DC Glossary Plans

[Dean C]

Hey,

Well after a few PMs with people wanting to me continue development of this I thought i'd open it up for discussion. The reason I closed the thread was because of a few bugs. I didn't realise vBulletin was built so poorly everywhere in that it relies on phrases. I didn't have the time when making the mod to worry about the hassle of phrases but I guess it's inevitable I'll have to use them on the next release.

For those who don't know what DC Glossary is it's a dictionary for your vBulletin forums. You can add/define terms via your admincp. You can allow members to add terms and choose to moderate them. You can search by name and meaning. You can import/export dictionaries to share with others. There is a main glossary listing set out like the memberlist so that you can organize the terms by their starting character.

What other features would you like to see?

i love the hack, and i did install it on my board but it didn't work prob. due to the bugs but anyways...

i know there is hack here that gives you a spell checker on your forum.. could you in any way connect your Glossary as the spell checker?

[Dean C]

Nope that'd not be possible. It'd take a long long time

I would really like:

* Ability to add custom fields.
-- ie: Term / customfield1 / customfield2 / deffinition

* Ability to define which custom fields can be catagories
-- ie: customfield 1 -> term / custom field 2 / deffinition or
-- customfield 2 -> term / custom field 3 / customfield 4 / deffinition.

Hate to do the bump but I was kind of curious about the status since this will be a large part of my new site

[Osterling]

I am curious too

Well, my suggestions would be add an image next to the description if needed and have the description of the word on a separate page

I've been having health problems lately, so give me a little time to rethink the structure of the modification, the main thing will be phrasing it all. I'm so sick and tired of phrases, I find them such a hinderence.

[Osterling]

I hoep you feel better, health is more important then this hack..

[Reeve of shinra]

Same here, hope you feel better Dean.
