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.

Any near term plans for a release that fixes the images not showing up bug?

Has anyone found out how to use the widget_statistic.php file?

"[a module] which shows a random entry of the glossary"

[RS_Jelle]

vBulletin-Glossary doesn't seem to be compatible with vBulletin 4.1.4. I get blank UserCP pages.

From our Apache error log:

PHP Fatal error: Declaration of vB_Attachment_Store_vBGlossary_GlossaryEntry::veri fy_permissions() must be compatible with that of vB_Attachment_Store::verify_permissions() in .../packages/vbglossary/attach/glossaryentry.php on line 265

Hi Vossi

I have had the blank settings pages and user PM's aren't working also - I have disabled the glossary and all worked fine. I really like this mod and use it a lot and wonder will you be issuing a patch please?

[Vossi]

I'm going to release 4.1.4-Version of my addons, but it'll take a few days. Besides the problem with the new editor there are also problems with the attachments as vBulletin also changed things in packages.

[MagicThemeParks]

Good to hear that new releases are coming out. Will you also be updating the 3.8x version of vBulletin Glossary with the fixes needed for that version?

Thank you very much for you reply.

Vossi, do entries have to be placed under a category? In other words I would like to be able to just enter entries without creating categories. I am doing a boating terminology glossary and I like the idea of a user searching for items....or selecting the alphabetical list you have running across the top.

But it won't let me put any entries in without a category.

thanks

I just uploaded Version 2.0.6. This Version is for 4.1.4 and higher only (changes to attachment system and ck-editor, also it includes some bug fixes).
