Glossary plugin

[yLothar]

I run a NodeBB instance for a mechanical keyboard forum and since in this hobby there are many acronyms it would be really useful to have the possibility that some keywords were automatically recognized with the possibility of creating a global glossary (ACP).

Something along these lines has been implemented for Flarum - https://discuss.flarum.org/d/27338-keywords-a-dynamic-glossary-for-flarum. I expect it should look the same @yLothar ?

[yLothar]

@phenomlab Yep! Exactly!

It is barebones and probably only works for english/latin feel free to test and let me know.

@baris Amazing ! Thanks very much. I'll test this as soon as time permits.

[phenomlab]

@baris and anyone else looking to get an idea of what this plugin looks like live

[yLothar]

@baris great! I will test it in my forum, you're my hero!

@baris It only works in English or Latin. Is it possible to add support for additional languages? Hebrew for example?
Thanks!

[baris]

@josef I am not sure, it would probably require modifying the regex in the plugin. https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-glossary/blob/main/library.js#L53

@baris first of all thank you very much for the work done, excellent!

I've been using the plugins for some time now and these are my comments / requests:

• visually I think the dotted underline and the "i" symbol are redundant: personally I would prefer to leave only the dotted underline but it would be great to be able to choose this behavior in ACP
• in Recent Card plugin, in any case, the dotted underline does not appear while the "i" symbol is there but the overlay does not work
• it could be very useful to have an automatically generated page - possibly indexed - with all the keywords entered and to be able to recall it in Navigation (ACP) with a specific route

What do you think?

I created issues for these at https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-glossary/issues

[yLothar]

@baris thank you!

[yLothar]

@baris I tested plugin and it works perfectly

Do you think it is feasible to allow the Customize plugin to localize the translation of "glossary"?

[baris]

Not sure how the customize plugin works but might need to add translations into the glossary plugin first so it can customize them. https://github.com/NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-glossary/issues/12
