GLOSSARY FORMAT PLUGINS
-----------------------

Starting with Moodle 1.4, the glossary module supports a plugin
architecture to create your own formats. This plugin system allows
you to "invent" your own presentations for your glossary data. :-)

To facilitate the creation process a TEMPLATE format has been created.
You should use it as the base for your own modifications (this requires
some basic PHP skills). The template includes all the available data.

Please, follow these STEPS:

1.-Think of an English word (or short phrase) to define your format.
   For further reference in this document, we call it "THENAME".
2.-Duplicate the TEMPLATE directory (under mod/glossary/formats/TEMPLATE).
3.-Rename it to THENAME
4.-Go into the THENAME directory and rename the TEMPLATE_format.php file
   to THENAME_format.php
5.-Edit the THENAME_format.php file. Change every ocurrence of TEMPLATE to
   THENAME.
6.-Login into Moodle. Go to any glossary in your site.
7.-Edit (configure) your glossary. In the Format popup you'll see a new
   entry. It will be showed as "displayformatTHENAME". Select it and view
   your glossary.
8.-Edit the THENAME_format.php. Make your format modifications and reload your
   web page to see them in your glossary. This file has been commented to make
   things easier to understand (further suggestions welcome!)
9.-If you want to translate your THENAME format name to some nice name to
   be showed in the Format popup, simply, edit your lang/XX/glossary.php
   file (where XX is your language) and create a new displayformatTHENAME
   string.
10.-Enjoy!! (and don't forget to send your amazing glossary formats to
   the Glossary forum on http://moodle.org. They will be welcome!! ;-)
