Yes, that looks right. Did you give your first/second alt colors the SAME value, though?

Haha, yep they are they same and I do not what to change any about that, so what can I do to solve this in your code or do you know a trick that I can put a line between each and every entry.

Well, I'd recommend changing one of your post alt colors -- it's better that way anyway. If you really don't want to do that, then you'll want to open glossary.php and replace {firstaltcolor} and {secondaltcolor} with the RGB values of the colors you want...like #FFFFFF for white and #E9E9E9 for light gray.

Cool, I got it !

Again many thanks.

That is what your glossarybit should look like.

Have you altered anything in the original file?

Don't worry, Lucky: he says he's got it now. :) Thanks anyway, though.

i got this error

Warning: extract() expects first argument to be an array in squawell/forums/vbb220/newthread.php on line 441

what's wrong??

I think that means you don't have any glossary terms entered. It expects at least one. If anyone's interested, I can make a small modification to error-check the sucka'. :)

ok~~now it just like u say!!

i don't add any item so i got that error!!

now it works:D:D:D

if u did a error-check template that will be great!!

Ok, simple:

in newthread.php AND newreply.php. replace this...

...with this...

thankz~~:D:D

but i have another problem~

i can't delete and edit the item ~ ~

what's wrong??

Uh, I have no idea. It ought to work :) What happens when you try?

when i create one item and i want to edit or delete

and nothing happen and can't work

i think maybe this is file's problem~~

can u give me the last admin_glossary.php file!!

Here's the one I've got.

i try that file and still can't work

see the attach pic i add a item call "karma"and when i edit it

and it always show that and nothing happen??

any idea??

Did you use HTML and all kinds of funky characters inside the term field?

no~i didn't use html ect.

i think it should can add chinese word isn't it?

because i see it action in a chinese forum!!

so i think that not the problem!!

Can you send me the HTML of that page via email or PM? I can take a look at it for you.

i already pm to u and thankz for ur help again!! :up:

Well what is supposed to happen when you click the term in newreply or newthread ?

As I mentioned earlier (:)), it brings up a JavaScript alert box containing the term's description/definition.

There is a bug when the description is over a certain length - I haven't read this whole thread, but you know about that?

Great hack otherwise! Thanks :D

What length? The length would have to be completely MASSIVE...because the TEXT field can hold pages and pages of data.

Nope - the popup alert script can't handle large amounts of text :)

A few of my users complained that IE kept kicking in a debug script, so I decided to keep my word explanations short and sweet.

The glossary itself can :)

That's odd. I don't see why the JS alert would have any problems. How long until it kicks out?

No idea :)

About that many lines of full text screwed it :)

I don't know of anything that takes that much space to describe ;)

I just hope he gets what I mean ;)

I am not sure but I think there is a limit to the amout of text that can be added, although I am not sure exactly. Just curious Tim, what word do you have that has that large of a definition (or remotley that size)?

I just had a question, is there any way to make this location show up in the "who's online" area as "Viewing Glossary"

That would be fantastic if someone could find a way!

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!

Where is the text file for this?

Ok let's just ignore Rad on that one...He just realized that it's attached to the first post...Whatta moron I am...hahaha :)
