microBUSINESS
ver 1.1.0 (Released 16 Oct 2009)

This is the Full Commercial Version
You must *** UNINSTALL *** any other version before

by MicroHellas
http://www.microhellas.com

DEMO:
http://www.microhellas.com/forums/business.php

User: demouser
Pass: demopass

Compatible with versions 3.6.x, 3.7.x, 3.8.x

Version 1.0.1 fixes the missing procedures: deleteprofile and deleteitem

To upgrade just upload business.php and re-import product-microbusiness.xml (check overwrite).

This is the Full Commercial Version (1.1.0)
You must *** UNINSTALL *** any other version before

1.- Usage

• Business directory, Links directory and much more.
• Each user can has unlimited companies
• Each company can has unlimited items (shops, links etc)
• Google Maps
• Rating and Reviews

2.- Installation










The installation is pretty easy, has been checked many times for installing and uninstalling the product. Just follow these steps below:

• Download and unzip the file microBUSINESS.zip
• Open the folder vbulletin and select all files and subfolders inside it
• Connect to your website and open the directory where is your vBulletin installation (usally forum, forums, portal etc).
• Upload the selected files to your site. If you fellow the right way then the file business.php must be on the same level as the index.php file of vBulletin.
• CMOD 777 folders:
  • microbusiness/files/
  • microbusiness/photos/
  • microbusiness/photos/thumbs/
  • microbusiness/photos/tmp
• Before any new installation is good to backup your database before, even if nobody is doing it (including me). At lease turn your site off
• Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
• From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product-microbusiness.xml

3.- Configuration










As every vBulletin product, you need to make some initial configurations before it goes live.

• MicroSUPPORT Options
• Google Map API key. If you plan to use Google maps you must obtain a free api key.
• Setup categories and feature list (if you plan to use it).
• Setup usergroup permissions.

4.- Template Modification


The module is using it's own templates, so it doesn't needs any template modification except if you want to add a link to the navbar. In this case you need to modify the NavBar template.


Open it and find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">
$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Add below:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="business.php$session[sessionurl_q]">
Directory</a></td>

5.- Copyright

• This software is copyrighted work of Maria Avlatzi (MicroHellas) and copyright removal doesn't allowed.
• You can NOT re-distribute this module even for free.

6. Commercial Version

In the upcoming days I'll release a commercial version with some additional features:

• Thread for each post (depending on usergroup permissions)
• Post appoval or not (currently all post are auto approved)
• User should be able to post unlimited companies and/or items. Now all usergroups can post unlimited.
• more are coming....

Enjoy it

I do have a couple of questions though...Would it be possible to set up two independent directories on one forum with this? I would like to set up a business directory as well as a resource directory so I can get them off my forums. I look forward to hearing from you!

It can be done, but it needs attention. You need to replace all:
microbusiness --------> microresources (or any other unique name)
business.php --------> resources.php

If your text editor supports the feature "Ask before replace", then activate it. It will takes you a bit more time but is safier.

You also need to change the filenames.

He didn't asked for support. He just placed a comment. If you see below, I replied to other support requests.
And to place the dot end in this topic. Nobody asked you to use my mods. If you like my mods and the way that I'm supporting them, is ok. Otherwise please stay away from me. I don't like smarty people like you.

There is no limit on categories levels. You can add as many subcat levels as you like.

You can already do it. Just the search includes the specific category and all subcategories (if they are exists).
