If you read back through my tickets you’ll see I ran into additional issues.
Things Encyclopedia doesn’t do
My final comment on this plugin was and is . . .
I’ve given up on the plugin ever doing what I need and have rewritten my scripts. They are up and working at https://surveyorslexicon.com. I was right, it did take a lot less time rewriting my scripts. I did learn a lot so again, thanks.
I’ve made a couple improvements to my original work. The layout now used grids instead of tables. When a prefix letter is selected off the horizontal menu, the script filters the selection from the database and builds the index out of just the prefix letter selected. As long as the “Load Complete Index” button isn’t clicked the prefix selected index remains. I may add a second prefix filter menu. Maybe. At this point I’m not seeing the need.
I have another improvement I’d like to make involving the search function. I fussed with it a bit yesterday morning but it’s going to require more brain time to get just what I want. I’m letting it percolate to see what rises to the top.
I’m using procedural formatting for my scripts. I read somewhere they’re just a bit faster.
I truly believe you can learn php/mysql (assuming you’ve got a bit of a lead in on programming) and come up with a better and more logical set of scripts.
