Add-On Releases - vBulletin-Glossary

What is vBulletin-Glossary:

A professional glossary with features like :

• crosslinking
• attachments in entries
• edit-history
• synonyms
• optional entryfields
• 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.

Update from version 1.0.0 to version 1.0.1/version 1.0.1 to version 1.1.x:

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.

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)

Languages:

By default you will find the complete germany and english phrases in the product (look at ZIP-file), done by Captainslater. The turkish translation has been done by t?rkg?rc?.

More translations are welcome and it would be nice if those will be published here.

Don't create a new language but choose the language you want to import (eg. german).

Hi vossi, is there anyway to make an option when the edits of the entrys will be moderated as the new entries by usergroups? because there are some fools that dont have nothing better to do, that delete all the entrys, and yes, i know i can get it back, but if they know it has to be aproved first, wont do it...

is that possible? or i cant just see the option

i'm actually thinking also miss an option to make the reports go to a subforum, not pm...

and also wondering how much will cost the branding free

Vossi, can you contact me by mp please?

Hm, I dont know exactly what you mean. You can moderate new entries, no doubt about that. But that has nothing to do with users deleting entries. You can simply turn that off within the grouprights.

Is that what you meant?

That option is not available yet, but we might incloude it for the next release.

You got a PM about that.

[kud0gfx]

i mean when an user edit some existent entry, before his edit will be visible to public, it should be aproved by some mod, with that option, no one will try to ++++ it up...

Hi there Vossi and the rest of the team, excellent add-on!

I have a situation. I needed the glossary to work in Greek, so I hacked vbglossar.php to generate the Greek Alphabet:

I found

	// now do alpha-characters
	for ($i = 65; $i < 91; $i++)
	{
		$currentletter = chr($i);
		$linkletter =& $currentletter;
		$show['selectedletter'] = $ltr == $currentletter ? true : false;

		eval('$glossarletterbits .= "' . fetch_template('vbglossar_letterbits') . '";');
	}

and changed it to call the Greek characters. The problem here is that char 210 is not a valid Greek letter so I had to add some more code:

	// now do alpha-characters
	for ($i = 193; $i < 210; $i++)
	{
		$currentletter = chr($i);
		$linkletter =& $currentletter;
		$show['selectedletter'] = $ltr == $currentletter ? true : false;

		eval('$glossarletterbits .= "' . fetch_template('vbglossar_letterbits') . '";');
	}
		for ($i2 = 211; $i2 < 218; $i2++)
	{
		$currentletter = chr($i2);
		$linkletter =& $currentletter;
		$show['selectedletter'] = $ltr == $currentletter ? true : false;

		eval('$glossarletterbits .= "' . fetch_template('vbglossar_letterbits') . '";');
	}

I've located the string $i in the script and I've duplicated it using $i2 wherever it appears. For example after the code:

		for ($i = 0; $i < count($elist); $i++)
		{
			eval('$entryidstodelete .= "' . fetch_template('vbglossar_checkedentries') . '";');
		}

I have added

		for ($i2 = 0; $i2 < count($elist); $i2++)
		{
			eval('$entryidstodelete .= "' . fetch_template('vbglossar_checkedentries') . '";');
		}

. The problem is that I have found in line 371 the following:

			for ($i = 0; $i < sizeof($keywords); $i++)

and I'm not sure what to duplicate there. However, the Greek alphabet appears allright.

The result is that whenever I add a new entry I get the message:
Warning: htmlentities () [function.htmlentities]: charset 'ISO-8859-7' not supported, assuming iso-8859-1 in [path]/includes/class_dm_vbglossar_entry.php on line 314

The entry is being added though, but the alphabet sorting does not work properly.

I would really really really appreciate any help on my problem, as I have been waiting for such a splendid add-on for quite a while...

Vossi, thank you. Turned out that I didn't need to upload the file. I was a little confused at first with the language files. I've edited the product-vbglossar.xml to correct "Glossar" to "Glossary" wherever viewable on the client side (including Admin CP, Mod CP) as well as a few other spelling mistakes and English grammar issues that just don't translate well from German. I would like to e-mail you the new file so that you can review it and possibly use it for the current upload package.

Could you send me the URL and an account to that forum in order for me to check that myself (via PM)? I might have an idea...

[Hugo Holbling]

I hope it's okay to ask this: how does this glossary compare with the Geek Auto-linker?
