Glossary

The Big Idea
Your site content may use technical, specialized or unfamiliar terminology.
You can create an on-site dictionary for users to refer to when they run into
a term they don't know.
Parameters
By editing the glossary section of your site's .ini file, you can control
how terms are added to your glossary.
-
If you want site staff to have total responsibility for adding and controlling
all glossary content, set
ApprovalPolicy=closed.
- If you want to let users suggest terms, but keep control over what the
final result looks like, set
ApprovalPolicy=wait. Only site
staff can edit the suggested definitions,
and only site staff can make them visible on the
site.
- If you want to let users freely add and maintain entries,
set
ApprovalPolicy=open. When a users adds a term it will
immediately show up on your site. Users can edit definitions they entered
themselves, and site staff can still edit the entire glossary.
