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.

IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO REMOVE OR CHANGE THE COPYRIGHT IN ANY WAYS.

Brandfree versions are available, please get in touch with me using PM for that.

Your feedback is welcome, please post bugs in this thread.

Love it, but quick question....

Is there a way to add a field to the new entry form? We require a link back depending on the site and would like for that field to be there so we can easily check to see if our link is on their site before we approve it. Additionally, is there a way to make it viewable (once it has been submitted) viewable only to certain groups (random guests and members don't need to see that link displayed).

Hope I made sense.

[Vossi]

I would like to know where to change these settings as well.

Edit: Do you just need to upload the files to the admin/mod folders and that's it? I haven't installed this yet, awaiting a response.

Hello Vossi ...

I think I found a critical error ...

As a test, I exported the list to back it up, then imported it ...

Got a duplicate KEY SQL which crashed the database ...

Because of the private info that appears in the SQL error, I've sent it to you via PM....

I'm not sure why there would be an error, but it's on key 1:

MySQL Error : Duplicate entry '1' for key 1
Error Number : 1062

The only other thing worth noting is that I created the entries under by username "Badger" and then changed them using your built-in change function to appear as being entered by username "Admin", which is how it would have been saved, so I don't know if that's a factor or not.

Regards,
Doug

Edit: ooops ... you have PM function turned OFF, so I'm not sure how to send you the SQL error data?

[AzHousePro]

Looks like I am getting the same error as ash...

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 20
Error Number : 1064
