 +===== How do I obtain teasers ? =====
 +
 +Also: "all my teasers are empty. What is happening ?".
 +
 +G2 by default does not create teasers from the body of the definitions (node body): it uses the "Entry expansion or translation" field, which can very well be empty for glossaries containing a mix of acronyms (with expansions) and normal terms (without expansions).
 +
 +So, there are two main possibilities if you want to have teasers on all G2 definition nodes:
 +
 +  * create the teasers in that field yourself. This is the normal solution for this module
 +  * use hook_form_alter to auto-generate a teaser from the body, typically using node_teaser()

 The trick is not to use the predefined block, but to create a custom block using the function supplying the predefined block with data: _g2_random(), which returns data for a pseudo-random entry. With the result of this function, it is possible to create the link you want and format it just as you wish. The trick is not to use the predefined block, but to create a custom block using the function supplying the predefined block with data: _g2_random(), which returns data for a pseudo-random entry.
