Hmm, interesting.

Appears you may have it as a review system as well. Sure would make a lot of people very happy then. :)

SS9267547

04-01-2006, 09:28 AM

Yeah very easy to make it as anything you want it to be really be it articles, reviews, etc. Just needs a few changes to the code. However I did have in the makings of a review system or perhaps it would be more of a whole gaming site portal type deal with cheats, reviews, etc lol. However I havn't decided on if I want to release it here as a freebie or have it as a commercial product oh and there is the fact I don't know if anyone would really need it other then me.

* RS_Jelle clicks install :)

A suggestion: make it W3C compliant:

1. Fix a lot of &'s to & (you should use HTML entities)
2. Fix some <br> tags to <br /> (the br element should be self-closed in XHTML)
3. When $letterbits isn't displayed on the glossary home and on search results pages, you get the following in the source code:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="6" cellspacing="1" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr align="center">

</tr>
</table>
This isn't W3C compliant: you can't have an empty tr tag. You should make a conditional for this, to hide this table when $letterbits isn't displayed.

Ah getting sloppy lol. Forgot to look over the html code. Thanks RS_Jelle for the information, will add to next update if one is done.

Nice work :)

I think that there's some non-HTML parsing or extra escaping going on in this screenshot (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=45040&d=1143859706)

I've had a great idea for an additional feature too. If glossary words were highlighted in posts (double underlined?) you could hyperlink parts of the post with links to the glossary.

I've got some ideas of how best to do this in terms of design :)

SS9267547

04-01-2006, 10:52 AM

Will until I'm off onto another project and disappear from the planet as I tend to do, might happen soon, there is the possiablity for additional updates. If you guys see problems, have solutions, extra code, ideas, etc, etc please do post and I'll see if I can do. Anyway the 'html' issue has been noted and will be looked into.

What about permisions to groups to add in a glossary wiht premoderation or directly in it? :)
I know it's not so easy but .... will be GRATE!!!!

D.Ilyin / Oddjob: We'll see, depends on the demand and how I feel lol. Would also need to learn how to add updates to this plugin system without people reinstall the script over. ;)

am-fs: I don't have cings glossary system so I don't know how its set up. You'd have to at least send me the install script so I can see how the database is setup.

RS_Jelle: Thanks for the release!

Wonderful addition I had something like this with my old phpBB board and when I moved to VB I was upset I lost it as I needed alot of medical terminology in my site and a place for ppl to view common terms and what they meant this is a perfect add on I also agree though would be nice to have it based on usergroups who can add to it..hard when its only admin doing it all..and you have thousands of terms etc..

Anyway its wonderful though in a few hours I have added back in over 200 terms with more to go..thanks for this clicks Install

04-03-2006, 02:24 AM

awesome!

I'm going to wait to install until this is updated and enhanced if it ever is.

I have been waiting for something like this since the move to 3.5.4.

There are so many terms I need to have entered it would be much better if users could also enter in the terms. That would be awesome.

If you could turn it into articles, reviews, etc., that would be even better.

Thanks for releasing this. :banana:

i wholeheartedly 2nd this and would install if this was possible. it would then be functional like UrbanDictionary (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=afk) where you can Add (http://add.urbandictionary.com/definition.php?word=afk) (moderated of course) your own definitions.

that would be extremely awesome. :banana:

RS_Jelle

04-03-2006, 08:59 AM

A little suggestion: the sort order of the terms when you view a letter should be alphabetically, now they are sorted by id :)

SS9267547

04-03-2006, 03:34 PM

Just a quick note, there will be a update released for this hack in the next week or two depending on how much time I have to work on this. In the update I will put in any thing that needs fixing, so do list the problems, as well add a few new features such as the mod addon as long as I can figure out how the update installs work with the plugin system lol.

GrendelKhan{TSU

04-03-2006, 08:16 PM

awesome!

I agree with the suggestions for some needed additoins (if you get a chance) :)

-alphabetical sort,
-user group permissions
-user added content

great job! I really hope you keep up development :D

gavinzac

04-03-2006, 10:06 PM

you know what would absolutely rock my socks? if there were some way to add this to the auto-link scripts; like if someone says Keyboard it automatically creates a link on the word to the glossary definition.

SS9267547

04-03-2006, 10:24 PM

gavinzac: Yes I was thinking of the feature when I started the glossary but I havn't created the feature yet since I'm not sure where to get started. Would have to make it some how global I think so it would link any word in post, reviews, whatever. Alot of work for right now so it might have to wait until the next release after this upcoming update. However The Geek created a autolinker called Geek Auto-Linker (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=96336) which has the idea of what is needed however I'd have to talk with him about it.

gavinzac

04-03-2006, 10:40 PM

maybe if you took a look at the way that script adds auto-link definitions to the database, and make it an optional setting that your script can also automatically add a link to that mod's own database fields?
it would be like me installing both of your mod's (glossary, and Geek's autolinker), then creating lots of glossary terms, then creating lots of auto-links to those glossary terms. Hours could be saved if this was handled automatically! I know it seems selfish but i'm sure it would be a great addition to your mod.
your mod is great anyway, i'll install it tommorrow and pray that someday the autolinks will be done automatically :)

ChErAbOo

04-03-2006, 11:55 PM

I think all the ideas for this put fourth are excellent hope to see many added to it in the future. I do hope though if a upgrade it keeps the terms we have now I have added over 500 already would hate to loose any on a update..but everything everyone has mentioned like certain usergroup or mod submit of terms, ABC order are all wonderful ideas

macgyver24: Hmm, never came accross this error and why is there an error from your styles? What are you doing when you get this error? What other hacks do you have installed?

