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.

Actually there is only one upload available, but you can use the [IMG]-BBCode and place image somewhere else.

I thought I'd point out a possible styling issue. This was present in both 1.0.1 and 1.0.3. Please check the Posting Permissions in the screenshot.

The reason might be a changed stylevar within the version of vBulletin.

Is it possible to manually add a thumbnail for each instead of using the services?

Right at the position where the tumbnail gets displayed for each entry? No, thats not possible. But you can disable the thumbnail function and use the optional upload function for images to do this.

About vB-SEO: Did you turn it on for the addon in AdminCP -> usage of external addons within the link directy menu? Did you add the rewrite rules to vB-SEO?

What exactly do you ask for? The picture which gets shown in each category description?

That is easy to do, just upload the image you want into the '/images/vblinklist/picture' -folder and enter the name of the image in the settings of the category where you want the image to be displayed.

That's it.

'^vblinkdirectory\.php\?do=(.*)&id=(\d+)&title=(.* )&catid=(\d+)&cattitle=(.*)'=>'linkdirectory/$2-$3/$1-$5-$4/'

[Vossi]

Just have a try with this rewrite rules:

'^vblinklist\.php\?do=showentry&id=(\d+)&title=(.* )&catid=(\d+)&cattitle=(.*)'=>'linkdirectory/$3-$4/$1-$2.html'
'^vblinklist\.php\?do=(.*)&id=(\d+)&title=(.*)&cat id=(\d+)&cattitle=(.*)'=>'linkdirectory/$2-$3/$1-$5-$4/'
'^vblinklist\.php\?do=showcat&catid=(\d+)&cattitle =(.*)'=>'linkdirectory/$1-$2/'
'^vblinklist\.php'=>'linkdirectory/'

is that better?
