Discussions

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? --Gustav Delius 09:41, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Thanks for your comments. Please note that Martin Dougiamas 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 #REDIRECT [[User:Gustav]] to your old user page. -- Helen Foster 17:59, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Thanks Helen. I have done that. My username looks more friendly now. --Gustav Delius 18:10, 26 January 2006 (WST)

Main page links

Hi Dan, thanks for your recommendation. The main page content definitely needs a re-think. -- Helen Foster 02:31, 27 January 2006 (WST)

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

MoodleDocs logo

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? 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. --Urs Hunkler 22:56, 7 February 2006 (WST)

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?

Hi, this is what I get when logged in...

Later...rather that was what I saw when I previewed. On saving all is well (1024x768). Ray Lawrence 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 :-/ .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. --Urs Hunkler 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. 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. --Urs Hunkler 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?--Nenashev Ilya 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. --Dan Stowell 18:46, 9 February 2006 (WST)

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.
