Preventing automatic linking

Re: Preventing automatic linking

Hi Hassan,

You can turn linking off for your course as follows:

1. Click on Filters on the left-hand side
2. Turn Glossary auto-linking and Activity names auto-linking both OFF
3. Click Save Changes

If you are happy with auto-linking in other parts of the course but just want to turn them off in the forums, then:

1. Click on the forum to enter it
2. On the left-hand side under Administration, click Filters
3. Turn of Glossary or Activity linking here as above

Unfortunately we don't have a guide on this.  The Moodle guide is available at https://docs.moodle.org/28/en/Managing_filters but doesn't add anything really beyond the above.

Hope this helps.

Stella
