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.
One thing, the display was really messed up in my custom styles (footer at top of page, width all screwed up, custom nav bar tabs not right) until I entered my first category via admincp (it was ok with the default style even without categories). After the first category was entered it looked just like my other pages.
The only issue I had after that was with the phrase not found (see my prior posts) but I overcame that will a little hard coding.
Now it seems to be functioning properly.
I should mention that this is a fresh install so maybe the issues others are having are due to upgrading instead of a fresh install.
I strongly suggest you back up your database and forum directories before installing this in case you have problems. I always do that before adding a new mod and several times I've had to restore my DB due to severe issues with other mods.
Here's what it looks like with my custom style (the screen looks darker in the image than it really is). If you want to see it using the default style let me know:
