Add-On Releases - vBulletin-Glossary

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.

Hm, once again for me to understand your problem...

Links to Rapidshare, which you put into code-tags, are getting screwed up and instead of the link there appears a crosslink to the glossary?

To which entry does it link? Could you give me your URL (via PM) so that I can have a look at it myself?

First off, I just want to say this is an awesome mod. Now I just need to get all of the information into it. :rolleye:

I do have a question. Is there a way to associate 2 words with 1 entry? I ask because I run a car site, so some of the main entries will be sensors. Some people will type out the word itself (oxygen sensor) whereas other will just use the abbreviation (O2 sensor). I could make 2 entries, but it would be better if there was a way to do an association of multiple words to a single entry.

This is one of the best mods ever.

Thank you so much!!!

First of all, I'd like to say I LOVE IT!!! Great job man!

Just curious, is there a way to prevent duplicate entries from being submitted into the Moderation Q? Thanks!

[rooban12]

hmmmz and that should make it safe ? No it doesn't actually chmod 777 means world writable (anybody can write on a directory with this permission) so the fact your hack doesn't contain anything that possibly would cause an issue does not mean it is safe.You should always try to avoid chmod 777
