Does anyone know of a glossary mod that works with 2.1.x?

We run a medical related forum and whenever you hovered over certain terms, a window popped up with a box with an explanation of what the term represented. The mod we used before was "Glossary v0.3.1" and it has a few errors when trying to install it with the new SMF version.

I haven't seen one myself. The only such mod at our mod database is compatible only with 2.0.x.

You can always request one compatible with 2.1.x at our Mod Requests forum and hopefully someone will code it for you.

I've been monkeying around with the old glossary mod, trying to update for 2.1.x.

I successfully updated it, but got stuck when I tried to convert it to hooks only

I was going to try to modify the old one by using the same code by just resolving the install errors. When I try to do the install there are a few blocks of code that can't find the right installation points in the new pages.

Yes, the changes in 2.1 do require an update to the targets...

I was not able to get this to work. I updated the install.xml code to resolve the install errors that were being flagged. Basically, resolving the target points. I did not change any other code. I got to the point where the package installer would show "Test Successful" for everything (it did skip certain files). The updated packaged installs but it still is not working. I hate to ask would you be interested to share the changes you made?

Right now, my version of the mod is in a between state.... I have the hooks partially working... but I removed all the original edits.

I'll try to get back to it this month

Sorry, I started a new RL job that is taking much of my time.

I'll see if I can take some time over the 4th weekend
