I have moodle 2.4.6+ and cannot get the auto-linking to work. I have copied the words in the glossary to the main page and to a forum in the course.

My settings are as far as I can tell correct, below are images of the site-, module- and entry settings.

You have given screenshots of the glossary settings but have you also ensured that sitewide the glossary auto linking feature is enabled in Administration>plugins>filters>manage filters AND that it is enabled in your course in Administration>Course administration>Filters?

Hi Mary, thank you!

It was the Administration>plugins>filters>manage filters that was the problem; it wasn't set so I didn't have the alternative under Administration>Course administration>Filters

 

Now it all works like a charm சிரி

Hi Mary,

My school has just set up Moodle 2.5 (previously we had a very old Moodle 1) for our intranet so I'm on a crash course of learning its features. I've created a glossary and set everything I can (I don't have admin rights) to auto-linking (including the entries) but my first entries aren't auto-linking to the terms in the book I've also created.

The glossary filter auto-linking setting says "activity names auto-linking   Default (on)" 

The book was created before the glossary.

thanks

Michal
