Plugins

The oldish Glossary Plugin is re-released. The code is re-developed, but the database stays the same for now. See latest developments or demo yourselves with a large grossary.

The plugin is intended to create glossaries for your site, whilst your content can be enriched with links to known glossary entries. Multiple subjects are supported and a autotag lets you choose which subject to use for a certain text.

Make sure you have users added to the glossary.admin and/or glossary.edit security groups.

Glossary catches the userID that submits a term, and the userID that edits a term. Along with a timeStamp. Categories can be defined which work site wide.

Configuration is still old-fashioned; find them in config.php. Available languages are English and German (with thanks to Alexander Schmacks).

These updated plugins support PHP 7.0+ and also contain new features and bug fixes as well. Please visit the download page of the specific plugin to find out more information. The plugins above can also be found on Github in our Geeklog Plugins Repository.

Updated: 2020-04-22 - Please note, that the new reCaptcha Plugin included with Geeklog v2.2.1 is not compatible with how the old reCaptcha plugin determines whether to display the reCaptcha or not on a page. This means older versions of plugins like the Forum that uses reCaptcha will either have to be updated to version 2.9.4 or the older plugin's code will have to have a small manual update (only if you want the reCaptcha to be used). See this Forum post for more information on the code you need to add to your older plugins if you want it to continue to use reCaptcha with it.

I just wanted to give an update on Geeklogs next release. I was hoping it would happen by the summer but that unfortunately looks not to be the case. We are hard at work on Geeklog v2.2.1 and hope to see the first beta by September 2019.

Some of the new features in Geeklog v2.2.1 include:

• New PHP Session Handling System (move to use PHP built in system)
• A Likes System for articles, comments and plugins (can include likes and/or dislikes)
• PHP 7.2 and PHP 7.3 support
• Updates to the latest library files for CKEditor, jQuery, Uikit, etc...
• Plus more and a large number of bug fixes as well...

Update (2019-06-24): Please note for Geeklog v2.2.1 we plan to up the minimum PHP version required to PHP v5.6.
