Hi,
My question is regarding Moodle 1.9.17 and the Glossary module when automatic linking is activated, when users click on a link to a glossary entry and a pop-up window of the relevant glossary item appears.
I was wondering if it's possible to remove the link to the glossary instance that appears at the bottom right of the glossary item pop-up so that users can't navigate to the glossary instance itself.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Matt,
When I used to use Moodle 1.9 I always thought that the glossary popup window was un-necessarily cluttered with useless elements, in its header and footer sections. The new glossary popup window in Moodle 2 has gone to the extreme inverse.
Anyway, you can easily remove the links by removing the footer section of the popup window. In file <yourmoodle>mod/glossary/lib.php, simply remove or comment out lines 779-781:
if (isset($entry->footer)) { // Unparsed footer info
$text .= $entry->footer;
}

PS If you are also interested in removing the header in that popup, tell me.
Thanks Joseph,
That's good to know. So I guess that there isn't a built-in setting anywhere to do it without hacking the code. I can add a parameter to the settings.php file and in the relevant functions that print the pop-ups. I'm surprised that nobody has added this option to the core code.
Thanks again for your help.
