== Link to "Site administration"? ==
Very intresting wiki site!... Thanx! --[[User:HarryRens|HarryRens]] 15 October 2005 23:42 (WST)
Re Site administration - stupid question I know but... how do you get to https://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Site_administration from this Main Page? --[[User:Mary Cooch|Mary Cooch]] 17:49, 13 August 2011 (WST)


== Discussions ==
: Hi Mary, AFAIS there's no link yet, see [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Site_administration]]. The available links on the main page for site administration look rather haphazard to me. They seem to be derived from [[Template:Managing a Moodle site items]] which also is used for the menu block on every admin documentation page, e.g. [[Managing a Moodle site]]. So you could add <nowiki>[[Site administration]]</nowiki> to that template. --[[User:Frank Ralf|Frank Ralf]] 23:43, 15 August 2011 (WST)
There is very little discussion about MoodleDocs that I can find. I know there used to be a whole course at moodle.org dedicated to discussions about documentation, but that appears to have vanished. Is there a substitute for it? Where can I ask questions about this wiki? For example: How do I change my username from Delius to Gustav? --[[User:Delius|Delius]] 09:41, 26 January 2006 (WST)


:Thanks for your comments. Please note that [[User:Martin|Martin]] will make an announcement about the documentation very soon. Re. changing your username, the easiest way to achieve this is to re-register with username Gustav then add a redirect <code><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[User:Gustav]]</nowiki></code> to your old user page. -- [[User:Helen|Helen]] 17:59, 26 January 2006 (WST)
==It is no longer new, but always under construction==
I don't think this is new any more and unlike higher priced CMSs our documentation is constantly and instantly being improved (thus it is always under construction).   I think we need to change the words. I can only ramble in my attempts. Helen usually comes up with something compact and friendly.


::Thanks Helen. I have done that. My username looks more friendly now. --[[User:Gustav|Gustav]] 18:10, 26 January 2006 (WST)
We need to convey that we have changed our philosophy about documenting versions and encourage people to assist in the documentation.--[[User:chris collman|chris collman]] 00:05, 21 September 2011 (WST)


==Main page links==
==Links to documentation in other languages==
I'd strongly recommend adding the panel of links from [[About Moodle]] to the [[Main Page]] as well - they're incredibly important. I'm talking about the "Introduction | Background | Philosophy | License | Features | Release Notes | Future | Credits" links. --[[Dan]]


:Hi Dan, thanks for your recommendation. The main page content definitely needs a re-think. -- [[User:Helen|Helen]] 02:31, 27 January 2006 (WST)
Very good suggestion from Ralf H, noted here ready for when we focus on Main page improvements:


I would like to see a reference to the Moodle Community and the collaborative aspects of learning about both Moodle as a product and as a process. I am not sure where would be the best place to anchor that page. --[[mburnet]]
"Lots of people start looking on documentation at this page https://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Main_page. It would be fine if they find an information about the main pages in other languages in a block here."


==MoodleDocs logo==
--[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 23:54, 26 September 2011 (WST)
It was pretty nice a little time ago. Right now it is at the upper left place in the homepage, and in Explorer 6.0, at 1024x768 resolution, it gets off the screen at left and over the hompepage text at right. Same happens in Firefox. IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN YOU LOG IN, if you log out it looks fine. Can you fix it, please? [[User:Davidds|David Delgado]] 14:00, 7 February 2006 (GMT, London time)


:Hi David. MoodleDocs got a new skin. Now its looking quite similar to moodle.org. If you see weird pages please refresh your page. (CTRL+F5) Often this does not work. Please clear your cache then via "Delete Files" in the "Tools/Internet Options" dialogue. --[[User:UrsHunkler|UrsHunkler]] 22:56, 7 February 2006 (WST)
== 2.0 or 2.x ==


::Hi, Urs. Done all that, both in Explorer and in Firefox (clear cache, total reload, even restart browsers). Still does not work properly. Everything is beautiful until you log in with your username and password, then the upper orange line dissapears and the MoodleDocs logo fails, as I told you. Any ideas? [[User:Davidds|David Delgado]] 00:18, 8 February 2006 (WST)
I guess this doc was created for 2.1 and 2.2 and so on.
Or do you plan to start over for 2.1?
--[[User:Guido Hornig|Guido Hornig]] 22:00, 3 October 2011 (WST)


::: Hi, this is what I get when logged in...
:The plan is to copy this wiki to form the basis of the Moodle 2.1 documentation then copy the 2.1 wiki to form the basis of the 2.2 documentation. --[[User:Helen Foster|Helen Foster]] 22:11, 3 October 2011 (WST)

Later...rather that was what I saw when I previewed. On saving all is well (1024x768). [[User:Ray|Ray]] 00:30, 8 February 2006 (WST)
 
:::: Exactly the same result as me! I am happy that I am not alone in this problem. Mmmm... no saving helps me to get it working :-/ .[[User:Davidds|David Delgado]] 00:32, 8 February 2006 (WST)
 
:Second guess. Which skin is selected in your preferences? The new Moodle skin is called "MoodleDocs" and is the default one. Propably your settings still use the standard skin. Mediawiki basicly proposes one logo for every skin. You see the new one at the old place and that does not work. Please change the skin. --[[User:UrsHunkler|UrsHunkler]] 02:30, 8 February 2006 (WST)
::Bingo! You were right! MonoBook skin was selected, though I never chose that one. I had chosen Default one. Perhaps a mess with the new site. Anyway, now it works perfectly. Thank you so much! :-)
:::Mmmm... just one more little problem: the Toolbox gets over the GNU FDL license logo in the Main Page, and it cannot be seen properly. Could that be fixed easily? Hope so. [[User:Davidds|David Delgado]] 02:57, 8 February 2006 (WST)
:::Fixed. For MSIE the Footer area now starts beside the left column. This solution used in the MediaWiki standard skin MonoBook seams to be the best. Thank you very much for your helpful feedback David. --[[User:UrsHunkler|UrsHunkler]] 06:37, 8 February 2006 (WST)
::I think all users registred before was maked MoodleDocs skin have old skin as preffered in his options by default. May be will be good to update all user profiles in database to use new skin?--[[User:Nashev|Nashev]] 05:53, 9 February 2006 (WST)
 
I agree! I wondered why the moodledocs skin was looking so dodgy (as in the screenshot someone else submitted). Now it looks fine. --[[User:Dan|dan]] 18:46, 9 February 2006 (WST)
 
== Fantastic Stuff ==
 
Just wanted to pop in quickly and say a huge thankyou to Helen for this fatstic resource.
 
Your work here is looking fantastic. So much for adding yout time and expertise to this community. I know what it is like to juggle many hats. If you ever need a hand you need only ask :)
 
Looking orwrd to seeing this integrated into 1.6

== Add links to international versions (es,...) ==
 
Since https://docs.moodle.org is the main site for Moodle Documentation, there must be links to the different international versions, such as the Spanish one: https://docs.moodle.org/es . Maybe something simmilar to the Wikipedia home page: http://www.wikipedia.org . If not, just links to international versions in the main English page.

Link to "Site administration"?
