What is the easiest way to copy a Glossary from one course to another? I want the same glossary available to both (all) my courses, but cannot figure it out.
Thanks.
Jeff
Hi Jeff,
In the meantime, the easiest way is to backup only the glossary and restore it in every course you want (with the standard backup/restore feature).
However, I think the import/export functions will be available soon.

Thanks Will.

Hi again,
Please, check CVS for the latest and test it... I would like to know about timing with a glossary large enough like yours.
Thanks,
Will
Actually, I have one large site where the glossary filters are really slowing things down on a very large page. In particular this is a report page for a journal in a class with many students, each posting a lot of HTML text.
This is really a journal bug, since that page isn't very scalable, but I'm also thinking of implementing a disable_filters() function that can be called from certain pages to disable all the optional filters for that page (it would simply set a temporary CFG variable that is checked by the filter function).

Re: Copy a Glossary from one course to another
Perhaps this is a good moment to think about implement this (or something similar, of course)...

I think that it could give us full flexibility handling filters...
Only one idea, ciao

Yes, indeed - thanks for the reminder!
Just takes a lot more time that I don't have, though... (Groups groups groups groups)

If you want I know somebody that can take a try with it...

Don't know if it works for you, but I implemented the removing of glossary filters in the printer-friendly version by sending <nolink>$entry->definition</nolink> to the format_text function...

I have the newest CVS and the glossary continues to load very slow. I do not have anything else really in the course, so it is hard to tell if it is slowing down anything else.
Jeff
It happen when loading what frame? And with which category/letter selected?
In ALL entries or categories, I think the time is... well.. undestandable...
However... when we add the variable Automatic Linking... I bet we are adding a pretty load here...
Try to remove the textfilter of the Glossary and see what happen... Try to load different view of the glossary (all entries, those that begin with L for instance, a category...)

When I click on the button for the glossary, it is a very slow load. The screen is the default glossary view with the entries for A showing. Also, I get this at the bottom of the page... Asian Tigers:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home2/website/socialstudies-www/lib/adodb/adodb.inc.php on line 2497
so all of A is not loading. If I try a smaller letter, Y for example, it loads quicker with no error. The All button produces this error and only loads to this point:
armistice:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home2/website/socialstudies-www/lib/datalib.php on line 476
If the test filter is removed, everythign loads fine. But, I really want this linking function.
Jeff
You should have an entry with the concept field empty or something like that... Could you "export" your glossary and send it to me??
Does the global option not provide the glossary to all courses?
Yes, it does.. But you don't have the "exporting to main glossary" funciontality with global glossaries that are not in the current course. Thus, if a student needs to browse the whole glossary, s/he will need to go to the course where the global glossary is (perhaps the main page).
I was assuming that Jeff wanted a glossary that belong to the current course while being an image of another glossary, perhaps in other installation.
All the best,
Will
