See screenshots: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fanatic84/KanjiKeywordOverlay/anki2.1/screenshots/screen1.jpg --- Kanji OverLay can also change the color a kanji depending of your knowledge of them. This needs a custom deck to be specified. See "How to use ?" for more informations. See screenshots: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fanatic84/KanjiKeywordOverlay/anki2.1/screenshots/screen2.jpg Red : kanji not seen Blue : kanji not referenced at all (3007 kanji referenced by default so it is fairly rare) #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- HOW TO USE ? #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- A. Quick configuration First of all, in order for this plugin to work, you will need to specify in your template the appropriate markup for your fields. If you have already japanese plugin installed, you probably already have {{furigana:Field}} or {{kanji:Field}} defined in your template. In that case, you should remplace them with {{kol:furigana:Field}} or {{kol:kanji:Field}} If it's not the case, you will need to add {{kol:Field}} for each field that you want the overlay to be displayed. By default, Kanji OverLay plugin use a predefined English Keywords set using Heisig. With that you are ready to go, the overlay should be displayed on your kanjis. If you want more customisation go the next section. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- B. Custom configuration https://raw.githubusercontent.com/fanatic84/KanjiKeywordOverlay/anki2.1/screenshots/DialogBox.png B.1. Choose the profile and check the checkbox to start customization B.2. Choose your kanji deck, then configure the following field inside your kanji deck : B.3. Choose your kanji field B.4. Choose your keyword field B.5. Choose your on yomi field (optional) B.6. Choose your kun yomi field (optional) B.7. Choose your memo story field (optional) B.8. Enable if the markup {{furigana:Field}} or {{kanji:Field}} are used for display the overlay B.9. Enable if the default english database is used if a kanji is missing in your custom kanji deck B.10 Use colorisation of kanji depending on the level of knoweldge you have of that kanji B.11 Specify an url of the link, when you click on the kanji ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- C. Customisation You can change place inside your user_files: C.1 "styles.css" in order to customize the style You can customize the style of the overlay by creating a new "style.css" file inside your user_files directory and adding your css override. For instance: - class: unknown will change the style of values found in your deck and not yet reviewed - class: kol-missing will change the style of values not found in your deck - class: kol will change the general style of kol and kanjis found in your deck and already reviewed C.2 "template.hbs" in order to customize the overlay template You can customize the content of the overlay by coping the original template.hbs inside your user_files directory and modify it. You can display any fields from the kanji note inside the overlay. Just add it inside the div with the class kol-overlay. C.3 "scripts.js" in order to customize the javascript of the overlay You can customize the behavior of the overlay by coping the original scripts.js inside your user_files directory and modify it. #-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- CHANGES -#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#-#- v0.3.3: - Fix issue using multiple profile v0.3.2: - Fix kanji coloring not working v0.3.1: - Fix issue when selecting parent decks for kanji custom deck v0.3.0: - Refactor to make it for anki 2.1.22 - Breaking change: if you use {{furigana:Field}} or {{kanji:Field}} in your template, then you need to change it to {{kol:furigana:Field}} or {{kol:kanji:Field}} - Update README - Improve field selection in config - Improve custom templates: You can now display any field from your kanji note in your custom templates v0.2.2: - Refactor to make it for anki 2.1 - Rewrite README to make it clearer - Add more field on yomi/kun yomi/heisig storyies to be display in overlay - Add configurable templates, styles and scripts v0.2.1: - Add an option to be able to add link that open a configurable url when you click on a kanji. - Fix an issue where you couldn't copy / paste kanji without the definition important: --------------- The css loading has been changed.
