: Parley: the same term in two lessons?

[Sabine Emmy Eller]

The next thing I am wondering about:

One creates lessons with entries - but some entries should go into more than one lesson.

For example: when I create a vocabulary trainer for English to whatever language, I should be able to say:

1) "lesson 1 - Traveling to Great Britain" (which follows for example the entries found in a schoolbook) where for example the terms Germany, Great Britain are inserted

then one day there is a specific lesson about Geography

2) "lesson 35 - All about Geography" where among many other country names you also have Germany and Great Britain

The entry in the database should be single, while the usage twice or even more depending fromt he actual lessons. This avoids that spelling errors get distributed, because only one entry is maintained.

Up to now I did not see any example like this in files I downloaded. (While cleaning the files I am preparing the next steps ... so it would be good to know beforehand instead of having to do things twice).

Btw.: you might be interested to read this short note about "How to make it easy to contribute?"

Hi Sabine,
at some point we experimented with having words in more than one lesson.
In the end it turned out that it is very confusing how to manage this in the
user interface and requires quite a bit of special casing.
In the end, it was decided, that the overhead of allowing this with the
current library we use to manage kvtml and the extra user interface bits are
not worth the effort.

Cheers
Frederik

Thank you Frederik!

This means I will need to solve this once we maintain the data in Ambaradan - it's then a matter of how to export. For now: I'll create one lesson "mixed" and various specific ones like animals, countries, medicine, music etc. - in the end: I'll use classes and subclasses and the lesson structure over time will change a lot. I worked with Parley, but there are many features I still don't know well.

Cheers, Sabine
