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.

I am using the glossary for multipurposes. One of them is an English-My language dictionary. Problem is, with the cross linking, the post is invaded, with almost every single word, whether it's one letter 'a' or virtually every single word. Is there a way to disable cross linking for certain categories?

[Lionel]

OK, I created an extra setting where I put the categories to exclude from crosslinking and I am excluding them in the query in function fetch_glossar_items()

[Excalibur!]

It seems that this mod gives a blank registration page...

[Krieg]

I've installed it and all I can say is that it works wonderfully (vB 3.7.2).

One suggestion however, in the Crosslink admin section, you can change the background color and font color for the popup. But the border is still blue by default. I had to change var ol_bgcolor="#FFCC66"; in overlib_vbglossar.js to do so. Maybe a good workaround would be to make font color and ol_bgcolor equal

Anyway, thank you for your work and keep it up !

[Lionel]

Does anyone else has any issue with editing an entry with attachment?

[kud0gfx]

i've a problem when i create a new entry, and press the preview button, it shows the preview, but the editor disappears... is there a way that this dont happens?

[Vossi]

I just uploaded Version 1.1.0. We fixed a lot of bugs and the new version contains a lot of new functions (like synonyms, optional entryfields, vbseo-supported, etc).

[kud0gfx]

thank you very much vossi, its all working now, do you know if in a future will be a threaded system like in the forums?

thx for all

[tiger]

Thanks for the update. This just keeps getting better.

[a squared]

Will sound like a dumb question. But, where should the language XML file be uploaded to?
