Add-On Releases - vBulletin-Glossary

What is vBulletin-Glossary:

A professional glossary with features like :

• crosslinking
• attachments in entries using vBullstin attachment system
• searchable by using the vBulletin standard search
• edit-history just like in wikipedia
• synonyms to combine crosslinkings to other words
• optional entryfields for more details of entry
• vb-SEO compatible
• etc.

Installation:

- Upload all files in 'upload' to your server

- set 777-permission for the following directories:

• /vbglossar
• /vbglossar/backup
• /vbglossar/temp

- Import 'product-vbglossar.xml' in AdminCP as Add-On.

Right after the import of the productfile, go and set the usergroups. Afterwards edit the setting in AdminCP (Settings and Crosslinking). Now go to 'manage categories' and create the wanted cats.

Now the glossary should be configured and ready to use.

Updates from previous versions:

Follow the instruction of a new installation, also check the file permissions. After importing the product (overwrite: yes), check the grouprights and the settings of the glossary as there are some new features. In case the entries won't show up, please rebuild the datastore in the tools-section of the glossarin in admincp.

Template Modification:

Edit template 'search.css' and check for the following text

/* as post */

Please include the following code above this:

.threadinfo.glossaryentry a.threadstatus
{
background-image:url({vb:stylevar imgdir_searchresults}/search_results_glossaryentry.png);
background-position: 11px 6px;
}

General:

This addon has been developed by the follwing people (a-z): Andreas, Captainslater, G?rome, Surviver and me. We spent every free minute for this project (coding, translation, tests, etc). Also MrD and Ragtek have tested during the time when this addon got developed.

In directory '/tools' you might find a usefull Script by G?rome. User of vBCMS will find a module for their portal in directory 'vbcms' which shows a random entry of the glossary.

History:

• 1.0.0 - First version
• 1.0.0 PL 1 - Fixed Version by G?rome, users can't write unwnated entries anymore.
• 1.0.1 - overwork of the code, now working with datastore and datamanager. Also we included some small new features into the addon (e. g. revert entries, inlinemod, etc).
• 1.0.2 - overwork of the code, bugs removed, a lot of new features
• 1.0.3 - fixed more small bugs and added new functions (create threads for discussions, more options for crosslinking, better options for mods/admins, etc).
• 1.0.4 - bugfix-release.
• 1.1.0 - added more main-features (synonyms can be used now, optional use of entryfields within categories, PDF-functions included, vB-SEO kompatible, TOC-list, etc)
• 2.0.5 - Version for vBulletin 4.x with additional new features, bugs fixed.
• 2.0.6 - Version for vBulletin 4.1.4 with small bug fixes.

Thanks Vossi, Ill give it a try.

I want to thank Seductor for the fix on that file that made it so I could see notifications/private messages again. I also suggest the fix be implemented into the main modification download.

I was finally able to install this plugin without it messing up the PMs, thanks to Seductor's fix.

Now whenever I click on the glossary link in the navbar, it gives me the message saying I don't have permission to access the page. Insufficient permissions. This is when I'm logged in as the admin too.

Anyone have any ideas?

[Webbstre]

You still need to give even administrators permissions before you can use it.

First of all, the original verify_permissions is this:

PHP Code:

abstract protected function verify_permissions($info = array()); 


So your verify_permissions should have the same arguments:

PHP Code:

    public function verify_permissions($info = array())
    {
        global $show;

        require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_vbglossar.php');
        
        $this->values['id'] = intval($this->values['id']) ? intval($this->values['id']) : intval($this->values['entryid']);

        if ($this->values['id'])
        {
            $this->entryinfo = fetch_entryinfo($this->values['id']);
            $this->contentid = $this->values['id'];
            $this->userinfo = fetch_userinfo($this->entryinfo['userid']);
            cache_permissions($this->userinfo);
        }
        else
        {
            if ($userid = intval($this->values['u']) AND $userinfo = fetch_userinfo($userid))
            {
                $this->userinfo = $userinfo;
                cache_permissions($this->userinfo);
            }
            else
            {
                $this->userinfo = $this->registry->userinfo;
            }
        }

        if (
            !($this->registry->userinfo['permissions']['groupvbglossar'] & $this->registry->bf_ugp_groupvbglossar['canentervbglossar'])
            OR
            !($this->registry->userinfo['permissions']['groupvbglossar'] & $this->registry->bf_ugp_groupvbglossar['canviewentry'])
            OR
            !($this->registry->userinfo['permissions']['groupvbglossar'] & $this->registry->bf_ugp_groupvbglossar['canattachtoentry'])
        )
        {
            // no permission to view glossar, glossar entries or attachments
            return false;
        }

        if (
            !($this->registry->userinfo['permissions']['groupvbglossar'] & $this->registry->bf_ugp_groupvbglossar['canadminvbglossar'])
            AND
            !$this->entryinfo['status']
        )
        {
            // no permission to moderate and entry is moderated
            return false;
        }
        
        if (!$this->entryinfo['groupshow'])
        {
            if (!array_intersect(fetch_membergroupids_array($this->registry->userinfo), explode(',', $this->attachmentinfo['groupshowlist'])))
            {
                // usergroup is not allowed to access category
                return -1;
            }
        }

        return true;
    } 


Now, all abstracts methods from the original class must have defined in your file. You need to define fetch_associated_contentinfo in your file:

PHP Code:

    protected function fetch_associated_contentinfo($attachmentid){
        return;
    } 


I have uploaded the new glossaryentry.php .

I don't see the Fatal error and I can browse my PMs. I think my fix is better than byalik's due to I'm not editing the attach.php original file.

Thanks a lot. Everything is good and there is no FATAL error...:up:

Did it work?

[alaska_av8r]

I had a strange deal with the main editor for the articles. To get it to work I would have to delete the picture, rename it and then re-insert it in the article. Don't know if that will work for you though.

[alaska_av8r]

I am having issues with the popups not being large enough for the text. I don't know what to edit but it would appear to me that maybe the text needs padding around it.

Also the lines of text shown within the popup need some distance between them.

I have attempted to edit the configuration settings in the overlib_vbglossary.js file but they don't seem to have any effect at all.

Okay so I have been all over the overlib website and attempted to figure out how to enter overlib commands into the "custom display for popups" box and also tried the "additional options for overlib link" box but to no avail.

if I want to change the cell padding to 10 pixels, can someone show me the exact command (exact sytax) to enter into the appropriate box (which of the two boxes do I enter this command into, I can't figure out the difference between the two)

Any ideal how to fix it? Thanks...

Still having this problem but only if there are more then one result for the link. All links with a single result work fine. Any ideals???

Perhaps you haven changed the proper configuration. Check this, my pop-ups have border="5".

By the way, this should be easier to edit.
