vBulletin Link Directory

What is vBulletin Link Directory:

vBulletin Link Directory with vBulletin integration has a couple of functions and options that a comfortable link directory needs to have:

Links can be moderated
Categories with subcategories (with images/icons/descriptions/etc)
Subcategories in subcategories
Comment-function (also moderated)
Uses the forum search for finding links
Detailed usergroup and administrator permissions
Uses vBseo and vBCMS
Facebook integration
Thumbnail and banner function
Additional pictures/icons in categories
Fully vB-standard kept within code
Additional Functions for Links/Images
Meta-Informations
Check if link exists, read linked site informations, etc
Google PageRank
Alexa Page Traffic
'Link-us'-function
Additional style settings (fixed sizes for banners/images by stylevars)
Show direktlink and thumbnails while categorie view

Installation/Update:

Upload all files you find in /upload to your forum root and change
the read/write permissions of:

/vblinklist/backup
/vblinklist/image

to 0777 in order to be able to make backups if needed.

Afterwards import 'product-vblinklist.xml' in admincp. Then configure the group permissions aswell as the administrator permissions.

Now you can change the settings of the addons in admincp and create categories like you want to.

The Link Directory is ready to use now, every function is used to vB-standard.

Adding the widget:

Admincp -> 'vBulletin CMS' -> 'Widgets' -> 'Create new widget'

Widget type: PHP Direct Execution
Title: Link Directory
Description: Shows a random entry and statistic from vBulletin Link Directory in CMS

Then 'Save' the widget and you'll see the list with the widgets alreday available in your forum. At the right side from 'Yellow Pages' you klick 'Configure' and enter the follwing information:

'Enter Php Code, in the form "$results = "':

PHP Code:


		
			
global $vbulletin, $vbphrases, $show, $stylevar;

include(DIR . "/vblinklist/widgets/widget_linklist_stats.php");

Template Name: vblinklist_widget_stats
Cache refresh time (minutes): 5

Then 'Save' the configuration. The file to include (DIR . "/vblinklist/widgets/widget_linklist_stats.php") can be found in the vBulletin-CMS folder in the ZIP-file to this product.

Now you can place the widget with the Layout Manager.

Tools:

You'll find import-scripts in the 'tools'-directory to import links from other addons if needed.

General:

Updates can easily be done by just following the explanation for installation.

This addon will be supported by me, please take care of the license.txt-file.

IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO REMOVE OR CHANGE THE COPYRIGHT IN ANY WAYS.

Brandfree versions are available, please get in touch with me using PM for that.

Your feedback is welcome, please post bugs in this thread.

Looks great, I use vbalinks myself but having issues with vbseo and it so will probably swap.

Nice MOD, Tagged for now.

I would like to use this on my Battlefield 3 website, is it possible to change the words "Link Directory" to "Clan Directory" this way i could allow my visitors to list their battlefield clans to my site.

Good to see a solid mod such as this, keeping a close eye on it, Cheers

Tagged, can't wait to install this tonight! I've been looking for a good link directory for awhile. This looks very promising and I expect this to be a popular mod! Thanks for all the hard work!

I just updated the product file, the error has been nuked. Thanks for the info.

@All:
There is a small script in the '/tools'-directory for those who want to import links and categories from LDM; i had to add this script as some users already asked for such an import possibility. Important: have a look at the textfile there. And remember to rebuild the datastore of the link directory in the link directory maintenance afterwards.

Import/export should be done on a test forum first, always create a db-backup before using it !!!!!!!!!!

Very nice! This should give some competition to vbAdvanced Link Directory. Thank you for this addon. Nominated for MOTM! :D

sure would be nice to be able to import from VBAlinks

I'm quite positive that could be done, but actually I don't have vBAdvanced-Links and can not have a look at it in order to contruct the import/export for that. :o

Right now I restricted it to parentcat with subcats only, BUT it's just a change of a few lines in order to make it the ways you talk about it. Then you could use a parentcat with subcats in subcats as much as you like, no limit for the depth.

I use the vB-standard only but actually this is just a small template change in order to have it shown the other way.

Hi,

Could you upload attachments via Manage Attachments?

Yeah, it's possible to implement this option, as the new attachment system is quite neat to handle. Actually it's not included as I tought that a linklist wouldnt need that... :o

The category display order doesn't seem to work when "set by user" is selected. Categories remain alphabetically ordered.
I check in the database: values are correctly set (vblinklist_displayorder= 1 instead of 0 default)

I'll let you know later this evening and print the lines to change for you ;)

Quote:

Yes I did. Now that I have also ordered my sub-categories, everything is working fine.
Strange as I deleted the browser cache before with no success.

i find this code in admin_vblinklist.php

PHP Code:


		
			
$parentcats = array(

        '-1' => $vbphrase['none']

    );



    foreach ($vbulletin->vblinklist['categories'] AS $catid => $currentcat)

    {

        if ($catid == $cat['id'] OR $currentcat['parentid'] != -1)

        {

            continue;

        }



        $parentcats["$catid"] = $currentcat['name'];

    }



    print_select_row($vbphrase['vblinklist_parent_cat'], 'cat[parentid]', $parentcats, $cat['parentid']);

how can i change in codes to show all categories for choice sub-category for other sub-category?

I'm working on the addon right now and will change this with the next release (either this night or tomorrow morning) ;)

After adding my first link, I received a PM titled "Could not find phrase 'vblinklist_newentrycreated'.'"
This vblinklist_newentrycreated phrase data is missing in the product xml file. You should add it in the next upgrade.
I manually added that phrase.

I can't find out how to manually add a thumbnail without using a distant service.

Costum thumbnail service link
I am trying to use a custom thumbnail service. How can I add the parameter in this kind of link:

Code:

<img src="http://api.thumbshot.fr/thumb.php?url=http://site.fr"" />

Something like {param} for url?

nice thank you great job i will comeback after test and tell for any notes

is it compatible with 4.0.2 ???

please do yo may to me translate to arabic ????

wow, man, if I saw this before , I`d have no reason to buy VBAlinks

of course, VBAlinks is worth the money, but you know.

I'm going to try this one out. So far I really like the format. Thanks!

looks really nice from screenshots,

Vossi, I'm not using the thumbnail add on. Is there any way to hide the thumbnail box??

Hi,
Is this considered a new "Content Type" that is compatible with vb 4.x ?
It will be perfect if it's fully compatible and supported (not a one time development).

Thanks,,

Great mod, thanks a million!
