I just want to backup the others that recommended a user submitted option for this. I'd love this for an acronyms page since Cing fell off the planet. :)

dendrob: I'd say early next week the latest but if I get time I will release the update this weekend.

Please add search function in admincp, so we can search terms, to make sure not double posts.

You will rock my world my man !!!

Yes :D

Great hack, good job ;)


File Attach, French language ;)

Thanks Allan for the French translations. :)

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!

Well there you have it. I hope you all enjoy. If there are problems or any ideas for this hack please do post! Enjoy

Oh also enjoy the following new screenshot from version 1.1.1.

And heres the rest of the screenshot from version 1.1.1 update. :)

Great update! Again Thanks for your hard work.

great hack !
a comment function that can increase the postcount would be nice ,so
you can use it as a kind of article system

One of the best here on "org"! Thanks for this great stuff!

Wonderful and very Userful update!! I will let you know when members start entering terms if all works ok but so far it looks like this update is going to be very nice!!

SS9267547 GREATE!!!!!!!!!!!
A lot of thank's. Hope it will be THE HACK OF THE MAY

PS Do you need any more ideas and futures? ;)

Lucas, thank you! It's the bomb !

I agree would like to see it come up on hack of the month most useful tool I have gotten in awhile very nice and can be used for multi things anything really can be added in nice :)

Now that is a GREAT idea. Kind of like done by IntelliTXT In-Text Advertising
but pointing to your glossary.

Great job SS9267547 :D

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

Thank's again....

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.

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...

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:

I found several bugs :)

• GLOSSARY_CAT & GLOSSARY_RESULTS templates has this:
  
  Code:

  ---

  <if condition="$show[addfeedback]"><a href="feedback.php?$session[sessionurl]do=newreply&amp;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.!

Installed.


[high]--- EDIT ---[/high]
2 missing phrases:

GLOBAL (global)
glossary_delete

Control Panel Global (cpglobal)
glossary_total_entries

There may be more, but I haven't noticed them yet..

I hear ya


@ SS9267547
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.

Mega Dittos :)

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.

They're all small things though, nothing that causes any abnormal behaviour.. :)


[high]---EDIT---[/high]
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.. ;)

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.

This idea like GAL (Geek Auto Link) from ThevBGeek.com :D

Anyway I will vote for HOTM if in the list :)

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,
but it doesn't. Everything is on one line, like in here

Just a note for you all I will release another update later this weekend with the fixes to all the problems so if you see anything please do post! Most likly the update will not have any new features but we'll see what I have time for ;)

Do you have HTML enabled for your Glossary?

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.

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

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

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.

all on at the moment

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?
