Little sugestions for new version - 2010/05/25 19:00 I think that it's good that new glossary version have got two features:

1· In administration terms, I think that it's good that can puslish/unpublish terms without the need to enter every time to term page. (similar than many other components)

2· Other suggestion, and maybe more dificult is that can add a image for a term.

3· A system to backup our glossary terms.

Many thanks for you effort!

Re:Little sugestions for new version - 2010/05/26 13:51 I'm testing the new version and I think that its the best if is posible to add this sugestion:

4· Posibility to justify text definitions (also center, left and right alignment, bold, italic...). Maybe it's posible to use other content mangement for example JCE).
5· Posibility to create some diferent views in menu link system (for example one with a frontpage that shows all glossarys created, submit new terms for users...)
6· I think that it's good to Glossarbot can use with diferent Joomla instalation that we have got the dictionary and can search glossary terms. I think that it's good to many people.

I'm conscient that I say many features suggested and maybe other can be not easy but with time, i say my opinion.

See you and many thanks for this component.

Re:Little sugestions for new version - 2010/06/04 09:42 Thanks for your comments. There are actually solutions to most of them:

1. You can change the published status of one or more items by using the tick box column in the list of items, and clicking on the toolbar options for publish or unpublish. The only limitation is that there is not currently a single click option for changing an individual item. You do not have to enter the item edit page to change the status.

2. Definitions are allowed to use Markdown syntax - this supports the inclusion of images, and a number of Glossary users are doing this. Please refer to the Markdown syntax document for details (http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax)

3. All the Glossary data is in the database - isn't database backup adequate for securing them?

4. Glossary always puts a link into the header to glossary.css (in ../components/com_glossary). If you would like to change the general styling of the component, you should modify the CSS in glossary.css. It was a policy decision to use Markdown rather than a WYSIWYG editor. The WYSIWYG editors cause many problems, especially when deployed on the user side of a site. JCE in particular is inflexible and the author does not reply to requests for advice on its implementation.

5. Some alternative views are a possibility, although on the whole I prefer to have a single view with a reasonable amount of flexibility. Adding modules gives greater flexibility than alternative views. I'd expect that there will be more modules over time.

Re:Little sugestions for new version - 2010/06/13 20:53 Hi Martin!

I have new suggestions that I think that it's good for implement.

7· Posibility to add multiple terms at twice. For example I write definitions with text processor and afet I copy and paste to Glossary component. For every entry only write: letter, term and definition. I think that with multiple entry view can save many time.

8· Posibility to user to do a review forevery entry. Maybe editor can do wrong with ortography or definition term and maybe a user can detect it an do a comment, that only can view administrators.

Many thanks!

Re:Little sugestions for new version - 2010/06/22 14:07 Hi Martin!

Every day I'm using Glossary and I think some new features that can be good.

9· In administration view when we are looking all entries I think that it's good that all entries can filter by Letter and also, can sorting for alphabetical order. I think that if this view use Joomla Framework this can be easy.

10· Other thing that I look is when admin select to display all terms, when add new terme the list now show 20 terms. I look that other components have a "memory" and later continue showing all terms.

11· Possibily to user to select how many terms can look it every page.

Thanks for all.
