Request: Plugin for mediawiki/dictionary-search-option

Post by ostfriese2004 »

Hello world!

Does anyone have some spare time and would like to do a favour to the great S9Y-Community? :-) What I am thinking about is a plugin that adds a small search form/bar to the sidebar and looks up every entered word in a mediwiki installation (some kind of dictionary or encyclopaedia). The results should be shown in a popup windows or within the content area. Another nice option would be a top down list showing all the keywords in the dbase.

To avoid troubles with interwiki-links and other things an easier solution would be a drop-down-list-field which shows all predefined keywords. If a keyword is choosen, the definition is displayed in the context area. Keywords and definitions are saved in the regular sql-dbase...

*Additional note*
There are some free php-based dictionaries on sourceforge - maybe we can link a search bar with one of its databases. :-)

Kind regards

Helge
