Glossary

Jon- I just spent a while beating on this problem- and there's clearly a need for a little more info/debugging on this.

I kept getting this problem with no explanation I could understand. Finally, I went back to another course and exported the glossary and then imported, and it worked as expected. I did switch to firefox after playing with IE for a while - so that might play a small role. I also ran into some minor formatting- i.e. you view the xml and then paste into notepad, it actually copies over the dashes (- <ENTRY>) so have a look at that sort of thing. When in doubt, look at what moodle exports to figure out how to import.

I wish the format were consistent with the other import features... but oh well.

d.i.

Hi Jon,
See explanations in the Moodle Documentation.
You cannot expect to import glossary terms from a simple text file. I agree that the instructions on the Glossary Import screen could be better, and should state clearly that the expected file is an XML file.
