vBulletin-Glossary
 

What is vBulletin-Glossary:

A professional glossary with features like :

• crosslinking
• attachments in entries using vBullstin attachment system
• searchable by using the vBulletin standard search
• edit-history just like in wikipedia
• synonyms to combine crosslinkings to other words
• optional entryfields for more details of entry
• vb-SEO compatible
• etc.

Installation:

- Upload all files in 'upload' to your server

- set 777-permission for the following directories:

• /vbglossar
• /vbglossar/backup
• /vbglossar/temp

- Import 'product-vbglossar.xml' in AdminCP as Add-On.

Right after the import of the productfile, go and set the usergroups. Afterwards edit the setting in AdminCP (Settings and Crosslinking). Now go to 'manage categories' and create the wanted cats.

Now the glossary should be configured and ready to use.

Updates from previous versions:

Follow the instruction of a new installation, also check the file permissions. After importing the product (overwrite: yes), check the grouprights and the settings of the glossary as there are some new features. In case the entries won't show up, please rebuild the datastore in the tools-section of the glossarin in admincp.

Template Modification:

Edit template 'search.css' and check for the following text
Please include the following code above this:
General:

This addon has been developed by the follwing people (a-z): Andreas, Captainslater, G?rome, Surviver and me. We spent every free minute for this project (coding, translation, tests, etc). Also MrD and Ragtek have tested during the time when this addon got developed.

In directory '/tools' you might find a usefull Script by G?rome. User of vBCMS will find a module for their portal in directory 'vbcms' which shows a random entry of the glossary.

History:

• 1.0.0 - First version
• 1.0.0 PL 1 - Fixed Version by G?rome, users can't write unwnated entries anymore.
• 1.0.1 - overwork of the code, now working with datastore and datamanager. Also we included some small new features into the addon (e. g. revert entries, inlinemod, etc).
• 1.0.2 - overwork of the code, bugs removed, a lot of new features
• 1.0.3 - fixed more small bugs and added new functions (create threads for discussions, more options for crosslinking, better options for mods/admins, etc).
• 1.0.4 - bugfix-release.
• 1.1.0 - added more main-features (synonyms can be used now, optional use of entryfields within categories, PDF-functions included, vB-SEO kompatible, TOC-list, etc)
• 2.0.5 - Version for vBulletin 4.x with additional new features, bugs fixed.
• 2.0.6 - Version for vBulletin 4.1.4 with small bug fixes.

Yay!

I no longer need to go to vBGermany to get this.

Thank you. I will update later today.

thanks Vossi,will tag until install.

I like! Do you plan on supporting this for years to come? Do you notice slower page loads?

Thank you

Sure I do want to keep up the support and no, the way we use the routine for crosslinking doesnt effect the page load at all :)

Thank you I think this will come in handy!

I just installed it and I am just a bit confused, when you say:

Do I need to do this on this install or only if I am upgrading from a previous version?????

In both cases. The glossary is one of the very very few addons that uses the build-in search function in vbulletin 4.x. In order to show the small icon in the listbit while the search results get displayed, you need to add this few lines to the css.

If you dont do that, you'll have a missing icon in the listbit results.

Hi,
another good Addon that use the VB Standards.
Nominated for MotM

A Great Respect to Vossi

Keep up the great work Vossi. :up:

Is there any way to limit the number of crosslinks in a post?

Is there any way to limit the number of times the same link is listed in a post? For example if the word "People" was a link and that word appeared 7 times in a post, is there a way to make it so that it only had a link to the first time it appeared and not seven times?

Thanks,
Kether

is there a live demo that we can checkout?
screenshots are nice, but a front end demo would be handy ;)

excellent, thanks

btw, can the title be edited to remove "vbulletin-Glossary" ?

The title in the browser line?

Hello thanks for update :) just a little problem and still looking for how to share my glossary database to others

whats wrong with it ?

admincp -> manage entries

There you can import and export.

And yes, just change the rewrite rules to:
The phrases in the turkish translation are not updated, that's why this weird stuff appears.

Any thoughts, Vossi? Seems you missed my questions on the first page. Thanks.

