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 problems...

Anyone having issues with a 3.8x install of this mod or is it safe to install?

It's safe to install

When editing a new entry, I am getting an error when adding an attachment. The error is as follows....

Could not create file system directory to hold your attachment.

Any fix for this?

EDIT: (Figured I'd ask everything in one post)

1. Instead of the text, BBCode from the entry shows on the category view and on the preview popup.

2. When the crosslinks are using the synonyms, it doesn't show a preview when there is more than one word in the synonym field. Is that done purposely?

3. How do you adjust the vBSEO custom rewrite rules to change it from "lexikon" to our own term? And, should the entry title and category titles display in the URL?

4. How do you add the vB Glossary pages to the vBSEO Sitemap mod? Any tips there?

5. Seems like the Table of Contents (http://www.waltdisneyboards.com/lexikon/?do=toc) is only displaying the glossary entries from Category 1. Is that supposed to be that way?

6. Is there or can there be an RSS feed as new entries are added?

7. How can we change the images on the category view to be the attachment from within the entry? This will make it a nice visual image instead of a static image.

Hi,

I have installed and it works fine. The only problem, crosslinked popup can not show Turkish characters. I guess it is using overlib_vbglossar.js file. Is there a way to add 8859-9 for popup text rendering?

[MagicThemeParks]

Added a couple more suggestions/questions on Post #334

Hope Vossi helps us with some of these

So getting this error on install. Should be using engine instead of type as engine has been removed and I believe still works in older versions of mysql.

vBulletin-Glossary doesn't seem to be compatible with vBulletin 4.1.4. I get blank UserCP pages.

From our Apache error log:

PHP Fatal error: Declaration of vB_Attachment_Store_vBGlossary_GlossaryEntry::veri fy_permissions() must be compatible with that of vB_Attachment_Store::verify_permissions() in .../packages/vbglossary/attach/glossaryentry.php on line 265

Argh. I've got the vB4 version installed, but I replied to the wrong thread
Sorry!

There is a problem with the mod for version 4. Does anyone have a fix?
