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.

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.

Quick fix for members who have PHP 4.3 installed.

If you get depreciated errors in the output (be sure you have error display enabled or check your error logs for that.)

Look for two instances of "=&" and change that to just "=". Assigning of the new value by reference is depreciated in php 5.3. Click here for more information.

Otherwise, the rest of the code appears to me to be php 5.3 compliant, which is what I meant in my previous post.

I also had to do the following to get things working ok. Now works fine thanks for all the tips.

and replace with

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_wysiwygparser.php');
$html_parser = new vB_WysiwygHtmlParser($vbulletin);
$message = $html_parser->parse_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode($vbulletin->GPC['message'], $catinfo['allowhtml']);

The following AdminCP functions give me an Internal Server Error:

• Manage Categories
• Manage Entries
• General Update Tool
• Information

All of the other options (General Settings, Links Settings, etc.) work just fine. I'm still trying to dig into my server logs, but in the mean time, is there anything that's common to those four AdminCP functions that are not common to the others?

My webhost sucks, so anything that I can look at and resolve myself (maybe a core PHP setting?) would be most helpful.

500 Error:

[06/Jul/2012:05:35:21 -0400] "GET /admincp/admin_vblinklist.php?do=managecats HTTP/1.0" 500 551 "http://legionofmyth.com/admincp/index.php?do=nav" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1) AppleWebKit/536.11 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/20.0.1132.47 Safari/536.11"

UPDATE:
This is now working properly, it seems the admin_vblinklist.php file would not upload when I did all the files/folders as a group; once I uploaded it by itself *BAM* good to go. Why it wouldn't upload when all the others did, I don't know. But all seems to be working now, so I don't care.

I have issues with the downloads:

./admincp
admin_vblinklist.php	File version mismatch: found 1.0.0 , expected 1.0.4

Can I just changes the headers:
