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 PL 1 - Fixed Version by G?rome, users can't write unwnated entries anymore.

• 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).

Thats what it does with mine too. It works without problems in a fresh install, also my other addons dont harm the function. I'm quite positive that another addon skrews up and that the glossary aint responsible. That's why i need to find the common addon between those people who have problems.

What happends if ALL other addons are disabled and only the glossary is activated, is the problem still there?

[toxin]

Ok, I'm going to try disabling other addons to see what's causing the problem - and if nothing then I'll try a new install.

1. I disabled ALL products (including vBulletin CMS and vBulletin Blog) and left only the Glossary. When you try to view PMs I get the same 500 error.

2. I then deleted the Glossary product and all the files from the webserver - and reinstalled 2.0.6 completely. When you try to view PMs I get the same 500 error.

This is the error from my webserver error log:

2011-10-08 14:30:56: (mod_fastcgi.c.2592) FastCGI-stderr: 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 /usr/home/httpd/vhosts/myhost.com/httpdocs/forums/packages/vbglossary/attach/glossaryentry.php on line 363

I'm running 4.1.7 with CMS.

Ooooooookay.... *confused*

This happened right after the update to 4.1.7? Which version of vB did you use before when it still worked?

[toxin]

Glossary 2.0.5 was working fine on vBulletin 4.1.3

I upgraded vBulletin to 4.1.4 and the Glossary stopped working so I disabled it.

I upgraded to vBulletin 4.1.5 and tried to use the Glossary again, but started getting problems with PMs so I upgraded Glossary to 2.0.6 and still had the PM error.

I am now running vBulletin to 4.1.7 and Glossary 2.0.6 and have the same error.

I'll try to fix that and check the attachment system due to that error message. Thansk for your help, I'm going to update the addon as soon as I fixed it.
