Ok Installed and tested.

I like it.
A lot

Of course, this being vB.org I have a Wishlist
- Case sensitive option. For example if you have AIR as the term, Air or air wont be linked.
- Browse feature for terms. I know from feedback that people are not always sure what they are looking for so search is no good for them. The ability for users to browse through terms is very usefull.
- Ability for a wild card serach. Example E** to list all items atarting with E.
- When you mouseover a term, the first 50 or so characters of the glossary are shown, rather than the default term.
- Dump the template edits.

Hi, well...worked fine, now I'm getting this error

Warning: preg_replace(): Unknown modifier 'O' in /includes/functions_glossary.php on line 49

Actually the problem started after one of the mods modified an entry in the gallery... There was linking in the post of the word "AD" so he went into the glossary and changed the definition to AD/AOS after that s@#$ hit the fan. I suspect that has something to do with the use of the slash or other punctuations...well..in this case a slash

he made changes through the mod panel... if that's any help

So you and louis_chypher are running the same php version yet he's dosn't work and yours does. I'm confussed.

As for the checking of punctuation, I'm sure there is a way however I'm not sure how to go about doing this but as soon as I figure it out or someone tells me I'll add it in. As for the question mark, I was going to add that to the options in the last release but forgot to, will add it in the next release.

I second this

Billspaintball: Case sencitive has been added in for 1.1.3. for the user side anyways. Browse feature? Well right now you can browse them by just clicking a category then it lists all the terms plus you can look under 'a' to 'z'. So you might have to explain some more to me about that. The search option I don't know how to do yet so until I do it won't be added lol. With the mouseover, the early versions I had it working, text only, however there were to many bugs in that if your post had images, bbcode, smiles, etc, it would mess things up. Until I can figure out a way it will not be released. As for the template edits dump what? There really isn't much edits to be made just code required for some of the features to work.

dendrob: I will have to see maybe for the release after the one coming up.

Great

Hmmm I must have missed something. I will have another look as that pretty much covers what I was after there.

Fair enougth.

Yeah only 2, but it makes the install more complicated than it need be.

[SS9267547]

Making the "Install Complicated" lol. Yeah pretty hard to install this one unlike say vb 3.0.0 where you need to make 50 file changes then another 50 template changes? Anyway I inculded the navbar template edit for those those who don't know vb so they know where they can add a link to there system and as for the other template edit it is a required change if you want to use the crosslink feature unless you have a better idea in doing this with out edits then please let me know. I did try to see if it was possiable doing it via plugin and what not but I didn't see anything. As well I did try to make it as easy as possiable however as soon as you add more feature things do tend to get complicated haha.

More complicated than it has to be

Dont get me wrong, your instructions are well done and easy to follow.

unless you have a better idea in doing this with out edits then please let me know. I did try to see if it was possiable doing it via plugin and what not but I didn't see anything.

No problems.
I modded your product XML a little to do this.
Im at work at present, but I can send it to you tonight.

Or if your in a rush, just look at how I did it in my paypal donate hack. - Look at the plugins.

[SS9267547]

Sweet! Yeah if you don't mind sending it to me later that would be great, I would like to learn how its done and then I'll make the needed changes.

[EasyTarget]

Just installed, working pretty good.

At first I thought the popup box was empty but now it appears that the text is just white and almost invisible in the box.

Also some terms are getting picked up in the cross-reference while others are not, even though I have them spelled the same and using the same case. This seems to happen when I have 2 or more terms next to eachother or following eachother line after line.

Also when a term is split onto 2 separate lines because of word wrap then the display is slightly messed up.

Feature suggestion
How about the ability to add multiple terms to one definition? So if you want to add ing, ed, upper/lowercase, etc, to the same word that you don't have to make new glossary entries for each.

[tbaleno]

I'm having problems with search. When a term is found using search it shows the html code.
