Add-On Releases - vBulletin Link Directory

What is vBulletin Link Directory:

vBulletin Link Directory with vBulletin integration has a couple of functions and options that a comfortable link directory needs to have:

• Links can be moderated
• Categories with subcategories (with images/icons/descriptions/etc)
• Subcategories in subcategories
• Comment-function (also moderated)
• Uses the forum search for finding links
• Detailed usergroup and administrator permissions
• Uses vBseo and vBCMS
• Facebook integration
• Thumbnail and banner function
• Additional pictures/icons in categories
• Fully vB-standard kept within code
• Additional Functions for Links/Images
• Meta-Informations
• Check if link exists, read linked site informations, etc
• Google PageRank
• Alexa Page Traffic
• 'Link-us'-function
• Additional style settings (fixed sizes for banners/images by stylevars)
• Show direktlink and thumbnails while categorie view

Installation/Update:

Upload all files you find in /upload to your forum root and change
the read/write permissions of:

/vblinklist/backup
/vblinklist/image

to 0777 in order to be able to make backups if needed.

Afterwards import 'product-vblinklist.xml' in admincp. Then configure the group permissions aswell as the administrator permissions.

Now you can change the settings of the addons in admincp and create categories like you want to.

The Link Directory is ready to use now, every function is used to vB-standard.

Adding the widget:

Admincp -> 'vBulletin CMS' -> 'Widgets' -> 'Create new widget'

Widget type: PHP Direct Execution
Title: Link Directory
Description: Shows a random entry and statistic from vBulletin Link Directory in CMS

Then 'Save' the widget and you'll see the list with the widgets alreday available in your forum. At the right side from 'Yellow Pages' you klick 'Configure' and enter the follwing information:

'Enter Php Code, in the form "$results = "':

PHP Code:

global $vbulletin, $vbphrases, $show, $stylevar;
include(DIR . "/vblinklist/widgets/widget_linklist_stats.php"); 


Template Name: vblinklist_widget_stats
Cache refresh time (minutes): 5

Then 'Save' the configuration. The file to include (DIR . "/vblinklist/widgets/widget_linklist_stats.php") can be found in the vBulletin-CMS folder in the ZIP-file to this product.

Now you can place the widget with the Layout Manager.

Tools:

You'll find import-scripts in the 'tools'-directory to import links from other addons if needed.

General:

Updates can easily be done by just following the explanation for installation.

This addon will be supported by me, please take care of the license.txt-file.

IT IS NOT ALLOWED TO REMOVE OR CHANGE THE COPYRIGHT IN ANY WAYS.

Brandfree versions are available, please get in touch with me using PM for that.

Your feedback is welcome, please post bugs in this thread.

Facebook like links and share link on facebook ?

Sorry to bother, I don't see it, neither I find a setting. Could you please give me a small hint how and where to get that to work? Thanks a lot!

And would it be possible to get the widget to work in the sidebar blocks as well :-)?

It's solved, Im an idiot

[ceho]

Ok now I am pissed!!! Instead of blaming me in public you better check your PayPal Account and your PM's man!!!!!

I donated the requested 25€ before I installed your addon and you even explained to me via pm how to remove the copyright!!! And I reported the domain I wanted to use it on!!! That was in the beginning of last week!!

If it's your policy to insult people who support you just because you don't know how to organize yourself just tell me to uninstall the directory and send me back my money!!!

I didn't do anything wrong and I am the last on Earth to disrespect copyrights and intellectual property!!!!!

And spare calling me unfair and slapping your face and writing all in red to me!! Thanks for that kind of support!

Unbelievable!!!!

[Vossi]

Dude, I didnt know that domain for sure, when was that? If I made a mistake, then I'm very very sorry, but I cant find anything

Could you please send me the copy of it?

[Vossi]

I'm quite sorry, but I swear I didnt know the income not the domain yet. And yes, you are right. There are so many people abusing this, that I got quite mad when i found about 10 sites removing the copyright without asking, even putting their own name into it.

[ceho]

Only when I am at home tonight. I sent you the donation confirmation via pm on 22nd of January at 13:40, that was one minute after I donated via PayPal. Username ceho, domain www.cureconnections.com.

It's a pity, I really like your link directory and nominated it and rated it excellent.

I am sure you will find my pm and the donation on your PayPal account. Just a friendly advice: maybe better check first before accusing others in public...

Maybe then you can help me again. Some posts ago I made a suggestion you liked and intended to add, so I am really positive on the addon and hope this little incident is over soon!

[Vossi]

Like i said, everything is fine, my reaction was wrong.

[ceho]

Ok, let's just pretend this never happened :-).

I perfectly understand and support any defense of copyrights! I would freak out as well if I'd identify someone who really (-) abused my copyrights.

Onwards mate!
