[Projet] Glossary

Hi Aour,

Dragon show me a glossary of 1145 words. I don’t know; but a document tree with more than 1200 item will be too heavy, no?

ACK Well, I´m new to modX and still discover its power and flexibility, therefore I thought the document structure would be okay so far. For my project, there wouldn´t be more than 100 entries. But your solution would be the cleaner one, I´m agreed. I also don´t have experiences with admin webpages in modX, looking forward to see your solution

Hi

You can see the Docman snippet for exemple

I try to understand how it work because I am not a expert coder

That’s a nice addition. I thought when you guys say glossary, it will be some kind of word listing, but the word highlighting and popup descrption tooltip is a really nice addition.

Anyway, as an outsider, I would like to propose a few things.
It’s better to use a new table, instead of using document tree. I’m not saying that it’s bad, but it contains too much fields/columns that are going to be null, and I believe it will affect performance, and in the long run, I believe it will works much better with differen table approach.

As far as front page editing, I think you’re talking about user authentication. MODx has a built in web user API to check current web user group. If you want to authenticate a manager user, than I built my own function that I usually use in my snippet. Feel free to holler me, if you guys need it.

Sincerely,

Hi

Glossary function sounds great to me - as I understand it you mean that there would be a section where you could view a glossary of terms with descriptions; but also any published documents could have a glossary definition appear on hovering over any word that was entered in the glossary? Would be nice to choose on a document by document basis if the glossary would hightlight terms? Or alternatively to have an on/off funtion for the user so they could turn on or off glossary definitions whilst browsing?

Yes hightlight terms is great idea

Is this the same kind of snippet with phpGiigle from garryn?

This up is welcome, I will need it for my portal .. but I knwo i’s hard to developp .. I could only help in design not on coding

I don’t know if you want but I think that will be useful if it uses AutoLink.
If you need tooltip, I advise dommTT. It is very good and configurable.

I’d be happy to collaborate with this if you do decide to use Autolink. Let me know ...
