This component is a total new Version building from scratch. One of the main aims was that the components output is xhtml-valid and use the right semantic for this type of information.
Features are:

• Administration with Joomla backend
• Different administration for menu items, so it is possible to have more than one glossary on your site
• Simple access control management (one group for submit new items and one for administrate items)
• Changing items with front or backend
• Submit item via frontend
• high configurable frontend usage
• Manage categories only in the backend
• Notify about new item with email
• Autopublishig items if wished
• Showing of Author Name, Email and Webpage, can disabled
• Category chooser, definition can disabled in the frontend and a default value for the category could set. (new with RC2)
• Full package: Searchbot and Contentbot for highlight glossary items available (new with RC2)
• Migration script for glossary (mambo glossary 1 . 8 ) users (new with RC2)

At the moment RD Glossary is a Release Candidate and not for production usage. But anyone can help me to make a stable Version. Please test the component, read my documentation, read the help pages and press any button in the combination you like. If you found a bug please report it via the bug tracker http://developer.joomla.org/sf/tracker/ ... acker.bugs or post in this thread.

edit: download the stable Version on http://www.run-digital.com


Thanks in advance

Hello lukewill,

Do you plan to include some form of import/export capability? Ie it would be good if one could import a two column tab delimited txt file with terms and translations.

Moreover, have you tested it in a UTF environment and different language scripts?

is it normal that the output has absolutely no css-markup whatsoever?

One Glossary related question + one developer.joomla.org general one.

1.- I'm using RD-Glossary component on Joomla 1.07 and does fine for me. Testing it, though, I find some 'minor' bugs within the glossary items table in the backend:

• "Undefined property: type in ... administrator\components\com_rd_glossary\includes\item.html.php on line 61" error. That's related to the following code line:
  echo $row->type ? "" : $checked;
• 
  and the same error for line 64: if ( $row->checked_out && ( $row->checked_out != $my->id ) || $row->type ) {

2.- In the frontend it doesn't show (I can't get to) the glossary item comments

On the other hand (that's the general question) I tried to sign to the RD_Glossary mailing list and to send a bug report at
http://developer.joomla.org/sf/discussi ... discussion
but didn't find how to achieve it. Is there any way I can? Or should I be an admin alike?

Thanx for the attention and reply,

Thanx eyezberg. 

Hello!
Is there  anyone here that might know why is it impossible to include a word on the frontend? the save button is "dead" 

Sorry for the large delay.

No plans for an import/export capability.

No I haven't tested in a UTF environment, but I have been in contact with guys from Russia and it works in the env they use.

You don't need this, we have an id around the glossary content and you can use context selectors to format with css.

You have to set up a default category for the menu item if you disable the category chooser. If this is not the problem, please post a more detailed problem report

Hi Lukewill I never got a message that you answered my question, 
I roblem, but I dont know where to set up default category or where to disable category chooser. It is not on the configuration menu. I just have:

Auto publish entries   Yes
Notify Chief Yes
Chiefs Email
Allow submit entries for registered
Allow administration entries for administrator
Show Author No
Show Author-Selection in Frontend No
