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.

Hi,

I'm using products since one year and I'm very happy with it but I have now a problem with Thumbnails.
I'm using artiviper but since a few weeks (may be more), thumbnails are not generated.
Did you have an idea ?

One more things, is it possible to add a link directly on main part of the program.
Users are not happy to choose a category before enter their links.

Thanks

[bpi007]

Which Thumbnails generator do you use ?

Hello all,

I am running an older version without issues on vb 4.1.1 but have just upgraded to vb 4.2 on my test site and want to upgrade to the latest version of this software, do I just overwrite the vblinklist.php file in the forum root is it that simple.

Anyone know how I could remove the created by and create at titles and info from the individual categories pages and also from the individual entries

I would also like to remove the "whats going" on from the main page any ideas

All entries are done by admin so I really don"t need this displayed

After doing all the mods suggested on here to be able to use 4.2.0 i get these errors: (Below)

Now i had the same errors before i added the suggested mods, regarding the error Invalid User Specified Before i upgraded to 4.2.0 i had no issues and i still have all the relevant permissions in place. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Go to Nav Manager under settings. Click on Forum to open that menu. Uncheck "active" on the item you do not want to show. Clear your cache and it will be gone. "What's going on" should be under forum. Any other sub items, go the the section as indicated by the top level menu.

Hi vossi.

Why it isn't here??

[ti6]

Just a question. If i want to add a link - there are fields like "Title", "Link-Url", "Banner" etc. How can i add there a custome field? For Example that u can put after "Title" a field named "Sub-Title".
Is this possible?
