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.

Hello Vossi,

Any news on the update and PLEASE can you help fix my error below, we are really stuck here and cant launch our website with the error.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare fetch_table_dump_sql() (previously declared in /var/www/clients/client11/web26/web/includes/adminfunctions_vbyellowpage.php:150) in /var/www/clients/client11/web26/web/includes/adminfunctions_vblinklist.php on line 168

I think your mods are great and appreciate all the effort that has gone into them. I really dont want to have to uninstall but without a fix on the above problem it is getting to the stage were I have no choice. PLEASE HELP

Hello Vossi

Is this mod no longer supported???

[dmm2020]

I hope support has not died down on this. I am getting the below error showing in the attempt to upload a banner image even though I have all settings at 600 for testing on this error: The width I am trying to load is 468px.

I sure hope it is. A lot of good mods have been simply abandoned lately. In a way I can understand it. When it's free there is no true motivation to keep it going and people don't always show thanks even.

[Mark4865]

I am happy to donate for this mod and Yellow Pages Vossi's other mod but I need to know it is going to be supported as currently both these mods seem unsupported not sure what is happening

[BadgerDog]

I did donate and although I haven't upgraded to 4.1.4 yet, I'm concerned about getting future support as well.

Regards
Doug

Display icon for directlink?
Display a small icon right to the entryname when having a look at a category. Klicking this icon causes the browser to jump to the url of the specific entry on the list.

^ this option does not work.. it just shows the same link in words

[Mark4865]

Vossi please confirm if you have decided not to support this mod

The rewrite-rules look like this:

The link directory then uses full vB-SEO support.

How can I get the SEO to be full category and subcategory:

instead of
http://www.blincmagazine.com/forum/l...-associations/



and I want to get rid of the number like:

That specific file could be imported with Wimpex bo Coroner, but Wimpex keeps the widgetid static and doesnt check for double templates, so it might cause errors while importing. That's why i prefer the 'manual' installation.

Is there a chance you give give me a step by step instruction how to install and USE the widget?
