I am using V. 2.1.3 (Build: 20111128) and I have noticed some odd behavior in the glossary module.
I have created a master glossary for one course. The intent here is to hide the glossary so that it is not visible but have the entries in the glossary autolinked so that they will appear throughout the course. Here is what I have done.
- Create glossary and set it to automatically link entries.
- Create entries and set them to automatically link.
- Add Page resource to course with entries in them and check functionality. At this point the glossary works as expected and when I click on the word a popup window appears with the entry in it.
- Go to glossary and set visibility to hide.
- Go to Page resource and check entry. Now when I click on the word I am taken to a page with the entry text in it instead of having a popup window appear.
- Go back to glossary and set visibility to show.
- Go to Page resource and check entry. At this point I have had two different things happen;
- The entry does not work at all (no link).
- The entry works as expected and I get a popup window.
The premise for hiding the glossary is that we have created pages with navigation buttons at the bottom of each page to facilitate an orderly flow through the course. We want the entries to be accessible, but we do not want the glossary itself to be part of the course flow. Any ideas what might be happening here?