Cybertims: Import file of what? Just terms that are ready to use or to import from something else?

V 1.1.1 >> Support for html code, smiles, bbcode and imgcode with admin options. (Complete)

Yes yes!!

Definitely need [imgcode] support! to add pics!

Just add that feature and nevermind about all the others in the V 1.1.1 list :) :bunny:

A little bug:

The search_text_only phrase isn't a standard vBulletin phrase, so the second search option ("Search Text Only" normally) is blank on my site (and on the sites of most of the other users of this mod). You should use a standard vBulletin phrase for this, or put a custom one in the product ;)

SS9267547

04-09-2006, 01:54 PM

Thanks RS_Jelle, I'll look into that for the next release.

English letters it's good, but what about german or cyrillik or others? :)
Hope you understand what i mean :).
Maybe need an example for adding own alphebet in glossary?

SS9267547

04-12-2006, 12:31 AM

D.Ilyin: Its not a bad idea, but I'm not sure how to go about to do this. Have you ever seen something like this done before? Perhaps have any example for me to see?

While awating for updates I changed glossary.php, around line 223, to

$displayterms = $vbulletin->db->query_read("
SELECT *
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "glossary AS glossary
WHERE glossarycategoryid='". $db->escape_string($c) ."' AND $condition AND glossaryvalid='1'
ORDER BY glossaryname
LIMIT " . ($limitlower - 1) . ", $perpage
");

So I can get an alpha order.

I also changed admin_glossary.php, line 86, to

//$glossaries=$db->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "glossary ORDER BY glossaryid LIMIT $startat, " . $vbulletin->GPC['perpage'] ."");

and added as line 87:

$glossaries=$db->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "glossary ORDER BY glossaryname LIMIT $startat, " . $vbulletin->GPC['perpage'] ."");

so I can get alpha oder in the Admin CP.

Again thanks!

Other request feature:
- Adding new field(s) for each category <-- is this possible?

Thank's again....

SS9267547

04-20-2006, 10:43 PM

Well your welcome guys! As for additional features, at this time I'm open to add a few more if it isn't to complex to add for me so please do ask as long as its more releated to the glossary function. :)

Deska: Boy if its not one thing is another eh? Search option not enough? Lol j/k. Well I'll take a look into the option of adding new feilds however I'm not sure what you mean by each category? Do you mean more for each glossary term? Not sure what you'd want to add to each category. Can you give me an example of what you would need it for?

dwbro1: Yes text linking is an idea I wanted to work on for version 1.1.2. Just a few things I need to think over, such as limiting the queries so it don't require to much server resources to display.

D.Ilyin: If you got a few ideas sure, post away, might be something useful to add. :)

Phlex: Well I don't know about a comment function, I think this would be good for an article system, which if there is a damn for I'll maybe do. However there is already few article programs out there already.

Deska

Thank's for quick respond SS9267547 :D
Btw, I'm not a boy anymore, lol

Yes I mean adding field(s) in Glossary Terms but we can set it per Glossary Category, so when add Glossary Terms in each Category can have different format.

Example: I have 2 Category, A & B.
When add terms in category A, I have these fields:
- Field A
- Field B
But when add terms in category B, I have these fields:
- Field A
- Field B
- Field C

I hope you know what I mean :)
Again, thank's for great hack...

SS9267547

04-21-2006, 12:17 AM

Thanks Deska for the example, now I understand. I'll see if I can add this feature. Not sure how to go about it but yeah we'll see if I can come up with something :cool:

Deska

04-21-2006, 06:48 AM

I found several bugs :)

GLOSSARY_CAT & GLOSSARY_RESULTS templates has this:

<if condition="$show[addfeedback]"><a href="feedback.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&u=$userinfo[userid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/reply.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reply]" border="0" /></a></if>

Any idea what's for? Since in package file feedback.php not available :)

Some phrases are missing, look in attachment below.
- Phrase On/Off not available.
- Phrase Delete option is not available.

This is definate HOTM material if a couple of basic missing phrase bugs are fixed and layout tweaks are made.!

Nice :cool:

Don't SHOOT !! , but I have an idea. :D

- Use this database of terms like google adsence.

When a term shows up in a post / thread / profile / portal page / any VB powered page add a link to the definition and/or a "alt title" mouse over of the definition.

Deska: Great! Thanks. After looking at the code for hours you start to miss things lol. The feedback.php is from a guestbook type script I've been working on so I must have crossed the codes somewhere lol. As for the missing phrases I must of missed. Will be updated in next version release. If you see any more please do post.

