Yup that's what I thought, I like listing the family because it gives you an idea of what other plants are related which I always find interesting.

OK, it was just a thought


I think it's worth making sure that we keep scientific names in there; that's clearly woth ensuring. So much easier then to look up more information.


And will do wonders for search results

I thought you suggested having the scientific name as the term

No sientific name followed by common name (in brackets) sorry that was not very clear !

eg.

Tillia cordata (Small leaved Lime)
Castanea sativa (Sweet Chestnut)
Cucumis sativus (Cucumber)
Solanum tuberosum (Potato)
Lycopersicon lycopersicum (Tomato)

varieties could be listed under a seperate heading? Sorry I don't know it just made sense to me to use the nomalencture in existence.

Aha, I understand, I didn't really want to split it down into too many categories, let's wait and see what the guy who developed the glossary says, I've asked him if he can change it so that duplicates are allowed. Thanks for the input though.

I just got the following reply from Sascha:

Quote:
i think this will be not so easy to change, because the function, that saves
the entry uses the savefunctions from the mambo db class. You have to change
the whole function to use own db-commands to save the entry to the database.
I can change this first, when I work on Glossary 2.0 but at this moment, i'm
very busy with my homepage.
