Introducing Gnosis

Gnosis: A Joomla! dictionary component.

Gnosis is a collection of plugins, modules, and the Gnosis component allowing the webmaster to manage lists of terms and definitions. Gnosis can be used as a simple glossary component with terms and definitions linked in in articles with a tooltip display. Gnosis aims, however, to continue to improve with the goal of becoming a tool to run a full dictionary website. This website was designed for that purpose: to showcase exactly what Gnosis might be capable of, and to expose its weaknesses so that it might continually improve.

Gnosis Installation

Gnosis is a Joomla! glossary package for managing list of terms, and their category, pronunciation, definition, example usage, and etymology. Terms can be added or edited in both the front end and the administration, as well as their ACL. Front end view consist of an Individual word view, Category View, Word List View, and an Edit/Add view.

The plugin is a pure CSS tooltip solution for both linking words in Joomla! articles to the component individual word views, and to show in the tooltip a set of configurable information about the term gathered from the database. The style and colors of the tooltip can also be configured.