Oblivion Knight: HOTM? Maybe you never know if people like the hack. From the total installs it dosn't seem to many people need this hack. Anyway bugs are noted. Will be updated in next release. Thanks!

Zachariah / trackpads: The idea is currently being considered. Just havn't figured how to do this just yet but it might be ready for next release but it might not. Depends on the amount of bgs that need to be fixed and from the sounds of it I missed quite a few lol.

Oblivion Knight

04-21-2006, 03:15 PM

Depends on the amount of bgs that need to be fixed and from the sounds of it I missed quite a few lol.They're all small things though, nothing that causes any abnormal behaviour.. :)

---EDIT---
Looks like I may have spoken too soon, the search feature doesn't appear to be working?

It also states that the template glossary_searchresult is uncached, which doesn't even exist.! Did you forget to add it to the product? It would certainly explain things.. ;)

SS9267547

04-21-2006, 11:19 PM

Looks like its working for me, however I see that I have missed the template and your are correct that its missing from the product. This will be addressed in the next release. Thanks.

Oblivion Knight let me know if you find any other problems that need to be addressed.

04-21-2006, 11:45 PM

Found a small bug.

I was adding a term and wanted to add a picture wiht a link. The linebreak should happen automatically with BBCode, but they don't.

for example, the term Callus should look like this,
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2006/04/7.gif (http://www.orchidboard.com/community/gallery/data/506/Onc_protrubence.jpg)
(KAL-us)
A waxy or fleshy protuberance or growth, usually on the lip of an orchid.

but it doesn't. Everything is on one line, like in here (http://www.orchidboard.com/community/glossary.php?do=viewglossary&term=7)

SS9267547

04-21-2006, 11:47 PM

I try not to enable html as most of my users don't know it... but something interesting I noticed with HTML enabled. Could be another bug. Don't think that's the way it should be.

When I enter <br> tags in the right places, and save it looks good, but when I go to edit the term again, all the <br> tags are gone. Try editing a term again and saving it without any modifications.

dendrob: I took a look at this and it seems to be working as it should. I posted a few test posts in the forums threads to see how the display should look and it does not add any automatic linebreaks from what I can see. You can even try it here at vb.org and it does then same thing. The only way that it will put things on new lines is simply pressing the enter key (don't need to type in the <br> code since thats what it does when you press the enter key.) to go to a new line when your typing it out and thats how it works in both so I don't see that anything needs to be fixed.

dendrob

04-22-2006, 12:43 PM

hm... that's weird. For me when I enter a term, I can press enter 20 times and when I save it, it's all on one line

dendrob

04-22-2006, 12:48 PM

well..it seems that the line breaks work just fine when terms are added or modified from the CP, but when you just add them from the forum page, it doesn't recognize them

SS9267547

04-22-2006, 02:02 PM

Hmm still seems to work for me for both user side and admincp. Wonder if anyone else is having this issue?

Let me know what your settings are for BB Code, IMG Code, Smilies, and HTML.

dendrob

04-22-2006, 02:27 PM

all on at the moment

SS9267547

04-22-2006, 02:44 PM

Hmmm, well I'm not sure what the problem could be and until I get some more reports I will not know if its just your site or the software. Have to wait and see if anyone else reports the same error. What version of vb are you running?

Oblivion Knight

04-22-2006, 03:15 PM

Could be a WYSIWIG editor problem?

I haven't tried it, but it seems most likely.. ;)

SS9267547

04-22-2006, 03:37 PM

Oblivion Knight could you do a quick test for me? Just make a new glossary entry with linebreaks and with a image? Something like dendrob posted. Would like to know if anyone else has the same issue on the user side. Thanks!

Oblivion Knight

04-22-2006, 03:48 PM

I managed to reproduce it, seems to be a bug with the following text editor and the Glossary:
Basic Editor - A simple text box

Interesting.

SS9267547

04-22-2006, 03:51 PM

Thank you! Now I know where I can start looking for this, of course I'm not seeing the problem tho so it might take a while lol ;)

dendrob

04-22-2006, 08:21 PM

Great ! I thought I was going insane :) btw, I'm not using WYSIWYG, I use the standard editor

Also a useful feature would be to have a toggle switch in vbGlossary Settings in CP to show or not to show the "Last Updated:" line on all the glossary terms. In my case, I'll have all the terms fixed/validated by a single user, so it's not really necessary. I'm sure some other peeps would find that useful

SS9267547,

You have a very professional approach to your work. This is just a comment to say it is appreciated.

The way you organize and structure the update emails and basenote makes it so much easier vs other hacks to figure out what's going on!

ex: Having these sections is great!

You guys are welcome! Happy to hear that you are enjoying my work here :cool:

The way I do set it up with the information is for me to better review what needs to be done and that you guys can see a quick over view of all reported bugs, features, etc. without reading every single post here.

A (big) bug: the normal search function (in glossary.php) isn't working any more (it's always giving the "no results" page). The search function is the AdminCP and the ModCP is working good.

A suggestion: putting keywords in the title of the page for better seo (search engine optimization) :)
Now it's always "Your forum name - Glossary". It would be better to put also the name of a term in the title when you view a single term. For example: "Your forum name - Glossary [ MP3 ]".

