I want to insert videos in glossary but glossary doesn't support mambots/plugins, I found a code that can do this but don't know in which file and where in the file I have to insert the code any help is appreciated.

I assume that you want plugins processed for just the term definition.

In glossary.php, look for the showOneTerm function. On line 294, you'll see this line:



Right after that line, add these lines of code:



I tried this with the mosloadposition plugin - it worked fine. It should work for whatever plugin you have in mind. Good luck.

Thanks Greg the code worked kind of, I say kind of cause now the mambot function instead of showing tags however if definition of a term as a video and that term is been used in other place than I get error, to make it clear see the example and link below.

Term is Scrum, for the definition I use a video to show what a scrum is; now another term is ‘Forward pass’, for the definition I use a sentence that has the word scrum in it, the word scrum gets highlighted (which is fine) but instead of showing the video or not showing I get error http://www.armenianrugby.org/joomnik/glossary

I used AllVideos plugin.

Greg, I know is not your component and you don’t have to however your help is really appreciated, thank you.

Per the glossarbot instructions, you need to ensure that the glossarbot plugin is ordered last of the content plugins. Try this first. (I ordered it right before the Mos Pagination plugin.)

You'll find that the errors go away. But, in the floating div that appears, the definition will still show the {mambotcall... }. What would you like to have happen here? Show the video? Just remove the reference?

Hi Greg, You are The Man, reordering the plugins solved the problem.

Since you asked, will it be difficult to show the video in the popup window too or remove the tag.

Thanks.

Hi!

I follow this post and do the same job as you Aravot.
I tried to create modul that will display random word from glossary component table.
I did it with wery small knowlege about php but two things went wrong.
Code is:

$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) AS uk FROM jos_glossary WHERE published = 1";
$uk_rijeci = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($sql));
$rbr = mt_rand (0, $uk_rijeci['uk']-1);

$sql1 = "SELECT * FROM jos_glossary WHERE published = 1 LIMIT $rbr,1";
$random_red = mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query($sql1));
//echo "Rijeè br: " , $rbr+1 , "

";
echo "" . $random_red[2] . " -

";
//poziv mambotu
global $_MAMBOTS;
$_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
$tmp_row = new stdClass();
$tmp_params = new mosParameters('');
$tmp_row->text = $random_red[3];
$_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$tmp_row, &$tmp_params ), true );
$random_red[3] = $tmp_row->text;
echo $random_red[3];

First one, less important is when I use #__glossary in sql query I got error, altough it worked in this construction:

$sql = 'SELECT * FROM #__glossary
WHERE published = 1';
$database->setQuery($sql);
$rows = $database->loadObjectList();
$count = count($rows);
        ...

second one, the real problem, the code show media player only when page with glossary component is loaded. I assume that module code (part of gregdev code) uses something from component code.
So Greg or someone else, would you be so kind to drow me the final solution?

Thanks
