Page Layout ⇒ Glossary usurps chapter name in fancyhdr

[mr418]

I am using the glossaries package to produce a number of glossaries for my PhD thesis. A glossary of terms goes at the beginning and two glossaries, one of reagents and one of suppliers goes in the materials and methods section.

I am using the fancyhdr package to put the chapter and section in the header. In my materials and method section on every page from that including the glossary of reagents the chapter title in the header is replaced by the glossary title.

This is the code which makes my glossaries:

Code: Select all

%%%------Make Glossaries

\usepackage[toc,nonumberlist=TRUE]{glossaries}



\newglossary[rlg]{Reagents}{rgn}{rgt}{Reagents}
\newglossary[spg]{Suppliers}{spn}{spt}{Suppliers}
\newglossary[gng]{General}{gnn}{gnt}{General}
\newglossary[crg]{ComonR}{crn}{crt}{ComonR}


\loadglsentries[Reagents]{A0_glossariy/glos_Reagents.tex}
\loadglsentries[Suppliers]{A0_glossariy/glos_Suppliers.tex}
\loadglsentries[General]{A0_glossariy/glos_General.tex}
\loadglsentries[ComonR]{A0_glossariy/glos_ComonR.tex}
\makeglossaries

%%------End Make Glossaries

This is the code which prints my glossaries.

Code: Select all

%--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%-----Glossary: Reagent
\setglossarysection{subsection}
\renewcommand{\glossarypreamble}{Reagent and instrument suppliers are referred to in the text by a short names. The following glossary provides the full name and company address for each short name.}
\singlespacing
\printglossary[	type=Suppliers,
		title=Suppliers Details,
		toctitle=Suppliers Details,
		style=list,
%		nonumberlist=TRUE,
%		numberedsection=autolabel
		]
\doublespacing
\glsaddall[types=Suppliers,]
%---------End:Glossary
%--------------------------------

%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
%-----Glossary: Common Solvents
\renewcommand{\glossarypreamble}{A list of common solvents and reagents referred to throughout the methods section with their suppliers and grade.}
\singlespacing
\printglossary[	type=ComonR,
		title=Details of Common Solvents and Reagents,
		toctitle=Details of Common Solvents and Reagents,
		style=list,
%		nonumberlist=TRUE,
%		numberedsection=autolabel
		]
\doublespacing
\glsaddall[types=ComonR,]
%---------End:Glossary
%-------------------------------------------------

Any help getting the correct chapter title into the header would be greatfully recieved.

Can you provide a minimal working example. For example:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage[toc,nonumberlist]{glossaries}

\usepackage{lipsum}

\pagestyle{fancy}

\newglossary[rlg]{Reagents}{rgn}{rgt}{Reagents}

\makeglossaries

\newglossaryentry{sample}{name=sample,description={sample entry}}

\newglossaryentry{sample2}{type=Reagents,name=another sample,
description={another sample entry}}

\glsaddall

\begin{document}
\printglossary

\chapter{Sample Chapter}
\lipsum

\printglossary[type=Reagents]

\chapter{Another Chapter}

\lipsum
\end{document}

Hi Nicola

The following code replicates the problem on my system running xetex on windows xp.

I have attached the pdf produced by my system.

Page 7 has the chapter and section titles in the header as I wish. Page 11 in chapter 2 has the glossary title in place of the chapter title in the header but still the correct section title.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{book}

\usepackage{fancyhdr}

\usepackage{lipsum}


\pagestyle{fancy}
\renewcommand{\chaptermark}[1]{\markboth{\MakeUppercase{\thechapter. #1 }}{}}
\renewcommand{\sectionmark}[1]{\markright{\thesection\ #1}}
\fancyhf{}
\fancyhead[RO]{\bfseries\rightmark}
\fancyhead[L]{\bfseries\leftmark}
\fancyfoot[C]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0.5pt}
\renewcommand{\footrulewidth}{0pt}
\addtolength{\headheight}{0.5pt}
\fancypagestyle{plain}{
  \fancyhead{}
  \renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
}


%---Glossaries Stuff

\usepackage[toc,nonumberlist=TRUE]{glossaries}

\newglossary[spg]{Special}{spn}{spt}{Special}
\newglossary[gng]{General}{gnn}{gnt}{General}

%--General Gloss
\newglossaryentry{sample1}{type=General,name=another sample,
description={another sample entry}}
\newglossaryentry{sample2}{type=General,name=another sample,
description={another sample entry}}

%Special Gloss
\newglossaryentry{Special1}{type=Special,name=another special,
description={another special entry}}
\newglossaryentry{Special2}{type=Special,name=another special,
description={another special entry}}

my make index executions look like this:

Code: Select all

-s "%bm".ist -t "%bm".gng -o "%bm".gnn "%bm".gnt
-s "%bm".ist -t "%bm".spg -o "%bm".spn "%bm".spt

Thank you for your help

That's interesting. I get an error with your example. I think there's a conflict between xfor and fancyhdr. (I don't think this is related to your problem, but it suggests you're using older versions that me.) I'll have to fix xfor.

I'll have to fix xfor.

My mistake. I've already fixed it but for some reason hadn't put the new version on my texmf tree.

The problem's caused by the \@mkboth in \glossarysection. You can redefine it after you've used \setglossarysection:

Code: Select all

\makeatletter
\renewcommand*{\glossarysection}[2][\@gls@title]{%
\def\@gls@title{#2}%
\@ifundefined{phantomsection}{%
\@glossarysection{#1}{#2}}{\@p@glossarysection{#1}{#2}}%
}
\makeatother

Brilliant, that works perfectly!

Thank you so much.

Just to let you know, in the new version (2.02) that I've just released, you can replace all the above with

Code: Select all

\renewcommand{\glossarymark}[1]{}