And another one: a link to the glossary settings in the vBGlossary Basics navgroup in the AdminCP.

SS9267547

04-23-2006, 02:01 PM

The problem with the search is beucase there is a missing template that isn't installed with the product for the user side.

With the other ideas I'll look into that however not sure yet how to link to the settings in the navbar.

RS_Jelle

04-23-2006, 02:17 PM

With the other ideas I'll look into that however not sure yet how to link to the settings in the navbar.
I mean the vBGlossary Basics navgroup in the AdminCP, not the navbar :)
Just add the following to cpnav_vbglossary.xml :
<navoption>
<phrase>settings</phrase>
<link>options.php?do=options&dogroup=vbglossary</link>
</navoption>

SS9267547

04-23-2006, 02:25 PM

I meant I didn't know the link to it on the admin side heehe. Thanks for the information! Will add to next release. ;)

Streicher

04-24-2006, 04:44 PM

well..it seems that the line breaks work just fine when terms are added or modified from the CP, but when you just add them from the forum page, it doesn't recognize them

Same here and also e-mail notifications are not send

SS9267547

Streicher: With the e-mail notifications. Who is the emails set to send to? Also is the email option set to 'yes'? Any errors come up? Any additional information would be great. Thanks.

Streicher

04-25-2006, 02:26 PM

E-MailOption is set to Yes and the userids are comma separated. There are no errors shown and i don't get any mail after one of my moderators added a new term.

Deska: Well I wanted to get all the new features for the next version however I think I will limit the next release with just the crossing link feature and bug fixes so there are some updates to those bugs. I'd say sometime this week.

Streicher: Hmm I'll have to look into this then. Maybe try to just your userid and then add a term. See if it works or not.

Can't wait ! My glossary (http://www.orchidboard.com/community/glossary.php?do=listglossary&c=1) is up and running beautifully, crosslinking of the terms will be all I need.

SS9267547

04-26-2006, 12:21 PM

Well as long as I can get the crosslink feature to work since I've been having trouble thinking of a way to do so lol. :)

caliman

04-27-2006, 03:25 AM

I just installed ... here are my observations:

- 'Delete' phrase is missing from glossary tool pulldown.

- Usergroup permissions ... edit/delete would be nice for 'own' entries. So a member can't edit another member's entries. Or is this how it works?

- It would be really nice to have 'submitted by' under definition.

- It would be really nice to have last 10 submissions on glossary homepage.

- It would be nice if admin could choose to receive email notifications of new submissions regardless if validation is required or not.

Thanks for everything so far! Nice hack.

SS9267547

04-27-2006, 11:21 AM

caliman: With the delete/edit 'own' entries I don't think it is needed for this hack however if I'm wrong and others would like that option added then I might do so. Right now the way it is, is the way it works with the permissions. With the other oprions I'd have to think it over but I'm might add. However with the email notification I belive it should send regardless if you have vaildation on since its a different option. Would require additional testing to see if thats true for the user side.

caliman

04-27-2006, 01:05 PM

However with the email notification I belive it should send regardless if you have vaildation on since its a different option. That's what I am saying. ;)

msgotit

04-28-2006, 07:31 PM

When I tried to go to the glossary page for the first time I got an error, on line 157 of the file you had mysql_num_rows...

You should have $db->num_rows, or one of the variations of this, I noticed you have it right a lot of other places, so I figured it was just an oversight... and I am not positive why it gave me the error, but either way this is what should be there.

Nice mod, and good work with all the improvements!

Mark

EDIT: By the way what template is missing and do you have the code so I can add it...

ConKien

04-29-2006, 01:37 AM

Well I don't know about a comment function, I think this would be good for an article system, which if there is a damn for I'll maybe do. However there is already few article programs out there already.

Not exactly, there's none out there that really an article system IMHO, they only display/use vb title and teak it to make it look like an article. If you could make it optional for 2/3 colums, a category block, a newest article block, a most popular (view or rated) block, your article will beat them all.

SS9267547

04-29-2006, 03:25 AM

msgotit: Thanks for information. Fixed 'mysql_num_rows' and added to 1.1.2 release. As for the template you can live 2 more days without it before the next release. ;)

ConKien: Well the thing is this is a glossary hack not a article hack however once this glossary hack is complete I will be working on a review system so I mit do an article system too. We'll see what kind of mood I'm in and if really another article hack is needed here on vb.org or course since I'm making one for myself I guses there isn't any that I like here lol.

SS9267547

04-29-2006, 09:34 AM

Yes, the option is somewhat in the works lol. I might be able to have something working as long as I can figure it out.

SS9267547

SS9267547

05-03-2006, 04:05 AM

Havn't had to much free time to finish this small update but its done at last lol. As always before you upgrade please do note to backup your glossary database just in case the upgrade does not work. Like I said this is a small update but here is what it has.

The following is what you'll see:

10 new phrases.
1 new template edit.
1 new plugin.
3 new files.

Crosslinking repeated glossary terms to other glossary terms with glossary tooltip feature as well crosslinking within forum posts.
Fixed all missing phrases in last release.
Fixed missing template plus other template fixes.
Add settings options to navgroup in the AdminCP.
Add glossary term name to page title.
Fixed user delete options code.
Fixed mysql_num_rows code variation.

