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.

• 1.0.0 - First version
• 1.0.0 PL 1 - Fixed Version by G?rome, users can't write unwnated entries anymore.

• 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).

• 1.1.0 - added more main-features (synonyms can be used now, optional use of entryfields within categories, PDF-functions included, vB-SEO kompatible, TOC-list, etc)

That's a real funny found, if the glossary is enabled this membermap doesn't work right.
Markers of members are not shown.

Hi there!

I bring a new update! If you use PHP5, you will find the following error:

PHP Error : Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated

If you use PHP4, you need to do this if you want to pass the value by reference:
$var1 =& new class1();
But in PHP5, by default is passed by reference, so you must do:
$var1 = new class1();

Due to that, If you use PHP5 you need to update your vbglossar.php.

What do you mean, I still use it.

I installed it yesterday on 4.1.12 p2 and is working fine. All it takes is just Seductor's fix which is just over writing one simple file that repairs the PM issue. Like with all mods on here, one should always read through the last pages of posts. Without Seductor's fix it won't work though for most versions.

The really only major downside to this mod is that you can't attach photos into the glossary. You are supposed to be able to but when you upload an attachment it just displays the link. When you edited the entry the photo displays though. Has anyone figured this issue out yet? The suggestion to changed the attach.php file in Vbull will not work for any newer versions and really not a file anyone should be editing anyway. If we can get the attachments to work that would be a major plus.
