[nodebb-plugin-glossary] Glossary Plugin for NodeBB

[phenomlab]

@baris another suggestion would be to empty the table storing the glossary items. When you import 1000 plus from a CSV it's very clunky to have to delete them all one by one if you need to.

Published 0.0.7, with bunch of fixes and new options.

@baris Thanks. I spotted a bug in 0.6 when performing a large import. The mapping being returned should be (for example SNMP Simple Network Management Protocol comes back with SNMP something completely wrong)

Examples

and

Not sure if my data is incorrect (I'll check), but wanted to report this in case it is actually an issue. Reverting back to 0.5 the issue is not present

and

So, I think there is a bug somewhere

Yeah the csv import is pretty picky, it expects the format to be

keyword1, description1 
or 
keyword2, "description2"

If you provide a small csv sample that doesn't work I can take a look.

add csvtojson support · Issue #7 · NodeBB/nodebb-plugin-glossary

use https://www.npmjs.com/package/csvtojson instead of custom code

@baris thanks. So a space is required between the comma and the next field. Odd that this doesn't seem to happen in 0.0.5

[baris]

I updated the plugin to use https://www.npmjs.com/package/csvtojson so it is using the csv spec from https://www.loc.gov/preservation/digital/formats/fdd/fdd000323.shtml

[phenomlab]

@baris This doesn't seem to work for me at all using the latest version sadly. It doesn't matter which format I use, the import always seems to work, but exhibits the same issues as I highlighted earlier. Version 0.5 does not have these issues from what I can tell.

[baris]

Please share the csv you are having an issue with.

[phenomlab]

@baris here you go

csv

It's worth noting that after the import, I then backported to 0.0.5 and the import works as intended.

[baris]

Published, 0.0.10 with some more fixes. I tried your csv and SNMP is working with latest. Obviously I haven't tested all 1000+ keywords

[phenomlab]

@baris thanks very much for this. I'll test it now

Edit - from what I can see, everything now works as expected. Thanks

@baris Hi @baris , I think I missed it. What is "single match" option?

[baris]

If the same word is used multiple times in a post only the first one will be turned into a link if single match is turned on.

[volanar]

It is necessary to disable the use of keywords in URLs. Plugin must not affect URL

[crazycells]

Hi @baris , would you consider adding a "notes" or "extra info" section at .com/glossary page?

It can look like this:

There can be various use cases of this section. I believe it is also usual for regular dictionaries to have a notes section for:

• origin or history of the word
• other forms of the word
• example sentences

etc.