Known Bugs For Version 1.1.2:

PM messages will not send if pm quota for any admins is full and/or their PM system is off.
Line breaks go missing with the Basic Editor.

Enjoy! If there are problems or you have ideas for this hack please do post! To see the new features that have been added in action see the screenshots.

05-03-2006, 02:04 PM

OH!!!!! You're my absolute hero !

found 3 bugs/tweaks, some very minor.

1 If a term is followed by a comma or a period it won't get crosslinked.
2 Also, in the glossary would be nice not to crosslink to its own definition, Example (http://www.orchidboard.com/community/glossary.php?do=viewglossary&term=63)
3. Search spitting out html code, Example (http://www.orchidboard.com/community/glossary.php?s=&do=searchresults&search=bul&searchoptions=1)

overall, 5 thumbs up :)

SS9267547

05-04-2006, 02:09 AM

louis_chypher and Deska: Well I'm not sure what the problem is, it seems to be working so something with the code must not work with the new versions of php, something that I'm not sure how to fix at this time since my version is 4.3.8. If someone as any ideas let me know.

dendrob: What version of php are you running since I see the crosslinking is working for you? Seems like your enjoying it so far ;)

As for the bugs/tweaks they have been noted and might be updated next release. However the first one I don't think I will be able to do much with since the way it is setup it takes spacing in effect so if there is a comma, period, first word, etc. it will not link. This is done beucase without that it would link everything. For example if the term 'test' is the word that is to be crosslinked, 'testing' would as well but only the 'test' part of the word with 'ing' right after the link. Just doesn't work unless someone can figure a better way to do this.

dendrob

05-04-2006, 11:01 AM

Isn't there a way to just check for ,;.:!?

so if you have a definition for word "test" if the definition if followed by one of the punctuations you'd link it, but if it's not punctuation then let it go without crosslinking so "test," would be crosslinked but "tester" would not be?

also, would be nice to have the option to turn off the little "question mark" in the ACP, just leaving the word dash underlined. It would make it a bit more subtle... that's just me though :)

I absolutely love this mod! Thanks for making it.

Bug notification:

Not a huge issue but in the admincp Glossary Manager when you list the Glossary words and select a category the first page is fine, but when you hit "Next" or try to change pages on the bottom "page navigator" it resets back to all categories. The top page navigator works fine.

Also any idea why this mod is still being listed as Updated for me, I did download the new update. Never had this issue with other mods after downloading the update.

tbaleno

05-05-2006, 10:28 PM

It has to do with text that contains invalid characters like ' or / and stuff like that. I saw some references to preg_quote, but not being that great with php I have no clue how to impliment it.

But thats the problem on my end anyway. I hope this helps you come up with a fix.

SS9267547

05-05-2006, 11:11 PM

Thanks, yeah anything to help me figure out a fix is great lol. Still working on that bug still.

tbaleno

05-06-2006, 02:22 AM

Here is what I came up with.

replace:

$findotherterms[] = "/(\s+|^)".$foundterms['glossaryname']."(\s+|$)/";

with:

$tmptrms=str_replace("'","\\'",$foundterms['glossaryname']);
$tmptrms=str_replace("/","\\/",$tmptrms);
$findotherterms[] = "/(\s+|^)".$tmptrms."(\s+|$)/";

Should be around line 43 of includes/function_glossary.php

Its realy a horrible hack and may have other issues because only ' and / are replaced.

It may point someone in the right direction for a proper fix.

Ok Installed and tested.

I like it.
A lot :)

Of course, this being vB.org I have a Wishlist :)
- Case sensitive option. For example if you have AIR as the term, Air or air wont be linked.
- Browse feature for terms. I know from feedback that people are not always sure what they are looking for so search is no good for them. The ability for users to browse through terms is very usefull.
- Ability for a wild card serach. Example E** to list all items atarting with E.
- When you mouseover a term, the first 50 or so characters of the glossary are shown, rather than the default term.
- Dump the template edits.

05-10-2006, 01:05 PM

Hi, well...worked fine, now I'm getting this error

Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier 'O' in /includes/functions_glossary.php on line 49

Actually the problem started after one of the mods modified an entry in the gallery... There was linking in the post of the word "AD" so he went into the glossary and changed the definition to AD/AOS after that s@#$ hit the fan. I suspect that has something to do with the use of the slash or other punctuations...well..in this case a slash

he made changes through the mod panel... if that's any help

Well your welcome dendrob, happy to see some use from it. :)

Well right now you can browse them by just clicking a category then it lists all the terms plus you can look under 'a' to 'z'. So you might have to explain some more to me about that. The search option I don't know how to do yet so until I do it won't be added lol. With the mouseover, the early versions I had it working, text only, however there were to many bugs in that if your post had images, bbcode, smiles, etc, it would mess things up. Until I can figure out a way it will not be released. As for the template edits dump what? There really isn't much edits to be made just code required for some of the features to work.

