Hi Françoise,

Yes, unfortunately, highlighting errors can make them stand out too conspicuously . Although it depends on the style you have chosen in your Moodle theme for highlighting hyperlinks. Actually, our actual style is much less conspicuous than the one I used in my message. It looks more like this.
As for students simply not clicking on those erroneous words to go & check the correct form in the "grammar glossary", it is another problem. Hopefully, thanks to the new Glossary entry tracking enabled in version 1.5 it will be possible for the teacher to track those clicks & act accordingly.

> But it is all very time consuming...

Is this some sort of understatement? wink

See you soon in Paris, cool

The variable $CFG->preferlinegraphs is located in file \moodle\config-dist.php
(to be copied to your working config.php file)
It is by default not given any value.

// This setting will make some graphs (eg user logs) use lines instead of bars
// $CFG->preferlinegraphs = true;


It is used in file \moodle\course\loggraph.php
around line 100:
if (!empty($CFG->preferlinegraphs)) {
$graph->y_format['logs'] = array('colour' => 'blue','line' => 'line');
} else {
$graph->y_format['logs'] = array('colour' => 'blue','bar' => 'fill','bar_size' => 0.6);
$graph->parameter['bar_spacing'] = 0;
}


Which means that this setting has site-wide application (at the moment).
As Martin said, remember that 1.5DEV is still in development...

Thanks Eloy!

Now we'll be able to track & see whether all those efforts gone into creating glossaries & Moodle's auto-linking system are leading to actual look-up of glossary entries!
As soon as we have 1.5 stable installed I'll start the tracking study.
