This is just what I’m looking for. What about adding image functionality from Amazon/Google too?
Byte,
If you needed help remembering, you could just add some text in the POST screen, just like the list of allowed quick tags, eh?

OT : Not listened to Tangerine Dream in *years* …. used to love Encore too. Fine live too…

I didn’t know that… :-s I’m no programmer. Can you please give me an example how to add those things in the Post screen?
I haven’t installed phpGiggle yet, but from what it sounds like, this all should be put into a ‘definitions’ table. All words or acronyms that you want defined (highlighted) would be added and then given definitions. If you want the word to be linked to a search engine, then you would set that flag. Then the appropriate link would be created. You should also be able to add your own link for the word.
For example.
definitions
def_id – generated id
def_txt – text to be defined (i.e. php, James Bond)
def_desc – text description (i.e. PHP Hypertext Processor), show on mouse overs
def_url – opt. link for text
def_flag – search flags (i.e. ‘url’, ‘acronym’,’google’,’imbd’,’amazon’,’dictionary’)
The ‘control panel’ would just be a few form fields and radio buttons or a drop-list.
It could be expanded to have a search table, so you could dynamically add search items.
search
search_id – generated id
search_nm – name that will appear in flag drop-list (i.e. ‘google’,’amazon’)
search_url – url front to search (i.e. http://www.google.com/search?q=’)
This ‘control panel’ would be a few form fields to add, edit, and delete.
I added the acronymit hack a few days ago and was thinking about this since then. I think I’ll work on this ‘definitions’ hack after I get my people hack working correctly.
