Okay here are some requests, of course they are not professional, but they get from my strong wish to make this script better.
Take out of “Glossary Tools” “Add New Glossary Term” and make it glossary global ( button on the search tab for example) with option to be visible on the forum menu bar (that’s will make your Glossary script much more friendly to knew users, and less clicks is always better).
Instead of “Glossary Tools” drop down menu make a couple small image buttons “edit” and “delete” and place them on the right bottom corner. This will fit better to general VB design conception. If you will find these ideas attractive I can provide some images for you.
Remove glossary.php main page (entering page with categories) and instead- from a navigation bar “Glossary” link make drop down menu with categories and maybe with optional “Add New” link
Make a “last update” optional and editable from admin menu.
Total amount of terms and numbers for each category will be good to have somewhere.
Open “Add New Glossary Term” right from any highlighted text in the browser with right mouse click.
. How about, in the crosslink drop down window instead of this useless phrase:” Click on the link for additional information about this term from our glossary“user will see actual explanation text limited with a certain # of words, of course, with “more”- link to the complete explanation
I should start with this: this script desperately need “upload image from your computer” function with all capital letters!
In this case you’ll need to split a glossary table on the two columns (because I hate when image attachment taking over whole row, it’s looks ugly doesn’t matter its left, center or right alignment).
If image not available you can display their some info like a last update, authors’ username, category… (just like user information- left column from the post on the forums but only instead of user avatar- illustration for the glossary item)
Appearance. Make glossary appearances optional at least in two styles: VBClassic (Linear Mode) like yours, and maybe “Glossary Mode” which will looks more light and transparency like a real book style.
Several different meanings for one term, it happens very often… so let’s add second and third opinions to the one term and make its looks official
artpapa: You sure can post requests and if I get some time and or think it will be useful I'll add them. As for copyright issues of terms, I'm sure you can use some terms as they are since there really can't be writen any other way and would be the same where ever you look them up, if that makes sense lol and then other terms you could always word them in your own words. This is something I havn't looked into much.
BeaLzeBuB: What are you going to try?
i'll use this hack except for its goal.. i need only crosslinks
i will try to use crosslinks to linking $thread[title], if it is possible
artpapa: Wow. Big list you got there but its good lol. To be honest, the development of the hack is almost at its end for me. There are only a few things that I need for it and after that I will be developing my next hack, just don't have so much time you know and everyone wants something different. Anyway lets answer that list.
1. I'm not to sure what you mean. If your saying to have a link on the navbar there is already one.
2. Well the way it is now is the way I want it. The original idea was to have somewhat the same feel the vb's FAQ section.
3. I don't really like that idea so I will not be adding that.
4. This is already done for next release.
5. Might add this if I get around with it.
6. Not sure what you mean.
7. I've been already asked 100 times for this. It says 'click here' at this time beucase there are a few bugs with having the text display. For example if they have images, smiles, etc. Just dosn't work. Plain text does. Anyway its on the works and when I have a working version of this it will be released.
8. I've tought about it however its way to much work for me to add this at this time, so for now I'll have to say no. You'll just have to use a gallery hack and simply link the image into your glossary.
9. Maybe for a future release if I get the time but really if you can just edit the templates to whatever you need them to look.
10. This is something I've been thinking about so it might get done or at least with the custom fields options you can when its done, well if I can get to it haha.
With your "?" you'll be able to remove that in the next release as a new option.
BeaLzeBuB: Yeah that should work. You could try using GAL if you wanted for that as well.

You see, #7 may connected with an #8 because you can have separate from image text and you can disabled smiles...
but anyway script is great and thank you very much.
but I will keep thinking :sleep:
