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.

Version for 4.1.5 has been uploaded. For an update it's enough to just replace vblinklist.php in forumroot.

just installed for the first time. got this error when trying to add a link:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function convert_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode() in /home/gamersch/public_html/vblinklist.php on line 1931

[Vossi]

In vblinklist.php search for (in line 1931):

PHP Code:

$message = ($vbulletin->GPC['wysiwyg'] ? convert_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode($vbulletin->GPC['message'], $catinfo['allowhtml']) : htmlspecialchars_uni($vbulletin->GPC['message'])); 


and replace with

PHP Code:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_wysiwygparser.php');
$html_parser = new vB_WysiwygHtmlParser($vbulletin);
$message = $html_parser->parse_wysiwyg_html_to_bbcode($vbulletin->GPC['message'], $catinfo['allowhtml']);

When I go to import the xml, I get this error:

The following dependencies were not met:
This product is not compatible with version 4.0.7 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 4.0.8 / Incompatible with 4.2.0 Alpha 1 and greater)

It seems this is supposed to be compatible with 4.0.7 so I am wondering why I am getting this error? Help please? Thanks!

[Vossi]

Well, it's not made for 4.0.7 and below, that's why

[Kat]

It sure doesn't say that anywhere that I could find. It says its for 4.X.X and someone else said they were using it on 4.01 or 4.02 I think. (I think it was even you that said you had it working on a verson lower than 4.07)

[Vossi]

But you were trying vblinkdirectory105.zip and not vblinkdirectory105vb415.zip , correct?
