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.

Sorry Vossi - I was referring to the post by Whity - he's trying to fix the fault with the Glossary stopping anyone from opening PMs. He's made some changes to attach.php ...

This is the original glossaryentry.php 11 July 2011 release of vbulletin-germany.org

Guys, DON'T replace ANY original files which came with vBulletin. There is NO NEED for that.

I'm going to add a new version by tomorrow which works with vBulletin 4.1.5 and higher. But just don't play around by changing original vBulletin files as that could cause a lot of problems with other functions. Geez....

Vossi

Thanks

Vossi, as per your instruction above, (2.0.6 - Version for vBulletin 4.1.4 with small bug fixes.) I installed 2.0.6 on 4.1.4 can you please tell me the file of files to revert so attachments work for the glossary. Thanks...