05-11-2006, 12:16 AM

Making the "Install Complicated" lol. ;) Yeah pretty hard to install this one unlike say vb 3.0.0 where you need to make 50 file changes then another 50 template changes? Anyway I inculded the navbar template edit for those those who don't know vb so they know where they can add a link to there system and as for the other template edit it is a required change if you want to use the crosslink feature unless you have a better idea in doing this with out edits then please let me know. I did try to see if it was possiable doing it via plugin and what not but I didn't see anything. As well I did try to make it as easy as possiable however as soon as you add more feature things do tend to get complicated haha. :cool:

Just installed, working pretty good.

At first I thought the popup box was empty but now it appears that the text is just white and almost invisible in the box.

Also some terms are getting picked up in the cross-reference while others are not, even though I have them spelled the same and using the same case. This seems to happen when I have 2 or more terms next to eachother or following eachother line after line.

Also when a term is split onto 2 separate lines because of word wrap then the display is slightly messed up.

Feature suggestion :p
How about the ability to add multiple terms to one definition? So if you want to add ing, ed, upper/lowercase, etc, to the same word that you don't have to make new glossary entries for each.

Look for the "Tribulation" and see what I mean. I have this wierd space after each link that leads to something in the glossary.

See my glossary
http://hidingplace.com/vbb350/glossary.php?do=listglossary&c=1

This happens in the forums as well as in the glossary cross-linking.

Ideas?

Also, the popup when you pring your mouse over a word that has a link to the glossary is very cool. Is there a way to show the first xx amount of words of the glossary definition instead of "Click on the link" text that is there? Maybe with the word "more" after xx characters have been reached?

SS9267547

SS9267547

05-22-2006, 12:29 PM

Andyf the reason there is no alphabetical listings on home is beucase that is just a category list so you'd have to choose a category to view. As for the search section I also didn't see why its needed there since you are after all searching for a certain word already :)

Andyf

05-22-2006, 12:37 PM

Ok SS9267547 the peny has dropped at last and the light has gone on!!

No, I installed it per the directions. I think the problem is that my board uses white text on a black background and this hack applies that white text, but on that yellow background, so you can't see it very well.

Where could I change the text color for the popup box only? (but if you think the problem is something else then I'll try that too)

Ramsesx

05-22-2006, 02:04 PM

Thanks for this nice hack SS9267547. One thing I would like to see, if moving over the glossery term it should show the explanation of the glossery instead linking to the glossery.php. For example, if I have the glossery term "Starbucks Coffee" and in the descpription "Famous Coffee Shop www.coffee.com" this should be seen directly in the popup screen and allow to click to the link. Maybe it could be done in the options to enable this.
Thanks

SS9267547

05-22-2006, 02:44 PM

EasyTarget: If it is the text you can test it out by changing the background color of the tool tip by editing the 'glossary_crosslinking.js' file under 'tipbgcolor'. Right now it should be set to 'lightyellow'.

Ramsesx: I'm gusesing your taking about the crosslinking feature. If so at this time I can't show the description of the terms since there are too many errors at this time, mainly to do with smiles/html/images/bbcode which makes a mess of the code for the pop up. Thats why there is just a simple 'click here' at this time. Just havn't figured out how to display it yet, only been able to display plain text which has not been release for use.

Holidazed

05-22-2006, 02:44 PM

bitg: You forgot to upload the image file. What should be loaded in that space is a (?).
I have included 2 screen captures. One is from the glossary and the other is from my forums. They both display the same problem.

Right after any text that links to something in the glossary, there is an annoying blank space.

How do I get rid of it?

SS9267547

05-22-2006, 02:48 PM

05-22-2006, 02:58 PM

The space is there beucase your missing a image. Take a look at this screenshot.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=46870&d=1146632728

See that (?) image at the end? Thats what should be in that space. Now as for removing the image you'll be able to via admincp in the next release.
I see. I do not want to remove the image. I had put the image in a custom styles folder. My style points all "Misc" images to this folder. Obviously, your addon wants it in the "images/misc" folder. How do I change this to point to my styles/misc folder?

As for the glossary definition to show, I havn't been able to figure the problem out to have it show. At this time there are to many issues with it so thats why it just says 'click on the link' at this time.That is unfortunate. This would be an awesome feature.

On my other vbb messageboard, if I turn on Glossary Crosslinking, I get the following error when I try to display my glossary.

Warning: preg_replace() [function.preg-replace]: Unknown modifier 'F' in /includes/functions_glossary.php on line 49

What did I do wrong?

SS9267547

05-22-2006, 07:08 PM

With the image directory you can change it to whatever location you want by simply going to 'Additional CSS Definitions' and change the following:

background: url(images/misc/ext_term.gif) no-repeat 0;
To this for example.

background: url(newstyle/images/misc/ext_term.gif) no-repeat 0;
This code is repeated three times. As for the error you are getting is a bug in the script and certain version of php/servers. I've created new code to try for the next release which I hope will fix this issue.

Good job.
- Easy to install
- works fine

only one little bug in my opinion:
the crosslink-function only works if a space is befor AND after the glossary-term
at the end of a line or after a sign of a list it wil be ignored.

