    Glossary confusion

    I'm wondering if the glossary is working right on my installtion:

    I enter the phrase : "Read more on [?]aardvarks [/?] in the glossary."

    After saving the phrase is : "Read more on [?]aardvarks [/?] in the glossary."

    Should it not turn the term aardvark into a link?

    Atutor 1.6.1-pl

    Win and Linux

    Re: Glossary confusion?

    the '?' you typed, is it in another language encoding?
    If so, it will not work. To by pass this, you will have to use the English question mark '?', instead of other language's question mark. For instance, this will not work: (Chinese encoding question mark)

    Thanks for the reply, Harris!

    The question marks appear when I click the "Add term" link, so you could say they come from ATutor itself...

    Hmm... I cannot reproduce this on either my local version or the demo. Would you mind to try reproducing this problem on our demo server please?

    He he, I just did:)

    If you see content 2.2.1 Presets, i made an attempt in the second line.

    oh I see. You will have to click on the "Glossary" tab after you have added [?][/?], and add the definition there. Otherwise it will not find any definition and think that it's part of the content.

    I hope this fixes the problem.

    Ah, I did not understand that...

    Thanks for helping out!

    After you have added a term in content, with [?] [/?], you will have to click on the 'Glossary' tab above, and add the definition in. Otherwise the link will not appear.
