Allow synonyms handling for glossary taxonomy terms

Consider integration with the Synonyms module?

Never used the Synonyms module → , so can't say if its integration would have some interest.

But thanks for sharing.

Hi @mably,

OK, so the Synonyms module → allows deep integration of terms that are marked synonyms of other terms and as such it is really powerful addition to sites.

It's configuration is remarkably simple in that it simply ask you—per Tax vocabulary type—to specific which field is the 'Source of' synonyms - these fields are simply plain-text fields.

Thus, we have long ago gone ahead and targeted a field names Synonyms (plural) and so we have a multi-value plaint text field populated all over.

It's just bad luck that we dis not call is Synonym (singular) ;-(

We wonder whether it would be more standard—a vastly more flexible—if Taxonomy Term Glossary enabled the site builder to choose which particular plaint-text field they wish to use as the source of Synonyms too.

Configuring the Taxonomy Term Glossary module (mock-up)

I think it could be done rather easily, we could a minima use a simple text field in the configuration screen.

@sirclickalot Are you interested in testing such a configuration option?

@mably,

Very definitely good to test yes because to be able to power the pop-ups using synonyms on our site would be a great step forward.

Just to clarify, would be providing the opportunity to pick which field to use as in my mock-up above?

That will be something like this, is it ok?

@mably,

Yes, sure.
Maybe if possible limit it is to plain-text fields or at least field types from which it can extract plaint text.

MR pushed.

List is restricted to multivalued string fields.
