What is vBulletin-Glossary:
A professional glossary with features like :
crosslinking
attachments in entries
edit-history
synonyms
optional entryfields
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.
Update from version 1.0.0 to version 1.0.1/version 1.0.1 to version 1.1.x:
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.
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)
Languages:
By default you will find the complete germany and english phrases in the product (look at ZIP-file), done by Captainslater. The turkish translation has been done by t?rkg?rc?.
More translations are welcome and it would be nice if those will be published here.
Suggestion: case-insensitive crosslinking.
If i wrote some entry with "Y2K" as title, then both "y2k" and "Y2K" are correctly crosslinked to the Glossary, but just "Y2K" shows the preview; the other one shows a text (in german; the one on function cb($matches)). If both have a good crosslink to the right glossary's term, i think both must show the preview no mater the user write it (following the example) as "y2K" "y2k" or "Y2K".

We are actually working on the routine for crosslinking and we hope to fix those combinations and get the crosslinking even more stable. It's not easy to combine a good crosslinking-routine with vBulletin as there are a lot of things which need to be thought of (eg. the postcache, BB-Codes, URL's and so on...). As we care a lot about the quality of addons and keeping up the vB-standards, we needed to build a stable base first und improve complicated routines just like the crosslinking while still working on the addon.
I would love to enable this crosslinking only for specific groups ... if possible. If you set a category visible only for one group (as seen in picture above) crosslinking work only for this group?
Keep up the good work.
And still waitng for help on how to make crosslinking work with vbseo (mmodule insalled well but no crosslinking at all with vbseo) Someone made it work ... I have uninstall it and wait for the fix
Love to have it.
