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.

I've literally just read 43 pages in regards to this Mod......Would really be great to have a file (I'm running 4.2.0) that you can just download/upload and not have to fix 437 things.....No offense, but I'm just sayin'.:erm:

If you want one then go ahead and write one. I have asked for various mods and when no one had one handy I wrote the modification I needed myself. No big deal.

It really is amazing how demanding people can be when they're looking for something for free.

Well lemme get you a cookie for being knowledgeable enough to write your own Mod, and why you're at it change your title from Member to Coder. I'm NOT very knowledgeable at all, and that was my whole point with my statement. I have a problem fixing one thing as it is man! Please let me know if I signed up and posted it the vbulletin.org Advanced Section, cause I surely would've entered the Beginner's Section. Thanks for your input and enjoy your cookie!

P.S.- I was just going through my posts and was like damn, that aint me, but that particular day sure was me cause lemme tell ya, it wasn't a good one, but anyways, I would've just deleted it when I saw it but you quoted/captured it, and threw a jab at me, so I've thrown a right hook. Anyways, please DELETE your post and I'll delete mine cause I don't want to be captured like this and the initial one here either.

Thanks

Hi support,
This mod is very useful to me and I love it, congratulations to the author!

QUESTION:
would not be possible to automatically create a topic (choosing the section where inserili) each time you create a new link to warn ALL users of this news?

Today, being "detached" from the vb forum, my users see the news only if they remember to enter vblinklist!

would be possible?
Thank you for your commitment

-----
I forgot:
if I enable "Google PageRank" I always value equal to ZERO also very popular on the site:-(
something wrong?

Link directories and unnatural reciprocating links are no good for seo these days.

Why it isn't here??

Can't believe that nobody ever checked that version yet.

I registered to be able to download it, but i'm still waiting for the activation email.

I just tried to add an url to the links directory and got:
The URL you entered is not valid. Please make sure that you have entered a valid URL.

What would cause that? The url is: http://www.interiorcamsupply.com/

Thanks
