Glossary auto-linking is a site [[Filter]] that will create links to a glossary activity entry where the word or phrase of the glossary entry is used within the same course in which the glossary is located. This includes forum postings, pages, labels etc.
The Glossary auto-linking filter creates links to a glossary activity entry whenever the word or phrase is used elsewhere in course, such as in forum posts, labels or page resources. The link trigers a popup displaying the Concept and Definition. If more than one entry has the same "Concept" string, the first one will be linked.


==Enabling the Glossary auto-linking filter==
# If enabled, a teacher can turn the filter on (or off) in the course, or in a particular activity, via the Filters link in the administration block.


==Site Administration settings==
Note: Enabling the Glossary auto-linking filter does not automatically turn on linking for each glossary entry.  In the glossary settings 'Automatically link glossary entries' should be set to Yes, and for each glossary entry the checkbox 'This entry should be automatically linked' should be ticked.
Glossary auto-linking must be enabled by an administrator via ''Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Filters''. This Filter can be enabled by selecting either '''On''' (where glossary entries will be by default auto-linked) or '''Off but available''' (where the option to use auto-linking is provided in the glossary activity settings).


Note: Enabling linking for the glossary does not automatically turn on linking for each entry - linking needs to be set for each entry individually.
==Site administration settings==
 
# The Glossary auto-linking filter must be enabled by an administrator in ''Site administration > Plugins > Filters''. See [[Managing filters]] for more details.
In addition, you can apply this filter to '''Content''' or to '''Content and headings''' within a course. Please note applying filters to headings as well as content can greatly increase the load on your server. It is recommended to use the 'Apply to' settings sparingly. The main use is with the multilang filter.
 
Using the up/down arrows in the '''Order''' column you can specify the order in which each of the enabled [[Filters]] are applied.

The Glossary auto-linking filter creates links to a glossary activity entry whenever the word or phrase is used elsewhere in course, such as in forum posts, labels or page resources. The link trigers a popup displaying the Concept and Definition. If more than one entry has the same "Concept" string, the first one will be linked.

Enabling the Glossary auto-linking filter

  1. If enabled, a teacher can turn the filter on (or off) in the course, or in a particular activity, via the Filters link in the administration block.

In the glossary settings 'Automatically link glossary entries' should be set to Yes, and for each glossary entry the checkbox 'This entry should be automatically linked' should be ticked.
