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.

Updates can easily be done by just following the explanation for installation.

Working fine for me on 4.1.3 without a re-installation or anything. Except for the known bugs and issues (see pages before).

I asked a long time ago and wonder even more by now: is this mod still supported and will there be new versions? Thanks a lot!

[rm-rf]

Installed fine on 4.1.3 only thing I have a problem with is the backlink to thumb service not showing up anywhere yet.

great mod, installed it a while back, but just decided to start using it, but have a few questions.
Im currently using it as a directory for bowling alleys and pro shops, so first question is, is it possible so that i dont have to put a link address in if a shop or bowling center dosent have a web site.
Next question, is this mod compatible with skimlinks thats integrated with vb 4.1.2 ?

Anyone running this with 4.1.4

[Vossi]

I'm going to release 4.1.4-Version of my addons, but it'll take a few days. Besides the problem with the new editor there are also problems with the attachments as vBulletin also changed things in packages.

This looks great -- and I was wondering

1. is there a link to a live site using this mod?

More importantly can I have this mod have two functions and tabs?

function 1 - (tab 1) Media directory

I simply want a media library page where users can:

1. embed their youtube videos or playlists
2. embed audio (soundcloud etc)
3. embed photos (using image codes (i.e photobucket)
3. have thumb nails appear in a directory
4. be able to organize (and search) by Sections and categories
5. Rename tab to Media directory

Function 2 (Tab 2) Link Directory

Link directory as described --

I will be upgrading to 4.1.4 this weekend

Thanks

Is this Mod Compatible with VB 4.1.4?

Hello Vossi,

I am coming up with an error message which I have been advised is a problem between your two mods being Yellow Pages and Link Directory, can you tell me how to fix this.

regards and thanks

Mark
