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 personally didn't test it as I don't own a licence of GAL. But maybe this can be checked out by somebody who has an active GAL running.

I'm trying to install (new installation) vbglossary, but I got error:

Importing Product, Please Wait...

[:]

      Database Error 	Database error

What kind of database error?

[Excalibur!]

I don't know, but as you can see installation stops here:
* �ndere Tabelle/change table usergroup ...
and there is some strange letter...

I have a GAL license so I'll try this and let you know how it compares. How many queries are added to showthread?

Edit: I am testing this and so far I think it is better than GAL, particularly with ease of use. However, I am unable to get bbcode to display in crosslinks, even though I have the categories set correctly. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

The Crosslinking inside bbcodes is manually turned off due to our code in order to spare performance. With the next major release of the glossary, this will be an option and crosslinks within bbcodes can be used after we finally release the glossary with a new DOM-parser.

There is no errorcode? Aren't you getting a system-mail with more infos?

Maybe we mean the same thing but I meant that bbcode inside crosslinks won't display, not the other way around. Other than that, it's excellent.

How many queries does this product use?

The product works with Datastore, so there is one query left for showthread, in order to fetch the croslinkings, that' all.

And yes, about the bbcodes...thats the same I meant.

Okay, great - thanks for answering my questions. I will be swapping GAL for this as soon as the DOM-parser version is released. Nice job.
