This is a repost since I didn't categorize my request correctly. Original post here:

I am using the glossary module with version 4.7 and when I open "?q=glossary", all the words appear as an unordered list, rather than the word followed by the definition (description). When you click on a word, it goes to a glossary/operations page where I can mange the vocabulary, not the definitions. The only way I see definitions is with a mouse-over, but Firefox them off after a certain number of characters. The Index at the top is present, and clicking on the letter returns an unordered list of terms by letter (still no definitions)

Am way to change this?
Is this a feature?
Has the functionality changed since 4.6.x?
Should I submit this as an issue?

Thanks for your assistance.

I created a bug report for this issue here:
http://drupal.org/node/64291

I don't think G2 glossary has the functionality I require, otherwise I would consider switching. I need nodes filtered and the words in the glossary hyperlinked to the definition as well as a summary page with the terms and the definitions.

A good tip for integrating full glossary definitions in a mouseover tooltip (without the cut-off in Firefox and the no-show in IE) is to use Dustin Diaz's javascript Sweet Titles. See:

--> http://www.dustindiaz.com/sweet-titles
-- add the js code to drupal.js (or to jstools.js if you have this installed)
-- add the css code to glossary.css
-- blank out the 'addy' variable in the Sweet Titles script, to avoid the script displaying the URL of the glossary link.

Works for me and looks great. Perhaps worth integrating into the glossary module?
