Add-On Releases - 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

/* as post */

Please include the following code above this:

.threadinfo.glossaryentry a.threadstatus
{
background-image:url({vb:stylevar imgdir_searchresults}/search_results_glossaryentry.png);
background-position: 11px 6px;
}

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).

• 1.1.0 - added more main-features (synonyms can be used now, optional use of entryfields within categories, PDF-functions included, vB-SEO kompatible, TOC-list, etc)

okay upgraded forum to 4.1.5 and have glossary 2.0.6 and still get the same error when I click my inbox.

Fatal error: Access level to vB_Attachment_Store_vBGlossary_GlossaryEntry::fetc h_associated_contentinfo() must be protected (as in class vB_Attachment_Store) or weaker in /home/marin49/public_html/packages/vbglossary/attach/glossaryentry.php on line 368

Are you positive that you uploaded the files for new? Also those within the /package/vbglossary/attach directory?

[alaska_av8r]

Yes I am. I went back tonight and un-installed it. I downloaded the 2.0.6 from here and uploaded all new files, imported the product file and went through the setup again.

Bad news is it still gives the same error, even worse news is now I have lost all of the glossary entries I previously entered.

My installation of 2.0.5 stopped working when I updated vB a few months ago, so yesterday I installed Glossary 2.0.6 on vB 4.1.5 PL1.

The glossary worked fine, but members couldn't access their Private Messages - there was a 500 error. I've had to disable Glossary again.

This is from the server error log:

2011-09-27 18:09:22: (mod_fastcgi.c.2592) FastCGI-stderr: PHP Fatal error: Declaration of vB_Attachment_Store_vBGlossary_GlossaryEntry::veri fy_permissions() must be compatible with that of vB_Attachment_Store::verify_permissions() in /usr/home/httpd/vhosts/myhost.com/httpdocs/forums/packages/vbglossary/attach/glossaryentry.php on line 363

What changes did you make to attach.php?

Since this is an original vBulletin file I don't want to upload your 4.1.6 file over my 4.1.5 - especially since it's going to be over-written again soon when 4.1.7 is released....

You don't overwrite any original file as my files in /packages/vbglossary are not part of the original package