But I can live with that :cool:
Many Thanks

SS9267547

05-26-2006, 02:05 AM

artpapa: You sure can post requests and if I get some time and or think it will be useful I'll add them. :) As for copyright issues of terms, I'm sure you can use some terms as they are since there really can't be writen any other way and would be the same where ever you look them up, if that makes sense lol and then other terms you could always word them in your own words. This is something I havn't looked into much.

BeaLzeBuB: What are you going to try?

artpapa

05-26-2006, 05:04 AM

Okay here are some requests, of course they are not professional, but they get from my strong wish to make this script better.

Take out of “Glossary Tools” “Add New Glossary Term” and make it glossary global ( button on the search tab for example) with option to be visible on the forum menu bar (that’s will make your Glossary script much more friendly to knew users, and less clicks is always better).
Instead of “Glossary Tools” drop down menu make a couple small image buttons “edit” and “delete” and place them on the right bottom corner. This will fit better to general VB design conception. If you will find these ideas attractive I can provide some images for you.
Remove glossary.php main page (entering page with categories) and instead- from a navigation bar “Glossary” link make drop down menu with categories and maybe with optional “Add New” link
Make a “last update” optional and editable from admin menu.
Total amount of terms and numbers for each category will be good to have somewhere.
Open “Add New Glossary Term” right from any highlighted text in the browser with right mouse click.
. How about, in the crosslink drop down window instead of this useless phrase:” Click on the link for additional information about this term from our glossary“user will see actual explanation text limited with a certain # of words, of course, with “more”- link to the complete explanation
I should start with this: this script desperately need “upload image from your computer” function with all capital letters!

In this case you’ll need to split a glossary table on the two columns (because I hate when image attachment taking over whole row, it’s looks ugly doesn’t matter its left, center or right alignment).
If image not available you can display their some info like a last update, authors’ username, category… (just like user information- left column from the post on the forums but only instead of user avatar- illustration for the glossary item)

Appearance. Make glossary appearances optional at least in two styles: VBClassic (Linear Mode) like yours, and maybe “Glossary Mode” which will looks more light and transparency like a real book style.
Several different meanings for one term, it happens very often… so let’s add second and third opinions to the one term and make its looks official

I’m done for now but I still thinking

artpapa: Wow. Big list you got there but its good lol. To be honest, the development of the hack is almost at its end for me. There are only a few things that I need for it and after that I will be developing my next hack, just don't have so much time you know and everyone wants something different. Anyway lets answer that list.

1. I'm not to sure what you mean. If your saying to have a link on the navbar there is already one.

2. Well the way it is now is the way I want it. The original idea was to have somewhat the same feel the vb's FAQ section.

3. I don't really like that idea so I will not be adding that.

4. This is already done for next release.

5. Might add this if I get around with it.

6. Not sure what you mean.

7. I've been already asked 100 times for this. It says 'click here' at this time beucase there are a few bugs with having the text display. For example if they have images, smiles, etc. Just dosn't work. Plain text does. Anyway its on the works and when I have a working version of this it will be released.

8. I've tought about it however its way to much work for me to add this at this time, so for now I'll have to say no. You'll just have to use a gallery hack and simply link the image into your glossary.

9. Maybe for a future release if I get the time but really if you can just edit the templates to whatever you need them to look.

10. This is something I've been thinking about so it might get done or at least with the custom fields options you can when its done, well if I can get to it haha.

With your "?" you'll be able to remove that in the next release as a new option.

BeaLzeBuB: Yeah that should work. You could try using GAL if you wanted for that as well.

artpapa: In the meantime you can remove the '?' image via your main css options where you added the glossary code to at the very bottom, delete the image that is used. For more information to what I mean look in the install readme.

dendrob: I can't really say, I've been try to get this released but I havn't had much free time in the past week and a half. Anyway before I release the new version I need to first finish the install text and then it'd be done for this version. So lets cross our fingers and hope I finish this week! lol

I have what is probably a stupid question, but I can't figure it out. I assume my answer is in the "extra css" that got added, but I don't see a font color to change. My problem is that the hover text is white on a very light yellow background and so it is unreadable. Which variable do I need to change to get the font color black or some dark color so that it can be read. Otherwise, this is an awsome hack that my users will love.

First of all, I would like to thank you for this outstandingly wonderful product! I appreciate the great coding and hard work you have put into it!

I have a few bugs to consider on your next release, as I think fixes for them will really enhannce the performance.

1) On the "Add Glossary Term" Screen (the one using the WYSIWYG editor, not the one in the AdminCP), it would be nice to have options to place the term online and specify the category.

2) On the search results, crosslinked items do not parse the links, but show them like: "<a href=etc". This makes the search results bulky and such. It would be great to see the links show up.

Thanks again for your hard work!

Hola,

Awesome program. I have converted over from cinq's glossary because of lack of support. There are a few things I noticed that seem to not crosslink properly...

1. Punctuation, if the term has a period at the end it will not link.
2. Paranthesis.... example... Ca(OH)2 ... will not cross link.

Ohh, it would be really cool if it would give the glossary definiton when a user mouses over the word... I was doing this with cinq's version.

