Glossary import Export
Can we import glossary terms from one file to another
Zio,
I have a 110-term glossary that needs to be duplicated in 8 additional Storyline projects, so I was very interested in your clever XML workaround. However, try as I might, I cannot get the glossary to show up in my test .story file. Can you help me? Here's what I did:
1. Rename the project (with the glossary terms) from .story to .zip
2. Open the archive and locate story/playerProps.xml then open in Dreamweaver
3. I am given the choice of viewing or editing, I choose viewing
4. Copy <glossary> to </glossary> to notepad; name file glossary_xml.txt (word wrap turned off)
5. Rename target project (the one needing glossary terms) from .story to .zip
6. Extract zip file
7. Locate story/playerProps.xml and open in Dreamweaver (this time, maybe because the file has been uncompressed, I don't get the choice to view or edit)
8. Replace <glossary> to </glossary> with contents of glossary_xml.txt then save
9. Re-zip the file structure and rename with .story extension
10. Open the new .story project, and open Player Properties/Glossary
The message says "Click here to start adding glossary terms to your player frame." BUMMER!
Where did I go wrong?
Hi Bruce,
I just used this method and did basically the same steps as you and it worked. The only differences: Step 2 I unzipped instead of opening the zip, step 4 I did not copy to a text file, just pasted directly into the other playerProps.xml.
Perhaps just try again with those variations?
Thanks Zio for the solution!
Hello,
How did you rezip the whole thing again once the changes have been made? I am stuck here.
Thank you for the attention.
