Michael,
Once again, many thanks for your reply + time. I am interested in this script, and certaily will place an order for it, if you can take care of some details... Let me try to clarify the points that were not so clear:
Number of links:
With time, they will increase in number... so the 2000 target was just an example... if this would be part of AM, maybe it could easily be handled without problem with MySQL... as is, what would be in your opinion a safe number of links to be easily handled without overloading the script/AM/the loading of each page!?
When I mentioned the using the link format:
http://www.site.net/cgi-bin/myClickTrack/myClickTrack.cgi?id=56&cid=17
I was talking about using this in the ini file. If John Smith is to be found in the ini file, as per your example, then it should be something like:
John Smith|http://www.site.net/cgi-bin/myClickTrack/myClickTrack.cgi?id=56&cid=17
Jay Williamson|http://www.site.net/cgi-bin/myClickTrack/myClickTrack.cgi?id=56&cid=18
etc.
I assume you normally already put this in the templates/article/default.html file? If so the script would not interfere if that's what your asking. If not clairfy where exactly you intend to put this.
... so, no, this would not go on the templates/article/default.html file but on the ini file.
I did a test on this as we never really thought about it. It does give the hyperlink to the first time it sees this (actually it gives it in the <a href="word"> portion. We can easily fix this by putting in a statement saying to ignore all <a href> tags.
This would be great!
5. Can your script let me set the link properties (target window _gloss instead of _blank, its position, scrollable, no menu, no toolbar, 380 x 240 pixels, etc. --- and if not at this point, would you be willing to code it into the script? This is a must for me). (Or should this rather be opened by the window that open, for example?)
Give me a sample of data you would attempt to do and I'll see if its something that can be done already or with a bit of extra code. I tried it with target_blank target_gloss and both worked.
My question is not related to content t be displaied in the popup, but the window that opens when the link is clicked. What I would like to do, is have each link popup a window, target being user definable, either each window on its own window, or, if defined as _gloss, have all popups open replacing the previous window, with scroll bars, but no menu, no toolbar, non-resizable, and placed on the upper right corner of the screen (distances 0 to top and 0 to the right). Each popup window should measure height = 380 pixels and width = 240 pixels.
The content would be just the included in each shtml page, with each glossary definition as per the link --- simply displaying what content is on the shtml page, be it text, an image, whatever.
One other question/sugestion: would you be interested in developing a script to enable the inclusion / automation of the use of overLIB so it could be added to AM!? Might be a must, given the already noted in one previous message... and the fact that it's a mature script, and FREE!... Your script would still have an important role to play, as it could be easily used for many other things...
As for installation, glad to know you do help people get it installed! A time saver no doubt!...
Many thanks for your time.
