctly updated for this link. I checked that the image was there in vblinklist/images directory, but it is not displayed anywhere. I tried all kinds of settings (enable/disable thumbnail service in case it would interfere) with no success.
2 - Same problem with metadatas. Well updated in the database, category is supposed to display them. But where?
3 - Still impossible to upload an attachment. I can attach images anywhere in the site (forum,cms) but in vblink, upload attachment is not proposed. Any settings that I would have missed? In the editor the only possibility is to add an url.
4 - When we disable the thumnail service, we still have the blank Thumnail div displayed. It shouldn't show up (unless the additional image is supposed to go there)

As 62 more phrases have been added to this new version, here is the full new french language file.

You'll find the setting in the usergroup permissions.
Fixed in version 1.0.3
The phrase is called : 'vblinklist_link_url' and the complete line can be found in template: 'vblinklist_showentry'. In the template have a look at this line:
There are more lines with this content in the template as there are conditions for the position which can be set in admincp -> link settings.
It should be 'google friendly' in all parts.
The image gets uploaded to /vblinklist/image/ (that directory needs to have 0777). This image gets shown right below the text for the link entry.
Meta informations are getting show in a new box below the complete entry area. It might show N/A or another error if the linked site doesnt allow to fetch the meta information or if there arent any at all.
There is no connection to the attachment system as by now is wasnt needed nor requested.
Are you sure that you uploaded all new files? :confused: I cant re-construct that bug anymore... ???
Cool, thanks a lot.

Version 1.0.3 has been uploaded and I hope that the known bugs are fixed now; it was late last night, so I hope I didnt make any mistake. Atleast subcats in subcats work now and the missing last name when viewing a category is available.

I didnt fix the html-settings as this will be fixed in 1.0.4 when new functions will be added (link to us-service, widgets, statistics).

I think there is a mistake with the sub-categories as you can see on the attached image.
When we are in a sub-category, it displays sub-sub-categories even if there are no sub-sub-categories. Except in the first one. It shouldn't display if there are no sub-sub-categories.

Hu? Must be a wrong true or false being set in the loop where the listbits are getting build. I'll check that this afternoon and get back to you...

Thanks for the update! Shame the html fix isn't included. It's the feature I'm actually waiting for.

HTML-functions within forums are always a kind of risk, therefore i want to take time for this in order to test and check it for quite a little while. Even when the parser is getting used i want to take care of this.

Is it possible that you by any chance can make the "can use HTML" option as a usergroup option rather than section option? So only specific groups can use it. That should lower down all the risks.

Yikes. I had installed this for 4.0.6 but when I tried to upgrade, it says that it isn't compatible with 4.0.6.

Does that mean I have to uninstall it all the way? It would be a pity if I had to since I was really looking forward to using this.

If you had installed it on 4.0.6 before, then it still is compatible. With the 4.0.8-limitation I wanted to make sureit works 100% as I didnt test below 4.0.8. Just open the product 'product-vblinklist.xml' file and change the follwing line:
to
by lowering the minversion to 4.0.6

Then it installs like you are used to it.

Like I said, I didnt test with 4.0.6 yet and have no idea if it works fine or not.

Thanks Vossi, great mod and just what I need, but is there any way of uploading multiple images?

Thank you for the fix, Vossi. :) It installed perfectly.

I thought I'd point out a possible styling issue. This was present in both 1.0.1 and 1.0.3. Please check the Posting Permissions in the screenshot.

Actually there is only one upload available, but you can use the [IMG]-BBCode and place image somewhere else.
The reason might be a changed stylevar within the version of vBulletin.

Is it possible to manually add a thumbnail for each instead of using the services?

Right at the position where the tumbnail gets displayed for each entry? No, thats not possible. But you can disable the thumbnail function and use the optional upload function for images to do this.

Hi
I tried to make, but did not
Would help with small pictures to show?

About vB-SEO: Did you turn it on for the addon in AdminCP -> usage of external addons within the link directy menu? Did you add the rewrite rules to vB-SEO?

Yes for VBSEO

Did you add the rewrite rules to vB-SEO?
What exactly do you ask for? The picture which gets shown in each category description?

That is easy to do, just upload the image you want into the '/images/vblinklist/picture' -folder and enter the name of the image in the settings of the category where you want the image to be displayed.

That's it. :D

'^vblinkdirectory\.php\?do=showentry&id=(\d+)&titl e=(.*)&catid=(\d+)&cattitle=(.*)'=>'linkdirectory/$3-$4/$1-$2.html'
'^vblinkdirectory\.php\?do=(.*)&id=(\d+)&title=(.* )&catid=(\d+)&cattitle=(.*)'=>'linkdirectory/$2-$3/$1-$5-$4/'
'^vblinkdirectory\.php\?do=showcat&catid=(\d+)&cat title=(.*)'=>'linkdirectory/$1-$2/'
'^vblinkdirectory\.php'=>'linkdirectory/'
