Glossary Space Blueprint
Highlight and Select Definition to see it
Free Open Source Software
The glossary space blueprint sets up a space to contain glossary terms. A glossary space can be linked to one or more regular spaces by sharing a common space category.
Highlighting a term, select the 'show definition' icon, and the definition will pop up.
The source code for the plugin is publicly hosted on Bitbucket at https://bitbucket.org/keysight/keysight-plugins-for-atlassian-products

Keysight has decided to publicly release the plugins developed in-house to support our instance of Confluence. The source code for the plugins is available under an Apache 2 license from https://bitbucket.org/keysight/keysight-plugins-for-atlassian-products.
The glossary plugin is a very simple implementation. First, a glossary space is created from the Glossary Space Blueprint. What makes it a glossary are the top level pages A, B, C... and the space category "glossary". The glossary can then be linked to a space by having the two share a common space category (i.e. add the same space category to both the glossary space and linked space.) A use can then highlight a word or phrase in the space and select the definition icon. That will pop up the contents of the page with that title in the Glossary space, give the user the option to create the definition if it does not exist and they have permissions to do so or finally request that the admins of the Glossary space define the term.

Summary
Bug fix
Details
Prior to this release, the child pages in the glossary were created in a wierd way such that the page restrictions did not resolve correctly making the pages inaccessible. Moving the pages using the Confluence re-order tool fixed the issue. In this plugin, a slighly different API call was used to establish the parent/child relationships and the restrictions are being properly inherited.
