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.

When uploading a additional image I get an error

Warning: Declaration of vB_DataManager_vBLinklist_Entry::save() should be compatible with that of vB_DataManager::save() in ..../includes/class_dm_vblinklist_entry.php on line 28

I'm using vBulletin 4.2.2. and everything else seems to work fine. I've checked the image setting and the usergroup permissions and can't see anything wrong.

I notice at the bottom of the Edit page there is this

Create new entries: Yes
Upload attachements: No
Edit entries: Yes

Which would suggest it's a permission issue but can't see why.

Any idea?

Is this mod being updated for 4.2.2? I have been looking for something like this for quite awhile.

Thanks

Is this confirmed working for 4.2.2? Tagged.

Notice to Dev-- PLEASE update the plugin version info. It is reporting back to my install that I have 1.0.5 installed and the current is 1.05

[vetsols]

And YES, I can confirm that it WORKS for 4.2.2 as I am currently using it on my site at http://www.thecheatpolice.com running 4.2.2 AND fully modded out.

Use vblinkdirectory105vb415.zip
edit ==>> product-vblinklis.xml
find ===>> TYPE=MYISAM and Changet to ENGINE=MYISAM

and the last find :

  <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.8"  maxversion="4.2.0 Alpha 1" />
Change to ==>>
  <dependency dependencytype="vbulletin" minversion="4.0.8"  maxversion="4.2.2" />

Is there anything like this for vb 3.8?

Even after the editing, I am still getting the following message "The following dependencies were not met:
This product is not compatible with version 4.2.2 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.2.2 / Incompatible with 4.2.2 and greater)" I tried editing it from 4.0.8 and still get the same message! There were alson 4 instances of the "MYISAM" to change.

EDIT: Found that you will need to also change your MYSQL version. Check your mysql version and change it to your server version. Mine is 5.5.32!
Change it to: <dependency dependencytype="mysql" minversion="5.5.32" maxversion="" />
