Overview
########

PloneGlossary is a Plone content type that allows you to manage your
own glossaries, propose definitions and search in one or more
glossaries. Any word defined is instantly highlighted in the content
of your site.

After adding a glossary, you can add your definitions to
it. Definitions are a simple content type. Enter the word you want to
define as the title, and the definition of the word in the text
body. You can also specify variants of the word. For example if you
define the word yoghurt, you may also want to allow the variants
yogurt or yoghourt to be valid. Definitions will be highlighted (like
an acronym) when they appear elsewhere in your site. (Also see the
ploneglossary configlet.)

Once you have a large number of definitions in your glossary, you can
browse the glossary by the means of an alphabetic index, or perform a
search in the glossary. Each glossary has an integrated search engine,
which is simply a ZCatalog.

Requirements
############

Plone 3.0

Installation
############

Installing PloneGlossary
========================

Installing the latest release
-----------------------------

Of course use zc.buildout. Just add this line to your buildout.cfg::

[instance]
recipe = plone.recipe.zope2instance
...
eggs =
...
Products.PloneGlossary


Installing a subversion checkout
--------------------------------

We assume that your instance has been built with the `plone3_buildout`
template for the paste script (otherwise you should change
instructions accordingly)::

$ cd $BUILDOUT_HOME/src
$ svn co \
https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/Products.PloneGlossary/trunk \
Products.PloneGlossary
$ cd Products.PloneGlossary
$ python setup.py develop

Then edit your `buildout.cfg`::

[buildout]
...
develop =
...
src/Products.PloneGlossary

And change the `[instance]` section as described in `Installing the
latest release`_ above.


Plone Unicode issue
===================

If you use an old version of Plone (< 3.2), you'll encounter `this issue
<http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7522>`_: using non ASCII characters in
your glossary requires to change the default encoding of your Zope.

To do this, add a `sitecustomize.py` file to your $SOFTWARE_HOME with
these two lines::

import sys
sys.setdefaultencoding('utf-8')

Then replace "utf-8" above with the value of the "default_charset" property
in your "portal_properties/site_properties".


Upgrades
========

Visit in ZMI the `portal_setup` object of your site, click `Upgrades`
and select `Products.PloneGlossary:default`.

If you're upgrading from PloneGlossary 1.2 or older you may force
upgrades using "Show old upgrades".

Configuring
###########

Add a glossary portlet
======================

Use the portlets manager to display a portlet of all definitions found
in the displayed content.

zope.conf tweaks (optional)
===========================

PloneGlossary assumes that your site charset is UTF-8. As this charset
must be known very early in Zope startup, we cannot always use the
charset in the properties of your Plone site.

PloneGlossary views have a batch size of 30 terms. You might prefer
another size.

If the Plone sites of your instance use another charset, or if you
need another batch size, you might append this to your `zope.conf`::

<product-config ploneglossary>
charset iso-8859-15 # Or any valid charset that suits your needs.
batch-size 40 # Or any positive integer you might prefer.
</product-config>


The Glossary configlet
======================

Highlight content: if this option is chosen, all defined words
are hightlighted in the chosen content types (see further).

Description length : Choose the maximum length of the given definition
in the highlights.

Description ellipsis: Choose an ellipsis. It is used in the highlight
when the defined term exceeds the description length.

Not highlighted tags: Define the html tags in which definitions should
not be highlighted. Default: h1, a, input, textarea

Allowed portal types: Select the portal types for which defined words
are highlighted.

Use glossaries globally for all content?: When checked, all glossaries
will be used to highlight terms globally for all of the site's
content. By unchecking this option, only the first glossary found
while traversing upwards from the content is used.

General glossaries: Select glossaries used to check related terms of
content.

Additional tools
================

PloneGlossaryTool
-----------------

A tool is installed by the installer. It provides a few configuration
options so that you can customize and manage your glossaries.
