Can anyone supply me with an idiot's guide to using the glossary as a gallery. I have had the relevant file downloaded but what do I do to create a gallery?

This is not that hard.

Once you have installed the gallery format into the glossary Module (instructions for this are in the download) all you have to do is go into your Moodle course and set up a new glossary.

To make this Glossary a gallery, choose "Photo Gallery" from your "Display Formats" list.

I wont go through each individual settingas they are prety much the same for each glossayr. But that will set up your gallery.

To add images.
- Open your new gallery glossaery
- Be sure you are logged in as a reacher (You can set it up so students can upload, but we wn't go into that now)
- Click "Add a new entry"
- Again, this is pretty dtandard Glossary stuff, just fill in all the fields
- The main change is the last field which asks yo to add an attachment. Just click on "Choose File" and select the image you wish to add
- Click Save changes
- That's it.

Remember that moodle has built in help all throughout the glossary. If you are confused about the function of any particular field, just click the yellow "?" next to it.

Hello Julian,

Sorry for this question but I need help.sad

I have copied the Photogallery 1.5 into the folder--->

C:\Program Files\EasyPHP1-7\www\Moodle\mod\glossary\formats\gallery-v1.5

Went back to initilize the glossary.

Tried to make new glossary in course. I did not get the photogallery selection.

Can you help me???

Thanks in advance.

Hi Garry,

Please re-name the folder "gallery-v1.5" to just "gallery" and ensure the files inside are not in a subfolder.
