DEMO:
http://www.microhellas.com/forums/business.php

User: demouser
Pass: demopass

Compatible with versions 3.6.x, 3.7.x, 3.8.x

Version 1.0.1 fixes the missing procedures: deleteprofile and deleteitem

To upgrade just upload business.php and re-import product-microbusiness.xml (check overwrite).

This is the Full Commercial Version (1.1.0)
You must *** UNINSTALL *** any other version before

1.- Usage

• Business directory, Links directory and much more.
• Each user can has unlimited companies
• Each company can has unlimited items (shops, links etc)
• Google Maps
• Rating and Reviews

2.- Installation










The installation is pretty easy, has been checked many times for installing and uninstalling the product. Just follow these steps below:

• Download and unzip the file microBUSINESS.zip
• Open the folder vbulletin and select all files and subfolders inside it
• Connect to your website and open the directory where is your vBulletin installation (usally forum, forums, portal etc).
• Upload the selected files to your site. If you fellow the right way then the file business.php must be on the same level as the index.php file of vBulletin.
• CMOD 777 folders:
  • microbusiness/files/
  • microbusiness/photos/
  • microbusiness/photos/thumbs/
  • microbusiness/photos/tmp
• Before any new installation is good to backup your database before, even if nobody is doing it (including me). At lease turn your site off
• Check at your AdminCP->vBulletin Options->Plugin/Hook System that Plugin system is enabled.
• From your AdminCP->Plugin System->Manage Products choose Add/Import Product and import the product: product-microbusiness.xml

3.- Configuration










As every vBulletin product, you need to make some initial configurations before it goes live.

• MicroSUPPORT Options
• Google Map API key. If you plan to use Google maps you must obtain a free api key.
• Setup categories and feature list (if you plan to use it).
• Setup usergroup permissions.

4.- Template Modification


The module is using it's own templates, so it doesn't needs any template modification except if you want to add a link to the navbar. In this case you need to modify the NavBar template.


Open it and find:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="calendar.php$session[sessionurl_q]">
$vbphrase[calendar]</a></td>

Add below:

<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="business.php$session[sessionurl_q]">
Directory</a></td>

5.- Copyright

• This software is copyrighted work of Maria Avlatzi (MicroHellas) and copyright removal doesn't allowed.
• You can NOT re-distribute this module even for free.

6. Commercial Version

In the upcoming days I'll release a commercial version with some additional features:

• Thread for each post (depending on usergroup permissions)
• Post appoval or not (currently all post are auto approved)
• User should be able to post unlimited companies and/or items. Now all usergroups can post unlimited.
• more are coming....

Enjoy it

Maria

Hey Thanks for the MOD,

However there are few issues with it?

1. I can not delete an Item whenever I do so it takes me to a blank page and nothing happens next.

2. When I add an Item I get this message
Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in [path]/business.php on line 524

however the it passes this through the item gets done.

3. As it was mentioned earlier, I am a MAC user and uses FireFox, The layout it not compatible with FireFox.

I have checked in it both Safari and Explorer and the layout is great on those two browsers.

4. Even though I have changed the Max Number of Photos an item can have to 10 I can not add more than 5

5. When you create a category which has a sub-category and then decide to delete it. It gets deleted with no issues however the sub-category will not be deleted with it and the entire content of this sub-category is available and there is no other way to alter it or delete it.

Thanks again
Omar

Hey I am back again, sorry but there are some other issues as well

6. Bookmarking is not working properly. When you click book mark it takes you to a redirect page which states "Invalid data specified"

7. the Hide option in the CP does not funtion, it does exactly what the delete button do. Takes you to an empty page and no action happens there.

8. When there is more than one item in a category the page breaks and shows like this

I will be back as I really like this and would love to have it working smoothly.

Thanks again for the great MOD

Regards,
Omar

Hey, I am trying to buy your microtravel script but your website appears to be down. I have tried to PM you but you have chosen not to allow that here. Please post some way to contact you.

This is an awesome hack. At my skill level I will have to wait until it is out of the Beta phase. Though I may try it out on a test forum soon! Until now I have been using the actual forums and polls to do a similar listing for my businesses, so I eagerly await the official release of this mod!

I do have a couple of questions though...Would it be possible to set up two independent directories on one forum with this? I would like to set up a business directory as well as a resource directory so I can get them off my forums. I look forward to hearing from you!

I have installed this on my test board and am getting sql errors. I have a feeling it is something to do with an old hack though. Any thoughts?

As all of you, I need my vacation time, right? I'll be back in my office (and so in any activity), on Sep 1st.