Admincp -> vBulletin-GLossary -> Crosslinking -> Exclude crosslinks within the same entry

A few Bugs i did run into:

- Displayorder is being ignored (in the Forum, not in the AdminCP)
- Adding a Sub Category to a Sub Category results in the Sub-Sub to be a normal major Category

//edit:
- HTML on also not working (even if BB and Smilies are deactivated), it just shows the HTML Tags

//edit2:
I am using vB 4.1.1 and HTML works just fine in the normal Forum

After changing this option in admincp, please run the maintenance and rebuild the datastore. Does it work afterwards?
Subs in subs isnt included in here.
I'm going to check that.

Nope, didn't help, I also tried using smaller Numbers (so 1,2,3 instead of 10,20 - I also tried using 100 steps)

Ok, that explains that Part ;)

Very apreciated.

Also a small Question:
Is it possible to write a own "Preview" for hovering over these Links? Would be very usefull since on ingame Items, no one is really interested in the Story but rather having a fast basic overview ;).

Not yet, but the idea is good.

thx, I got another Idea, i haven't seen build in:

restrict Categories for certain Forums (to prevent crossover of Games for example ;) )

Check this, it's already there:

AdminCP -> Forums & Moderators -> Forum Manager.

There you choose the Forum you want to edit, under 'Enable / Disable Features' you can edit 'Activate crosslinks for this forum?' as another option. You need to change the options under AdminCP -> vBulletin-Glossary -> Crosslinking for this this.

The other way around can be found under AdminCP -> vBulletin-Glossary -> Manage Categories. When editing a category you can set 'Display entries of this category as crosslinks within the forum' to no if you dont want to.

The Glossary has a lot of features everywhere at the needed places to fit the crosslinking to individual needs.

A very nice, thank you a lot :).

Your're welcome, thanks for the donation :)

A category and entry image option would be great, too. I haven't tried this mod yet, so I'm not sure if that's already implemented.

Once again, Vossi, you rock. :)

Category images are included, entry images didnt make sense to me. But in general the attachment system can be used for the entries.

Ah, i was thinking in the case of your Google example, the Google logo would appear in the list for their entry. (not just on the actual single entry page, but on lists of multiple entries.)

Just a thought. :)

No Problem, any news on the HTML issue (want to start to include my prepared HTML sites *G*)

And i think Arkham Idea is good (if I understood it right), since (yes that again :P) Game Stuff often has Icons (like Items, Champions and so on)

Found another 2 Bugs:

- So far HTML has worked one time (for some reason), but on hitting edit, all HTML Code was gone (and since then HTML hasn't worked again)

- On longer Text, its completely deleting any Format (like from hitting Enter, not the BB Code)

//edit: Got the Displayorder to work:

Sorting on category overview - Choose here the sorting for the category overview. --> has to be user Defined (standard its alphabetical) and then Re-generate datastore. Now it shows as it should ;).

very neat concept.

can some of the common words be excluded for crosslinking?

I am having some issues with integrating vbSEO on VB 4.1.1.

I have the custom rewrite rules in place, however there seem to be few things not working.

For reference here are the rules I am running

The following URL's are failing:

1.) http://www.performanceboats.com/kb/1...-destinations/

If I edit it to this http://www.performanceboats.com/kb/1...+destinations/ it works.

2.) http://www.performanceboats.com/kb/1...ke-havasu.html

Like number 1 if I change the - to a + in both boating-desination and lake-havasu it works.

3.) http://www.performanceboats.com/kb/tag/Lake+Havasu/

The last one there is a result of clicking through from a tag in a post. I have vbseo integration turned on in the settings as well. Anyone else seeing this?

Just found another oddity. When I turned it on the plugin broke all my attachement links under VBSEO. The path that should have been myforum/subforumname/attachments/something-something.jpg turned into myforum/subforumname/attachments/something-something-jpg

Note the -jpg that should be .jpg

This is in VB4.1.1 with vbseo installed.

Weird, as the addon it doesnt effect that part at all...

Hi, I have other vbseo rewriterule in my .htaccess. How do I add the correct rewriterule for vbglossary?
Thanks
W

via Custom Rewrite Rules don't edit .htaccess

hi, I just added them in vbseo panel, however it doesn't seem to work fully


1, mysite/vbglossar.php changes into mysite/glossary/

2, however, mysiteglossary/tag/some+word/ changes into mysite/glossary/?do=showentry&id=7

Another switch somewhere?

Thanks
