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.

Yup getting fatal error with 4.1.10 when trying to go to my PMs: Declaration of vB_Attachment_Store_vBGlossary_GlossaryEntry::veri fy_permissions() must be compatible with that of vB_Attachment_Store::verify_permissions() in /home/username/public_html/forum/packages/vbglossary/attach/glossaryentry.php on line 264

Not much support here, is there?

[alaska_av8r]

it appears that way, it is a shame this would be a useful mod

[blueperspective]

Indeed, very useful mod and I need it for a medical dictionary...
Unfortunatelly there's no support.

There is a patch on the German vbulletin site, but I can't grab it. Does anybody have access to that site? http://www.vbulletin-germany.org/sho...lletin-Lexikon

[yankidank]

Where is the link to view the edit history? I figured out that if I manually change the url do=showentry to do=history I can view it, but I don't see any reference to that anywhere on the showentry template file.

I also can't seem to figure out why the table of contents page won't show more than 36 items in it for me.

waitng for 4.1.11

[taxman]

Quick update to this... VBGLOSSARY was throwing up an Internal server error on my site since upgrading to 4.1.11. Could not access "settings" "Pm's" or anything related... Disabled and site works fine (could be conflicting with one of my other products but have no idea which, if any)
