Glossary

The Glossary plugin manages a library of terms used across the Social Impact Award network. Terms are authored as a custom post type and can be organised by category — covering event topics, community roles, partnership types, testimonial subjects, and team member roles.

The plugin also links glossary terms into content automatically: when a published piece of text contains a recognised term, the plugin can highlight it and surface a tooltip, giving readers context without leaving the page.

  • Custom “glossary” post type for authoring and managing terms
  • Terms organised by category: event topics, community roles, partnership types, testimonial subjects, SIA team member roles
  • Automatic term highlighting in post content with tooltip overlays
  • Role-based visibility: editors see pending and private terms; other users see published terms only
  • Shortcode for rendering a full, browsable glossary on any page
  • Transient caching for fast retrieval across the network
  • Activity tracking: glossary edits are forwarded to the Website Reports Airtable base
