@baris Perhaps I missed something here, but I've installed the plugin, but cannot see any reference to it in the ACP ? It's installed and active. On checking the logs, I see

I tried npm i xregexp and then a rebuild, but still got the same message

@phenomlab Can you try with [email protected]?

[phenomlab]

@baris That works ! Thanks

[phenomlab]

@baris is it possible to enable some form of CSV import for for this plugin ? I have potentially a large list of items I want to include, and typing them all manually would be very time consuming

Thanks

closed ability to upload from csv #2

[phenomlab]

@baris I noticed that the GitHub feature has been closed. Well this new feature be added to the version in npm ?

Thanks

[baris]

It is in version 0.0.5

[phenomlab]

@baris thanks

[phenomlab]

@baris [email protected] doesn't seem to exist ?

[baris]

Hmm that's weird, maybe I forgot to publish. It is published now.

[phenomlab]

@baris Thanks - I see it now.

@baris One thing I've noticed here is that the plugin seems gratuitous in terms of REGEX - it's matching on any part of the word, meaning things like AI is detected inside disdain and certain - is there any way we can have a setting that looks for a complete match rather than partial ?

[baris]

That sounds like a bug, please file it on the github repo. It should only match on whole words.

[phenomlab]

@baris I found the issue (for my case). In library.js the regex statement looks for insensitive as below

keyword.nameRegex = XRegExp(`(?:^|\\s|\\>|;)(${keyword.name})`, 'gi');

I've changed it to

keyword.nameRegex = XRegExp(`(?:^|\\s|\\>|;)(${keyword.name})`, 'g');

Which works fine for my use case (virtually all of the acronyms I have are in upper case). However, lower case words are still affected.

closed Issue with over gratuitous regex #3

[baris]

Seems like it is already matching the whole world AI it just matches lowercase as well. I can make the case-sensitivity an option in the ACP page.

[phenomlab]

@baris Yep, that would be great..

[phenomlab]

@baris From what I see, the plugin is actually firing on whole words

In this case, it's matching on bits as well as bit (which it should)

And also matching on dev inside devil

EDIT: Sorry - this was due to the CSV import I have... Ignore that

[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.
