Additional

  • Glossary is a repository object. It is not a service and can therefore not be used within other components.
  • Glossary terms can be embedded in ILIAS learning modules and presented there.

Roadmap

Short Term

Remove Public Access Exports From DB

In the table glossary, the following columns can be removed:

  • downloads_active
  • public_xml_file
  • public_html_file

Mid Term

Use central Online/Offline code

Glossary still has its own online field in table "glossary". The object service should be used instead.

Improve Architecture

  • Introduce repository pattern
  • Improve DI handling
  • Factor business logic out of UI classes
