A plugin where you define definitions yourself.<br /> I tried this:<br /> <a href="http://www.internetmarketingmonitor.org/word-press-plugins/imm-glossary-wordpress-plugin/">http://www.internetmarketingmonitor.org/word-press-plugins/imm-glossary-wordpress-plugin/</a><br /> but got an awful lot of mysql errors and deleted the plugin in fear.<br /> Anyone tried this one on 2.8.4? The plugin looks great, but it is old.</p> <p>Perhaps there is a reason why it's not in the WP Plugin resipiory. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/300536#post-1194316 Mon, 31 Aug 2009 14:54:11 +0000 prometh 1194316@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>&lt;abbr&gt; and &lt;acronym&gt; may be read differently with screen readers. I haven't tested, though. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/300536#post-1177111 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 22:57:19 +0000 Joy Phillip 1177111@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Personally, using the Acronym plugin myself, I don't think there needs to be a distinction made. The only difference is in the code, &lt; abbr &gt; and &lt; acronym &gt; act exactly the same way when you look at it on the page that is displayed, so there's no use to do so.</p> <p>However, I would REALLY like to see a piece that will allow for import/export for a list of acronyms in the plugin. I've got a HUGE file that has all the acronyms I have come across that I'd love to just import into the database, instead of entering them manually for each and every one.</p> <p>Also I don't know how this is addressed, but how are multiple meanings of the same acronym handled? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/293116#post-1176697 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 12:45:17 +0000 rschilt 1176697@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Onya Ketsugi!</p> <p>Will test the latest version when it appears on WP.

Upgrading your plugin will not add these new ones. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/293116#post-1176617 Sun, 16 Aug 2009 10:16:06 +0000 ketsugi 1176617@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Could someone confirm that it's working?

I'll be doing most of my development and testing on a fresh install of the latest WordPress since I no longer have an active working WP blog install, so please let me know if anything I release breaks another plugin or conflicts with something else.</p> <p>Anyway 1.6.2 has been released with Spadija's regex correction. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/300722#post-1175381 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 19:26:05 +0000 prometh 1175381@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>One I just realized I forgot:</p> <ul> <li><strong>fps</strong> - Frames Per Second</li> </ul> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/300722#post-1175013 Fri, 14 Aug 2009 15:10:30 +0000 prometh 1175013@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Some time has passed since an official update has been made to the acronyms list in this plugin.

Your contribution to WP through your plugin has been tremendous and much appreciated by those of us that use it.</p> <p>Personally I don't have the PHP skills to take on the task of taking on the plugin so I'm hoping that someone else out there will it in their hearts to continue your excellent work.</p> <p>Good luck with all your future endeavours.</p> <p>R </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/293116#post-1153499 Tue, 28 Jul 2009 03:45:45 +0000 ketsugi 1153499@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hey, both of you:</p> <p>I'm afraid I'm no longer using WordPress, and therefore no longer developing plugins or maintaining my existing WP plugins. The source code is all out there, of course, and you're welcome to pick up the code and go with it. It's open source, after all.</p> <p>Thanks for your continued interest in the plugin! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/293116#post-1149414 Fri, 24 Jul 2009 04:47:08 +0000 rschilt 1149414@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Spadija,</p> <p>You're a magician!! I say that because anyone that can understand and write regex statements such as the one above certainly deserves more than medal.</p> <p>All jokes aside... I do use the Acronym plugin on a couple of my sites and although I have not noticed any issues I am keen to incorporate your fix "just in case".</p> <p>Before I do so... I am curious whether the plugin author has any plans to include this fix in a future/upcoming version? As I would prefer to "upgrade" than to fiddle with the "code".</p> <p>Thanks again and hopefully we will hear some further feedback,</p> <p>R </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/293116#post-1149189 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 22:34:00 +0000 Spadija 1149189@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>The Acronyms plugin is smart enough not to replace acronyms inside of HTML tags, but when I noticed that the plugin broke [caption] code in my posts, I discovered that it will replace acronyms inside of BBCode tags, thus breaking them. All that is needed to fix this is a slight modification of the regular expression it uses.</p> <p>If you replace the fourth line of the acronyms_replace function (line 377) with the following code, everything should work fine.<br /> <code>$text = preg_replace( &quot;|(?!&lt;[^&lt;&gt;]*?)(?!\[[^\[\]]*?)(?&lt;![?.&amp;])\b$acronym\b(?!:)(?![^\[\]]*?\])(?![^&lt;&gt;]*?&gt;)|msU&quot;, &quot;&lt;acronym title=\&quot;$fulltext\&quot;&gt;$acronym&lt;/acronym&gt;&quot; , $text );</code></p> <p>Hope that helps anyone who's been having trouble with this plugin! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-980736 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 20:36:36 +0000 rschilt 980736@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>K,</p> <p>1.6.1 working like a dream!</p> <p>R </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-980523 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 16:20:36 +0000 ketsugi 980523@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Yeah, for some reason I am sometimes getting a hidden control character before the &lt;?php and I don't know what's causing it. 1.6.1 seems to have fixed the issue and I'm never going to edit my files on Windows again. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-980212 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 06:11:42 +0000 rschilt 980212@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hey guys,</p> <p>I had the same issue with 1.6 and have reverted back to 1.6beta which works fine.</p> <p>R </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-980191 Mon, 09 Feb 2009 05:22:40 +0000 ladylynn 980191@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I auto upgraded to the 1.6, and it's still messing with my admin activities. For example, I just deactivated the plugin, and instead of bringing me back to the plugin page, it gave me a page with  in the upper lefthand corner. I was also unable to preview draft posts while the plugin was activated. Any kind of confirm or submit action would bring me to either a blank page or a page with  in the upper lefthand corner. Deactivating the plugin corrects those problems.</p> <p>I'm running WordPress v. 2.7</p> <p>BTW -- if I'm putting this in the wrong place or should be starting a new topic for my issue since it's slightly different from the one that initiated this topic, please let me know and I'll gladly do so. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-979933 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 23:11:03 +0000 nukeit 979933@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Getting a similar error with 1.6:</p> <blockquote><p><br /> Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /path/to/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/acronyms/acronyms.php:1) in /path/to/htdocs/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 850</p></blockquote> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-979868 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:08:20 +0000 rschilt 979868@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>K,</p> <p>I have reinstalled the beta version as it works fine.</p> <p>R </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-979861 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 22:01:33 +0000 rschilt 979861@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>K,</p> <p>Sorry to tell you this but the same issue has surfaced with 1.6<br /> Where's that beta version?</p> <p>R </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-979294 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 07:56:37 +0000 rschilt 979294@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>K,</p> <p>Trust Windows to foul up on something as simple as that!</p> <p>R </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/239708#post-979159 Sun, 08 Feb 2009 01:59:01 +0000 ketsugi 979159@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Sadly, 1.6Beta1 is almost identical to 1.6DEV.

If there's an entry in acronyms table "Tok Pisin" then "tok pisin" will not be recognised by the plugin.
