Random Glossary Term [vBa CMPS module]

[RS_Jelle]

This vBadvanced CMPS module displays a random term of Mindestic GlosPro (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=132632).

I tested it on vBulletin 3.5.4 with vBadvanced CMPS 2.1.0 and vBGlossary Basics 1.1.0.

It adds one query to a vBa page and it's fully phrased and 100% W3C XHTML 1.0 compliant.

I had to change the adv_portal_glossary_random_term template to:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


In order to get the path to correctly reflect the locations of My files.

Oh, Thanks!

[RS_Jelle]

Thanks for reporting this issue, I fixed it ;)

any way to add a block like this to VBDrupal ?
I'm sorry, but this isn't possible. I'm only using vBadvanced CMPS (and testing a bit with vbPortal), but I don't use vBDrupal.

Hi I was trying to add glossary description as well in the module. so i edited the module php file as follows:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Now, although the glossary description is also showing up it is also showing some garbage html along with it, how do i remove that garbage... thanks for the module.

Just have a look at top right side at my website: http://www.sikhphilosophy.net

Thanks

I'd love to have the description with the html being parsed aswell but I would need it limited to a certain number of words.:cross-eyed:

@Neutral Singh: Instead of your extra code, use this:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


And to use this function, you need functions.php (put it in the beginning of the if statement):


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



@jaks: Have a look at Neutral Singh's post and this post. Then just put the $glossary_module_description variable where you want it in the template.
To limit the number of characters, add this after the strip_bbcode line:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------


Change the 20 to the amount of characters you want :)

Thank Neutral Singh and RS_Jelle not me for this.

Modified Module to include description:


Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Add this where you want it to show in your adv_portal_glossary_random_term template:


Code:
---------------

Works fine with vBulletin 3.6.7 PL1, vBadvanced CMPS 3.0 RC1 and Mindestic GlosPro 1.2.2

vb 3.6.8 with mindestic gloss.

Maybe a little help.

I managed to get it working on cmps but the.... ? image goes to a blank page /glossary.php?do=viewglossary&term=

though the [glossary] link does go to the correct page, the question mark goes to a blank page. Do I have something that needs changing in the code.

I had to turn it off for now.
