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.

Go back one page, the instructions have been posted there

always best to read what others have posted, even if it is 36 pages long it sure helped me.

Can someone upload a package that is ready to go on 4.2 without issues? Or even email it to me, I just cannot seem to get it working and I'm not sure why. I don't know what I'm missing, but I'm getting low on programming time for the next few weeks and my members want this pretty bad.

Thank you

Absolutely first rate community spirit, thank you kindly for your consideration of fellow users here, myself included, most helpful.

Successfully installed it, uploaded all the files. When I go to myurl/vblinklist.php i just get a blank page.

Any ideas?

[nukinfuts29]

I'm an idiot, i forgot the .php

I've installed this nice mod on my 4.2.0 forum.
By doing the modification, the installation went very well without errors.

Nevertheless I'm missing in the Administration page the left admin menu called "vbulletin link Directory". So I can't create any category.

I've got all the settings in the the "vB Settings" page.

Any advice?

I would say to uninstall it, and reinstall it....The settings should be a drop down list on the top of the admin screen, and not in the vbulletin settings.

I have the same options in my vbulletin options, but yes you are missing the extended list in the admin panel.

I would try uninstalling and reinstalling,
in the meantime you could create your categories here:
admincp/admin_vblinklist.php?do=managecats

[adabros]

Hi people.
I'll want to display categories in a own page on my forum (example on home.php ).
what i'll do?!
And for Vba Cmps?
