The Big Idea
Your site content may use technical, specialized or unfamiliar terminology. You can create an on-site dictionary for users to refer to when they run into a term they don't know.
Parameters
By editing the glossary section of your site's .ini file, you can control how terms are added to your glossary.
- If you want site staff to have total responsibility for adding and controlling all glossary content, set
ApprovalPolicy=closed.
- If you want to let users suggest terms, but keep control over what the final result looks like, set
ApprovalPolicy=wait. Only site staff can edit the suggested definitions, and only site staff can make them visible on the site.
- If you want to let users freely add and maintain entries, set
ApprovalPolicy=open. When a users adds a term it will immediately show up on your site. Users can edit definitions they entered themselves, and site staff can still edit the entire glossary.
