Form for users to submit missing Marathi words for EXISTING English words about marathi-shabd HOT 11 OPEN

Haven't started on this yet, was a bit busier than anticipated this week, sorry. Will start on this later tonight!

I'm not too familiar with the best way to set up something like that, to be honest. 😅

from marathi-shabd.

No problem. I have some other tasks/ideas in my head that I'll put in the issues sometime. Looking forward to your help there, if possible. 😃

Thanks again 😊

I could work on this, you want the logic to be implemented in .md?

Hi @masonwoodford

Can you tell how to plan to do this first? Especially the database part - which database file will be used? Where will it be located (in this repo or an external site?) and how words will be added to it?

And good to see you here again 😄

Same to you, I have to look into it a bit but could the words not just be stored in another csv file? I'm thinking the logic for submission would make the most sense in html/js files, similar to the ones found in the docs folder.

I'm not sure it is possible to modify a csv file stored in the GitHub repo. But you can try. If it works then great. 😊

@masonwoodford you can also go through the conversation at #25. The benefits of having external database and limitation of GitHub pages as a static site is discussed there.

Though this (the search functionality, not the missing words addition) is being worked upon currently using external database, it is going on at a slow pace. So if your above alternative solution works, we can put that to use.

Hey 👋🏼 @masonwoodford

I didn't hear from you. Have you started working on this?

from marathi-shabd.

I have the missing words sorted out, but I see the problem now, no way to allow users to add to the definitions.

Yes exactly.

• For that the database (the csv file) which you wish to write to needs to be on some external website which allows writing to the database.
• Once a user on our website enters the missing words and clicks the "Submit" button then a script on our webpage should run and add that word to this external database.

If you are willing to try such a solution let me know.
