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).

Is anyone else getting an error... I cant attach photos to the Glossary.. in the forum its fine,, but not in the glossary....

[Seductor]

Hi,

It works great, however I can't see the popups in my forum:


Any fix?

[Scalemotorcars]

What kind of server load does this create. I had the Geeks version and it killed me on load times.

[RSNF]

How many mods is this coder going to abandon as far as support goes?

[alaska_av8r]

Yeah I really like this mod. Keeping it updated I realize is a chore for sure, but that is why I wait to contribute to a mod. If it ceases to work as vBulletin is upgraded then I don't use it.

[Scalemotorcars]

Hover works fine but when I try to link to the glossary it rewrites the link and I get a white page.

For example. One word is Lacquer
Its URL is
http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/...7-lacquer.html

But if I link from a post its this.
http://www.scalemotorcars.com/forum/...n/tag/lacquer/

Anyone know where I went wrong?

[Scalemotorcars]

Well I cleared the cache and it fixed the issue above but I still have a problem with attachments.

Fatal error: Call to private method vB_Attachment_Store_vBGlossary_GlossaryEntry::verify_permissions() from context '' in /home/p16t2ugb/public_html/forum/newattachment.php on line 107

[Scalemotorcars]

Still having the error with attachments. Any updates for this?
