Sounds like a plan

Yep. You can use FireFly's hack (which is in beta, mind you): Add Who's Online locations from Admin CP. Once that's installed, just enter "/glossary.php" in the one field, and something like this in the other:

thanks!

THANK YOU - THANK YOU - THANK YOU!!!

We needed this on our site for the terms used in the Home Theater field.

Now...Need that interface so others can add to it (or select users can). Please. :) Even if just the MODS could enter them would be a big help.

Oh, did I say thanks?

Hmm...I think you can merely upload the admin_glossary.php file to your /mod/ directory and apply the same code changes to THAT index.php file as you did to the ones in your /admin/ directory. That ought to work...should allow Mods to add/edit/delete terms the same as Admins, then.

BTW: no need to thank me...I am genuinely honored that a forum the size and significance would find use for this. :)

>>BONK<< Never thought of that. Will just modify that mod index to something else and then be able to give it to a few people I would think in a secure directory.

I do think you're right on some public submission thing, though...but I'd have to add some field for approval and as such provide a simple import script for those who've already installed vBGlossary. I assume you picture it as a link leading to a simple form, allowing the user to enter both a term and description, for which you can approve via the CP?

BINGO - Right on!

More or less when they go into the Glossary their would be an option to "Add a Term".

They click this and it they then are give the boxes to add the term and the description.

At that point when submitted, it will tell them thank you and that it was added for consideration and will be apear once appoved.

Data collected is the Term, Description, and the User who submitted it.

The admin can then APPROVE OR DELETE the entry.


The way I see it is two fields would be needed. One is a flag...for use (1) or not use (0). The other would be for the user name who submittied it. All the words that can be shown would have a flag field of 1 and thus already approved (the code only shows terms with a 1). The others with 0 have yet to be approved can then be looked at via the admin.

Click a link in the admin panel for "Aprovels" and the admin is shown a screen with the term, description, and user who submitted it with a check box. The admin then just need to check a box for APPROVE or DELETE. (default being approve.) (User ID not really needed, but though it would be a nice touch to see who it came from.) Terms approved are set to a flag of 1 and the other are either stored or deleated.

Hope this sums it up. :)


On our site you can see how this can get large...so a search would also be nice. :)

THANKS again!
