Random Glossary Term [vBa CMPS module]

This vBadvanced CMPS module displays a random term of Mindestic GlosPro.

I tested it on vBulletin 3.5.4 with vBadvanced CMPS 2.1.0 and vBGlossary Basics 1.1.0.

It adds one query to a vBa page and it's fully phrased and 100% W3C XHTML 1.0 compliant.



================================================== ========================
Installation
================================================== ========================

• Upload all files from the "upload" directory into your forum directory.
• Create a new template called "adv_portal_glossary_random_term" with the following content:
  
  

  <tr>
  	<td class="alt1">
  		<div align="center">
  			<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/glossary.php?$session[sessionurl]do=viewglossary&amp;term=$glossary_module_term_id"><img src="$vboptions[bburl]/images/question-mark.gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[glossary]" title="$glossary_module_term_name" /></a>
  			<br /><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/glossary.php?$session[sessionurl]do=viewglossary&amp;term=$glossary_module_term_id"><strong>$glossary_module_term_name</strong></a>
  		</div>
  	</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
  	<td class="alt2">
  		<div align="center">
  			<span class="smallfont"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/glossary.php?$session[sessionurl]">[$vbphrase[glossary]]</a></span>
  		</div>
  	</td>
  </tr>

Modified Module to include description:

PHP Code:

<?php

if (($permissions['glossarypermissions'] & $vbulletin->bf_ugp_glossarypermissions['canviewglossary']) AND $vbulletin->options['vbglossaryactive'])
{
    $glossary_module_content = '';

    $glossary_content_query = $db->query_read("SELECT glossaryid, glossaryname, glossarydescription
                        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "glossary
                        WHERE glossaryvalid = 1
                        ORDER BY RAND()
                        LIMIT 1
    ");

    $glossary_content_fetcharray = $db->fetch_array($glossary_content_query);

    $glossary_module_term_id = $glossary_content_fetcharray['glossaryid'];
    $glossary_module_term_name = $glossary_content_fetcharray['glossaryname'];
$glossary_module_description = strip_bbcode($glossary_content_fetcharray['glossarydescription'], false, false, false);  
$glossary_module_description = substr($glossary_module_description,0,150);


    $db->free_result($glossary_content_query);
}

eval('$home[$mods[\'modid\']][\'content\'] .= "' . fetch_template('adv_portal_glossary_random_term') . '";');

?>

Add this where you want it to show in your adv_portal_glossary_random_term template:

PHP Code:

$glossary_module_description

Works fine with vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1, vBadvanced CMPS 3.0 RC1 and Mindestic GlosPro 1.2.2

vb 3.6.8 with mindestic gloss.

Maybe a little help.

I managed to get it working on cmps but the.... ? image goes to a blank page /glossary.php?do=viewglossary&term=

though the [glossary] link does go to the correct page, the question mark goes to a blank page. Do I have something that needs changing in the code.

I had to turn it off for now.
