Vocabulary or node tooltips
The Glossify module provides filters that scan and parse content and adhance terms in the text with tooltips and optionally add links to their pages. Currently it consists of 2 filters:
The latest version of the module now has full Unicode support for terms and content.
- Glossify with taxonomy
- links taxonomy terms appearing in content to their taxonomy term page.
- select which taxonomy vocabularies to use as the source for the terms.
- indicate whether or not matching is case sensitive.
- indicate whether or not every match should be linked or just the first occurrence.
- display the term definition as a tooltip while hovering the glossified link.
- Glossify with content
- links node titles of content appearing in other content to their node page.
- select which content types to use as the source for the terms.
- indicate whether or not matching is case sensitive.
- indicate whether or not every match should be linked or just the first occurrence.
- display the text from a selected field on the linked node as a tooltip while hovering the glossified link.
- Glossify with drupal commerce products
- links commerce product titles of content appearing in other content to their content page.
- select which commerce product types to use as the source for the terms.
- indicate whether or not matching is case sensitive.
- indicate whether or not every match should be linked or just the first occurrence.
- display the text from a selected field on the linked node as a tooltip while hovering the glossified link.
Specific to D7 release
Also, the module provides a theme function (theme_glossify_links), some basic css, and 2 icons to format the links. Override and customize as desired. See Beginners guide to overriding themable output for more detailed instructions.
Specific to D8 release
Output is basic HTML5 elements with "title" attributes. This shows native to most browsers, and can be nicely styled with a host of 3th party JS plugins like tippy.js .
Roadmap
Currently, the following features are planned:
- option for selecting which field to use for the URL(currently links only to 'taxonomy/term/tid' or 'node/nid').
Other features from the previous version of the module will probably not be restored. New features will be considered on an individual basis. Feature requests with patches will receive priority consideration.
Merge of Taxonomy tooltip and Glossify
Glossify is a "merge of taxonomy_tooltip and glossify" as per D8 version.
