Add-On Releases - 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.

I'd like to also change the name from Link Directory to Directory in the nav menu.. Any suggestions on where I need to edit for that?

Is this still being supported by the coder?

[Vossi]

The error you get is ue to the factm, that you didnt upload all of the files

For changing the text in the navbar just change the phrase vblinklist_navbartext-

[idwpub]

sorry had to edit this.. i've uploaded all the files within the upload folder 2 times and the same error..

[idwpub]

i'm trying to remove "vBulletin-Link Directory" as in the attached screen shot. I don't see that in the vblinklist_navbartext

@ idwpub

Do a phrase search for Link Directory and change the phrase text to whatever you want. I thing this is the one you want. (vblinklist_navbit_headline)

Thanks Scale.. i'm still getting errors... but i might have to hire someone to take a look at my previous issue - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=442

[Scalemotorcars]

Did you upload the widget in the zip or did you try to make one? Make sure you added all the files needed. Look at the readme txt in each folder its in there about the widget.

I just uploaded it and it worked fine out of the box.

[idwpub]

that worked Scale.. Thanks for the help

Vossi, I have a csv file with over 1000 links that I would like to import. If you could please add it I would be very grateful.

Thank you... Daniel
