Introduction

Glossary

Most of the time, glossaries available for Joomla! have the same common and boring display. You should say "nice but déjà vu". So, I've decided to create something different with an original display. Each word should be immediately identifiable and the definitions are "hidden" with some CSS3 (I've been inspired by the Wikipedia's display).
For creating "Dictionary" Joomla! component, I've worked on implementation that would meet four criteria:
- Should be Responsive Design,
- Import and export the content,
- Should combine simplicity on backend and powerful on frontend,
- About coding, light is right.


A complete documentation is also provided for free here: https://web-eau.net/en/development/dictionary/documentation

Dictionary has 2 frontend layout and is fully Responsive Design, it means that your content will be also perfectly displayed on tablets and mobiles phones.

Dictionary is provided with these language files:
- en-GB
- fr-FR
- it-IT
- nl-NL
- mk-MK
- nl-BE
- de-DE
- ar-AA
- pt-BR
- el-GR
- tr-TR
Thanks a lot to the translators #JoomlaRocks!

I've decided to provide Dictionary free of charge. For all and for ever. What are you waiting for to install it?

Quick an efficient support

Functionality
I looked for such a dictionary for a long time. Now I found exactly the look and feel I wanted to have.
Ease of use
Good installation and easy to handle because of a good menu structure.
Support
My support request was answered in a very short time frame. The recommendation worked perfectly. Thanks a lot for your efficient support.
Documentation
The user guidance is self-explaining. Nevertheless, the documentation is helpful.
I used this to: I created a dictionary to explain landmarks which are illustrated on a map.
Functionality
I can't use this extension because my definitions are too lang for it.
Ease of use
I didn't have any problem. It is easy to use. It cannot be better.
Documentation
It could have been written, that Joomla has to upload a .zip extension and not an unzipped extension.
I used this to: I had the aim to use this extension for an encyclopedia, but this extension is limited.
May be that they just need to change the number of allowed charachters.
Owner's reply: Hi,
Thanks for using my extension.
I'm very surprised you are facing such issue as... there's no limitation to the lenght of the definitions you can add in Dictionary.
In such case, it's always smart to contact the developer first rather than posting an usless and partialy untrue review.
Contact me and I'll help you with Dictionary.
Best regards

Functionality
Fine, no problems. It is a very basic component, but it does what it says...
Ease of use
It's very easy to use, no settings and layout wise perfectly tweakable via CSS...
Support
Excellent! The extension didn't work the way it was supposed to because of the template, so Daniel sent me two packages to fix it...

Functionality
This had everything I was looking for EXCEPT for the ability to index content added to the glossary. That was a deal breaker.
Ease of use
The extension is intuitive and easy to set up.
Support
At least one other person asked about content indexing in the developer's forum but there was no answer. Because of this, I can't use it.
Documentation
N/A - pretty much nonexistent
I used this to: I was going to use this to build a dictionary web site but without the ability to index the content, I can't search, which renders the point of a web-based glossary somewhat useless.
