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.

try

/includes/class_dm_vblinklist_entry.php

find

PHP Code:

     function vB_DataManager_vBLinklist_Entry(&$registry, $errtype = ERRTYPE_STANDARD)

    {
        parent::vB_DataManager($registry, $errtype);
        ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('vblinklist_entrydata_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;
    } 


replace with:

PHP Code:

        function __construct(&$registry, $errtype = ERRTYPE_STANDARD)  // rbc
    {
        parent::__construct($registry, $errtype);  // rbc

        ($hook = vBulletinHook::fetch_hook('vblinklist_entrydata_start')) ? eval($hook) : false;
    } 


give it a try ....

that makes me happy

I had a similar problem with the project tools,
dave has shown me the right way and so I could help them.

I used this with vB3.8.9 and have now upgraded to vb 5 Connect. Is there a compatible version for vb5 Connect available, or a suitable substitute?

[AllenBAN]

Running vBulletin 4.2.5 and tried to install this hack with the XML edit as mentioned here, also edited the max. version in the XML file and I can get the product to upload and the options to appear in admincp, it generates a link on my navbar, however the link to vblinklist.php does not work. It generates the following error: PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in /home/website/websitename.com/vblinklist.php on line 1873

Any ideas?

P.S. I am using PHP 7.0, could this be related?

[MarkFL]

What do you find at line 1873 in the referenced script?

[aeternitasster]

Nevermind thanks, it's fixed.

That was line 1873:

$parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

If anyone else has this problem and uses PHP 7, it can be corrected by removing the class assignment operator - the ‘&’ - which is no longer supported by PHP 7.
