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.

No, it is for vb3.7 and 3.8. But it is fixed version (one year newer than 1.10), vB3.8 compatible at last. Using translate google com found they are probably planning to port it to vb4 also.
So, I am implementing in on my site. It is gerat, just fantastic mod.

This overload the server and it crashed. My host disable my account by this.
Can you tell me how to fix this?

To uninstall it, we delete all the files uploaded previously and uninstall the product from the admin CP.

Thanks in advance for you support.

As a matter of fact the glossary istnt compatible to vB4 yet but a version for vB4 will be released as soon as the membermap has been ported.

If you deleted vbglossar.php... how could it be used and caused such an error? I hardly doubt that the glossary was de-installed for good. Also the URL works but shows a crashed vB4, I dont see any disconnected site I believe that the upgrade to 4.0 didnt work

IIRC xml files in /includes/xml play impotrant part in such kind of errors. Tested Chatbox EVO and had problems with nonexistent columns because of forgotten XMLs left here.

Hi, The site is not crashed, it was blocked by my hosting to overload by this errors.
the version 1.1.1 is compatible with vb4?

I don´t know what happen with this mod, but the error mention this mod and I do not understand why.

[Reef Man]

I already take it out and it is still the same.

Back everything up. Shut down your forum. Take a look at all the vbglossar files that were uploaded and remove them all. To find out where all of them are, look at the files you uploaded.

Next, go into your database admin and search for vbglossar I think there are tables it created and wherever else it is, delete all these tables.

The problem is there is no clean way to remove this add-on. It's a great idea for a product but I couldn't use it on my forum either as it was too buggy.
