I don't understand the installation. A xml product is not necessary? I have gone up the files php to the host but it doesn't show anything in the admincp, I have the version vb3.6.2.

Please, can it show the step-by-step of the installation? Thank you

Yes you have to install the plugin which is located in the /includes/xml/
folder of the ZIP

[freevisio]

Ah ok, perfect, didn't know that it was in that directory. Thank you.

Now it works well but I don't get that the terms are marked in threads. I have written a new word and their description, I have added that word in a post but it is not marked. Is it necessary to make something?

And, where is that? https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...9&d=1164656719

[freevisio]

ook... I see..

The file adminfunctions_glossaryoptions.php in the zip this in includes, not in admincp.

[StarBuG]

Hmmm

Now the crosslinking works on my forum.
At least in one thread I wrote.

Strange

Maybe it had something to do that the thread that should have crosslinks in it was in my moderator forum.
Maybe there is a problem with permissions or such?

But like someone before said, the crosslinking would be perfekt if it would show

Term
Description

in the mouse over field and if clicked link to the glossary entry
That would be much more usefull then just a hint to klick to get to the description, that is a waist of space.
I would also remove the "Glossary Term:" from the mouse over field, only show the term itself

To make it more professional, an option in the glossary settings would be cool, that defines, how many characters of the description are shown in the mouse over field. If the description length exceeds the max. allowed characters something like:
... [Click here to read all]
could be added.

Ah and I can't see the glossary options in the moderatorCP, did you forget to include it?

Idea for optimised handling of moderated Terms:
In the adminCP when you click on Moderate Glossary, it would be good to have:
a) the description of the terms below the term so you can see all terms directly without clicking on edit
b) a checkbox next to every term so you can mass allow new terms.
Same for ModCP (which is not existent at the moment )

Another cool thing that makes the work of an admin/mod easier would be, to have an approve button in the glossary tools

And what about dublicate entries?
Currently I think it is possible to have the same term more then once with different descriptions, or how are dublicate entries handled?


I LOVE your hack

ps: It may be that not all menu terms I use are correct, because I translated the glossary into german already

[dilbert]

Wow, I am loving this crosslinking stuff.

Two comments:

1. How can I edit the pop-up for the term? I'd like a break after the term is displayed. As it is now, there isn't a space between the glossary word and "Click on the link...".


2. I see one small bug. There needs to be a space after the term, or it won't detect it as a crosslink term. i.e. if these colors are all terms, only the first two show up: red orange green. If you put a space after green, vB will strip it, you need a real space after it. I even tried a period at the end, no deal unless there is a space.

As always, thank you for your work.

[freevisio]

I cannot activate crosslinks, the glossary work but the links are not shown in the forum and I have it activated in the setting. :cross-eyed:

[q8-star]

I'm running an Arabic forum which has a RTL text direction. When displaying terms in post using the crosslink it doesn't show correctly (picture attached).

taxick: Basicly this hack will create a new section on your fourms where you can have a database of glossary terms about anything you like, be it computer terms, internet terms, gaming, etc. It also has a feture that always to crosslink from the glossary to within your forums posts.

ssvp: As long as you havn't missed a step in the install it should work. However in the settings you have to first active it, two options at the very bottom where you can have it on in the glossary only or the forums as well. The alphabet sort will only show once you choose a directory. Try the typing in the following: http://www.yoursiteaddress.com/dirto...stglossary&c=1

freevisio: There should be a manuel about install under the 'do_not_upload' dir. Follow the steps in 'First time install'. The xml product is in the xml folder which you can upload from your computer instead of the server. As for it to show in the thread posts you need to set it in the glossary settings by setting the 'Forum Post Glossary Crosslinking' to 'Yes'. Also make sure you have installed very thing step by step. I will have to look in the manuel to see if it all right but I should be lol..

StarBuG: I have been noticing that it didn't but then once the page was refreshed it worked on a nother vb members forum. Not I said before its not a 100% feature, got to take it as it is. But it seems to be as long as then install is done correctly seems to work fine. As for having the term with description to show on mouseover is something I'm working on, just can't get it to work correctly. Problem is html and other bbcode mess up the link. The 'click here' text is just temp filler lol. The glossary setting I don't think I meant to show to mods. With the moderate idea, thought of it but never got around to adding the feature. Oh and dublicate entries have not been tested, has also been missed and will have to be worked on. Thanks for that reminder will have to add those last two to my task list. Oh with the greman translation I have given permission to captainslater to create one for all the phrases. Also happy to hear you like the hack.

dilbert: Happy to here you are enjoying the hack! At this time any edits to the popup are done in the functions_glossary.php file. The spacing a little bug to deal with but the main thing is to get the description to load instead. Will have to figure something out one day unless, having problems tho lol. With the crosslink, at this time you need to either have a space or any of the following charcaters .,;:!? at the end to load the crosslinking. I havn't been able to make the crosslinking work without a space yet and I don't know if I ever will lol.

q8-star: Ah not sure why its doing that. Looks like your forum is all on the right side instead of the left, did you try testing it the normal way the posts are done?

[q8-star]

you're right, my forum is all right direction.
When I tested it in the left direction it worked fine, but this is no use for me.
I hope if there is some sort of fix or option to solve this issue with right direction.
