Add-On Releases - vBulletin-Glossary

What is vBulletin-Glossary:

A professional glossary with features like :

• crosslinking
• attachments in entries using vBullstin attachment system
• searchable by using the vBulletin standard search
• edit-history just like in wikipedia
• synonyms to combine crosslinkings to other words
• optional entryfields for more details of entry
• vb-SEO compatible
• etc.

Installation:

- Upload all files in 'upload' to your server

- set 777-permission for the following directories:

• /vbglossar
• /vbglossar/backup
• /vbglossar/temp

- Import 'product-vbglossar.xml' in AdminCP as Add-On.

Right after the import of the productfile, go and set the usergroups. Afterwards edit the setting in AdminCP (Settings and Crosslinking). Now go to 'manage categories' and create the wanted cats.

Now the glossary should be configured and ready to use.

Updates from previous versions:

Follow the instruction of a new installation, also check the file permissions. After importing the product (overwrite: yes), check the grouprights and the settings of the glossary as there are some new features. In case the entries won't show up, please rebuild the datastore in the tools-section of the glossarin in admincp.

Template Modification:

Edit template 'search.css' and check for the following text

/* as post */

Please include the following code above this:

.threadinfo.glossaryentry a.threadstatus
{
background-image:url({vb:stylevar imgdir_searchresults}/search_results_glossaryentry.png);
background-position: 11px 6px;
}

General:

This addon has been developed by the follwing people (a-z): Andreas, Captainslater, G?rome, Surviver and me. We spent every free minute for this project (coding, translation, tests, etc). Also MrD and Ragtek have tested during the time when this addon got developed.

In directory '/tools' you might find a usefull Script by G?rome. User of vBCMS will find a module for their portal in directory 'vbcms' which shows a random entry of the glossary.

History:

• 1.0.0 - First version
• 1.0.0 PL 1 - Fixed Version by G?rome, users can't write unwnated entries anymore.
• 1.0.1 - overwork of the code, now working with datastore and datamanager. Also we included some small new features into the addon (e. g. revert entries, inlinemod, etc).
• 1.0.2 - overwork of the code, bugs removed, a lot of new features
• 1.0.3 - fixed more small bugs and added new functions (create threads for discussions, more options for crosslinking, better options for mods/admins, etc).
• 1.0.4 - bugfix-release.
• 1.1.0 - added more main-features (synonyms can be used now, optional use of entryfields within categories, PDF-functions included, vB-SEO kompatible, TOC-list, etc)
• 2.0.5 - Version for vBulletin 4.x with additional new features, bugs fixed.
• 2.0.6 - Version for vBulletin 4.1.4 with small bug fixes.

Very good mod, thanks.

I issue though: crosslinks popup display well in forum posts, but in cms article it doesn't display on mouseover.
I checked the source file and noticed that the vbglossar_headinclude template didn't seem to be called in the cms (call for overlib_vbglossar.js).
The solution I found to make it work properly was to manually add it in vbcms_page template:

{vb:cssfile glossary.css}	
<script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/overlib_vbglossar.js"></script>
<!-- overLIB (c) Erik Bosrup -->
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
ol_timeout={vb:raw ol_timeout};
ol_width={vb:raw ol_width};
ol_fgcolor="{vb:raw ol_fgcolor}";
ol_textcolor="{vb:raw ol_textcolor}";
ol_vbglossar_delay={vb:raw ol_vbglossar_delay};
//-->
</script>

There must be a better solution to automatically add this..

I now notice that this mod is conflicting with Tapatalk Mod.
When we browse the forum on a mobile phone (iphone) with tapatalk, the text stops displaying at the first crosslinked word. It's a real pity!

I found a solution in tapatalk mod's forum.
Disabling hooks did it in mobiquo.php (tapatalk file)

define('DISABLE_HOOKS', true);

Another cross linking problem. vBseo relevant replacements are broken when a cross link is encountered.
