Introduction

Easy Glossary is a dictionary for your Joomla website. You write a word once. Then visitors can:

  • Hover the word in an article and see a short tip
  • Click through to a full definition page
  • Browse an A to Z list of all terms

Live demo: demo.joomlax.com/demo/utilities/easy-glossary

The main pieces
  • Component (Components > Easy Glossary): where you add glossaries, terms, Import and Export, and Configuration
  • Content plugin (Content - Easy Glossary): finds terms inside articles and draws tips or links
  • System plugin: helps with page extras on glossary pages
  • Editor button: inserts a manual term shortcode when you need it
  • Module (optional): shows letters, featured terms, or search in a sidebar
What you can do
  • One or more glossaries (for example Product terms, Legal terms)
  • Terms with a short tip and an optional full page
  • Auto highlight in articles (or tip only / link only / off)
  • A-Z pages: list, grid, columns, blog, accordion
  • CSV import and export, sample data, and database reset
  • Optional Suggest a term form for logged-in visitors

Student tip: Start with one glossary, five terms, one menu item, and one test article. When that works, add more.
