How do I import entries from another glossary?
I am frustrated trying to import my old images glossary into my new glossary with XML
Please note the tracker issue MDL-28526
Here is a workaround, there has to be an easier way but
- Create a webfolder that you can link to. For example call it "images"
- Add images to that folder
- Export your XML file and edit it
- Change the src="@@PLUGINFILE@@/ to something line src="Mydomain.edu/images/ for every entry in the file.
- Save the XML file with a different name
- Import that new XML file into your new glossary
Now when you use the course import feature, your glossary will work in the new course.
How can I make a glossary global?
See this forum thread on making a glossary global.

---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Entry list | x | - | - | x | x | link |
