• The plugin work well and is efficient. But it acks some feature :

    – What about responsiveness? When your site is displayed at less than 600 px, and if the tooltip appears on a word to the extreme left (or right), the reader will just see a cropped tooltip. It needs further @media in order to adapt it.

    – It would be cool to have a “duplicate” option in order, at least, to copy the general settings of a tooltip.

    – It would be nice to put a “no link” option when creating a new term. Whatever, I have just to put a “#” in order to don’t link the terms.

    I hope you’ll update this nice plugin.

  • 1) Yes, it’s true actually the responsive is not great because we are working to improve the actual code with new features.
    The problem on it is the theme, because the majority of issues reported are old themes or crappy themes but we are working on it.
    I created a ticket to report the status https://github.com/CodeAtCode/Glossary/issues/48
    2) Do you mean for a specific tooltip you want to change the theme?
    3) Do you mean that the tooltip will contain only the text from the terms? Usually this is useless because the text of the tooltip is not enough so require an another page. In case of new feedback we can improve that behaviour.

    Wow, fast answer :p

    2) Nah, what i mean is just a “duplicate” option for terms, which will make an exact copy of the term post (same text than the original, same options, same links) and which will be in draft mode, the time for us to edit the text and the title inside it (it’s just for produtivity, faster)

    3) What I mean is when I add a new glossary term, I have 2 choices : put an internal link or put an external link. It would be cool to have a 3rd option : no link. Why? Because I have to put some general definition which are not really linkable to any of my post.

    For my project, the glossary will be hidden. I just need the tooltip in order to give a better experience for my readers. This means I’ll put all the mywebsite/glossary post in no-index.

    Well, one more important think : I haven’t look at the code yet for the difference between internal and external… But in few weeks my website will have 100 post, in few months more than 1000. It will be impossible to choose an URL from the dropdown, even if the search function available. At the moment, I’m planning to put link as external link for my internal link^^ because it’s the only way to copy/paste an URL of our website. So, maybe consider to add the possibility to copy/paste a link in the internal link tab, don’t force us to use the dropdown list.

    Last thing, reguarding the responsiveness. A bit of Javascript is needed imo. Look at this demo here with the code here

    EDIT : Oh… I have forgot another thing. You wer speaking about old or crappy themes. The problem is in the code itself : it’s not responsive. I’m using a framework (for info) so it’s not the theme. The .glossary-tooltip-content has a fixed width, so it’s actually impossible to make it resize properly on smaller screen without Javascript or @media. Max-width vs width, that is the question :p

    First of all thank you for the feedbacks!

    2) A features like this is outside the context of the plugin but you can do it with another plugin, there are many duplicator post plugin that can do it this for you. Also don’t forget that there is the related terms field.

    3) So you use the glossary terms but you don’t want the glossary archives. We can do it, for the https://github.com/CodeAtCode/Glossary/issues/49 link in the tooltip automatically the system add it only if the text is too much.

    4) There is the search view to add a link, you have problem with that?

    5) we are working to do new themes for the plugin so we will check also that problems for the fixed size of the tooltips.

    2) Ok

    3) Yes, I’ll not use the glossary archieves… but others people would find this feature usefull. Don’t modify this in my opinion, people can easily add automatically a no-index on the glossary post type with SEO plugins if, like me, they don’t need archives. No problem.

    4) No problem with the search view… but being able to put one of our link manually will be great in addition to it.

    5) Ok. It seems that a bit of Javascript is needed in this kind of plugin. When the tooltip touch a border of the screen, it has to dynamically adapt itself.

    Good luck for the development.

    3) I can add an option that disable the archive automatically ??

    4) So with your link you are talking about to paste an internal link without pick manually. For it you can use the external link that have a url field.

    Thank you for the feedbacks!

    The support for disable in the frontend the archives will be available on 1.2.0.