Anyways, like I said... great program, keep the awesome work up and thanks!!

a small deterrent for me : i cant find how the members can add their own glossary items, simply cant! can anyone guide me where is this option in the CP?

i dont want to appear overly enthusiastic about my question posted a couple of days agao, but can anyone please answer it as stated in the quote?

Once you set the permissions for what users can upload,edit,delete glossary items in the usergroup permissions in the admincp, they can add their own from the glossary section thats in the navigation bar. You'll see a spot on the side called "Glossary tools", from there they click "Add new glossary term" and whammy, done deal.

Hope that helps. :)

Hi,

if someone is interested to combine this with TYPO3, please let me know. I`m currently creating a community site with TYPO3 and vBulletin and already use the a21glossary.

ciao,

What is causing this error? Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier 'R' in /includes/functions_glossary.php on line 49
I went to line 49 and added // but that just turns off the glossary......seem's to have something to do with the crosslinking, which i am not using.

Just a bumpin to see if someone can figure out how to get the alphabetic bar to show........

I tried to look at it on your site to see what it looks like, but I can't find your glossary link?

If it's set up like it is on my site, you need to click on the "Basic Terms" in order to open up the section that has the alphabet part.

But, I could be wrong?

Been a while since I've been able to get any work done so sry about that. The good news is that I hope in the next few days to get going again with the project. The bad news is I forgot where I left off with a few of the bugs so some bugs might be re-released again, which I hope I've fixed. If not report and it will be. In the meantime I'll answer a few of the questions.

dendrob: To answer a few of your questions. Yes this will be offical released for 3.6 after I get my act together to release this bloody update and to answer when, lets say this week? lol

UltraVR: What do you mean when you say "it would be nice to have options to place the term online and specify the category." I think you can right now? I mean you choose the category from the drop down list and then if your settings are set to post it online it will. Do you mean something else on the matter? With the other issue with the search it has been addressed, well it will once I get to releasing the update ;)

Bass Nutz: Still having those admin problems in post #223?

sinucello: a21glossary a glossary script for TYPO3?

hotwheels: The preg_replace error has to do with the crossing linking option and if you get the error you will need to disable to option at this time. As for the alphabetical list it only shows once you choose a category like Bass Nutz said.

skokarl: Sry but I don't have much time to take a look at what the issue might be. Nevertheless to figure out what the error might be I will need you to post what the error said.

Great hack!!!

I did some modifying to the phases and changed the names of the php files and all references to them in the files themselves for SEO purposes and so it matches what I'm using it for. Except of course your little blurb :)

Anyway the only problem is the I can't add categories or anything else now. The menu works in admin. I can fillout the new category page but when I submit I get a 404 error. Is there any phrases controlling this part of the submission? Any idea what I could have missed or where I should look?

Just to recap: Everything works except adding/edit categories and new glossary terms( I'm calling them facts ) I can see all pages from admin except when submitting any of the forms.

Thanks Jaks

Update: I figured out the problem. I changed the references to mod_glossary.php in the product file by accident when I editted the files. It's working fine now :D

nevermind.............the () was the issue there........

what did you do to line 49 of the file? i'd really like to be able to use the cross linking function.

this is my error
Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier 'I' in /includes/functions_glossary.php on line 49

Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier '(' in /includes/functions_glossary.php on line 49

thanks!

Ok I'm a little confused here. What is the latest version because after reading 98% of all these post, I'm missing some functions. The 1.1.1.3 version I was thinking was 1.1.3 but the install file says 1.1.1 so I'm guessing the latest is 1.1.2.3? I see so many numbers. 1.1.13, 1.1.3, 1.1.1, 1.1.2.3.

Sorry for being stupid.:knockedout: Still a great hack...:cool:

Edit: np, got it all figured out now lol. 1.1.2.3 is the latest. Working great except for the known bugs. :)

Okay it’s been a while since I last updated this hack. Now please do note while this is an update to the latest version I have lost track as to where things got left of when I was working on this. So I'm release the update as is since I want to figure out what is working. What does this mean? Well bugs and maybe missing parts that I said were done but were missed. In any case post the problems here and it will be redone for the next release. Also note that I have changed the title for my hack from vBGlossary Basics to Mindestic GlosPro, why? Buecase I left like doing something new lol.

The following is what you'll see:

16 new phrases.
1 new template edit.
2 new plugin.
Enable/Disable 'Last Updated' information from glossary.
Enable/Disable 'Submitted By' information from glossary.
Enable/Disable crosslink image from glossary.
Fixed search display code for crosslinking.
Limiting the number of replacements for each term for crosslinking.
Fixed punctuation for crosslinking so it will link after " ,;.:! ".
Fixed crosslink php version proplem, not 100% tested.
Added no shouting title feature on user side submited glossary terms.
Fixed moderate glossary count/page navigation.
Fixed crosslinking option so vaild active terms are only used.
Navbar options for auto placement.
Manual for Mindestic GlosPro.
vBGlossary Basics named to Mindestic GlosPro.

Known Bugs For Version 1.1.3:

PM messages will not send if pm quota for any admins is full and/or their PM system is off.
Line breaks go missing with the Basic Editor. Thought it was fixed but it doesn't look like it helped in tests.
