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.

Can I make a small suggestion? I would like to prevent cross linking from linking back to the current page. eg. I'm viewing a glossary page all about 'potatoes', the word 'potatoes' and the synonyms 'potato' and 'spuds' should not be autolinked within the glossary definition / description because I am already on that page. Is it possible to add this feature or suggest where I might begin looking to edit the PHP?

Fantastic mod.... best for a long while

I didnt find a bug, maybe you should check the settings again as it works fine for me.

I did check the settings...that's why I posted here. Are there any known conflicts with other mods?

I made a post today, using one of the words I had in my Glossary and it didn't crosslink. It would seem this mod has a mind of its own.

[Saviour]

Take a look at this post on my board: http://www.glitchpcforums.com/forum/...&p=157#post157

I just started this thread. It has two different glossary words...one has been used twice and it is crosslinked twice.

These were the settings I had when I made that post.

1. Crosslinking is enabled
2. Global crosslinking is disabled
3. Restrict crosslinks in forums is set to "Yes"
4. Active Pages: All posts, single posts, Glossary are checked
5. Exclude crosslinks within the same entry is set to "No"

Now...I started another thread here: http://www.glitchpcforums.com/forum/...&p=158#post158

The only change I made to the settings was:

1. Exclude crosslinks within the same entry is set to "Yes"

It still crosslinked the same word three different times.

Now...if it works fine for you...that's great. However, it's not working for me. I'd just like to know if any of the mods I list here will interfere with this mod:

1. AddonChat
2. Auto Check Remember Me & Rules Boxes
3. GlowHost - Spam-O-Matic
4. Profile Fields in a Postbit Dropdown
5. SevenSkins Image Resizer
6. Skimlinks Plugin
7. vBadvanced Links Directory
8. vBulletin CMS
9. VSa - Advanced Forum Statistics
10. VSa - PayPal Donate
11. Wired1's Extra Profile Field Page
12. Wired1's Extra Profile Fields Tab

If it's any of the above...I'd have to assume it's the Skimlinks Plugin. However, it's installed but not enabled through the mod's settings. It comes with vbulletin 4.1.2.

Any other suggestions?

[Saviour]

I've also just found out that this mod does not work with Quick Reply. You have to use "Go Advanced". I posted a reply to one of the 4 different threads I've started on my board...and all of them are crosslinking the same word...more than once...within the same thread.

If you can't help me with this...no biggie...I'll just uninstall it...and look elsewhere for something similar. If I can't find one...that's no biggie, too.

Thanks for the help.

Uninstalled...

I have vBSEO installed...

Also, how do you submit a sitemap to google for this section?

[clathrop]

Kinda an odd little bug. Doesn't seem to hurt anything. I just removed two entries and the "Moderation Tools" button still shows "2" next to it. See photo.

[clathrop]

OK, just found a conflict issue with the AME CP Plugin (auto links youtube videos). When you post a youtube video to the same thread as something with a cross link all the crosslinks show as HTML code instead of properly rendered text with a link. (See screen shot or link to my test post http://www.performanceboats.com/test...ml#post1370233

I am going to go look into this conflict now but any help would be appreciated.

I suppose that changing the execution order of the Glossary plugin so that it executes after the AME plugin might help. Both are set to execute at 5. Can anyone tell me which plugins I would have to move to 6 (the parser plugins).

[Vossi]

Just try to place it at 6 and see what happens. Maybe that works.
