Extension talk:Terminology

Hallo, was ist nun genau der Unterschied zwischen Terminoloy und der Glossary Extension?

Ok. I have terminology up and running and i LOVE how it highlights the words on the page (dotted underline) MUCH better idea than mine for changing the colours. I did it and my pages looked like rainbows.. this works much better.

Now I am still having problems (and i have ws_tooltip.js installed) getting it to display hyperlinks and formatting. If i use the ws_tooltip references the way they are showed on the page for that, everything is fine but when i try to put them on the terminology page and have the other pages reference them, all that shows up is the actual code.

Has anyone been able to get this working?

Formatting
Ok after ton of fighting and trying to understand the code in Terminology.php and the code in wz_tooltip.js I finally have a solution. I am going to document it here and if anyone with more knowledge of php and js can tell me a better way to do this, i'd be thrilled. I don't like messing with other people's code, especially when i have almost NO knowledge at all of the language being used to write it. There is a line that reads:
 * $span->setAttribute('onmouseover', "TagToTip('$term', STICKY, true, DURATION, -400)");

I commented out this line using // and replaced it with
 * $span->setAttribute('onmouseover', "Tip('$definition')");

and then commented out:
 * $span->setAttribute('onmouseout', "UnTip");

After doing this i was about to use  for adding line breaks and  tags for external hyperlinks to my entries on the Terminology page. One thing that is VERY important to keep in mind all instances of quotes in the hyperlink must be either converted to ascii or preceded with a \ for the hyperlink to work.

If you plan to use external hyperlinks, you also need to play with your settings in the .js file to get the combination of a wait time that works well for you. You can use any combination of sticky and clickclose or closebtn that works for your particular page.

I have also tried using unordered lists using the html tags and keeping everything on one line and that seems to work fine. I am guessing any formatting that required a hard carriage return to be placed on the Terminology page within the definition would cause things to break.

Example of the unordered list I used: TestAnother Test

..........Addendum

Ok I am running into a few problems. Not with the formatting but with multiple word 'terms' If i have a one word term that appears within another term that is made up of more than one word, the second term is not recognized as an entry.

For example: Reference Global Reference

The 'Reference' in 'Global Reference' shows up underlined and pops up the definition for 'Reference' but I can't get 'Global Reference' to work at all unless i delete 'Reference'

Any ideas?
