Heres a good forum post for you to look at: http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=116398

Its been download over 1000 times in the last month!! To change just the background try this: Edit edumoodle.css Line: 4 background: #fff; (Set your background colour here) And set Line: 11 background: #fff; (Set the colour same as line 4) Basically its the 'body' and '#page' that have the background colour setting. Edumoodle.css overides any of the other css files included in the theme.

Do they not allow for FTP upload? Or can you send them to Uniservity and get them to upload it in the background?

Pay as you go mobile phones - the Orange shop Sony Ericsson J132 - Pay as you go - The Carphone Warehouse

So you would need to allow staff to be able to create courses themselves rather than having the courses pre-defined for them. Supposse that keeps course numbers down lol

Does the current CLEO MIS Tool for Moodle import the Staff as well as the Pupil accounts?

Ok, I've tried them all! I've decided that a Wiki is the best solution, took a while to convince me, but i've gone with TikiWiki (latest version). The reason, I like it - the 'slashdot' type install which makes the articles feature on the main page and I prefer the layout it produces. Kind of a compromise between a blog and a wiki/forum.

Your correct it is an internal reference point, Im currently looking at using: Vanilla - Free, Open-Source Forum Software I like it a lot, I just like the simplicity of it all. I havent really ever got on all that well with Wikis' but hey everyone else seems to rave about it!

Yes its hosted by UserVoice but created by: Code in the hole - David Winterbottom I've found: Chyrp I like it a lot and will be playing over the next few days to try and create what i need!

I've built up quite a bit of knowledge on Moodle, linux and apache all related to our Moodle enviroment - Mainly admin tasks which are specific to our set-up I want to document this knowledge in a clear and concise way so that anyone can quickly search through for the solution. Im not sure a wiki is the best way to do this, as I want to create a unique page for each little snippet of code I may have. A Wiki feels like overkill to me? I really (really) like this site, Command-line Fu < The best UNIX commands on the web It will only ever be myself who will be submitting the code so it doesn't need to allow people to sign up and add to the database just read from it. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking maybe of a twitter clone script of some kind, I've looked at a DIGG clone (PHPDugg) but it wants each new story to have a URL which in my case isnt the case and I dont have the knowledge to adapt the code. If anyone has seen anything like commandlinefu Id love to see it. Help please....Keeping all this info in my inbox isnt helping anyone.

Your correct, just couldn't see further than the end of my nose for a moment or to!

Is it possible to use UPDATE and set the WHERE to only UPDATE where the value = ANYNUMBER? For Example: UPDATE user_accounts set password_reset = 1 where user_ID = NumericValue?

Sorry I understand now, the groups get created but arent assigned to the course until its created?

I work with a number of systems and come across bits and pieces on t'internet, I some how want to store this kind of information. E.g. Mysql Join to find the course ID and Fullname to which student=2 is assigned to: SELECT CourseDetails.* FROM CourseAssignment LEFT JOIN CourseDetails ON CourseAssignment.CourseID=CourseDetails.CourseID WHERE CourseAssignment.StudentID=2; So i need to catergorise the information, add a description and make is searchable so i could search for 'SELECT CourseDetails'. Ideally it would be a blogging system, however I may think about creating my own system in PHP (Project to learn PHP).

So then the teacher picks the class that should be assigned to there class?

so it only assigns the teacher to the class not the pupils?

intresting idea, ahould keep the bandwidth requirements down but i suspect it might be a bit tricky.

The messaging system will generate an email message when the recipient isn't on-line. When the two users are on-line they can use the messaging system like an IM. However the messaging system is quite basic.

This script seems to work well, been using it for a while. http://edumoodle.veloxserv.co.uk/moodle/file.php/1/messagelog.php I cant take the credit for this, http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=27559 Quite cool, lets you search and filter based on days past, username, from, to, oldest viewed, oldest unviewed etc.... There plenty of room to make this script do a lot more. For installation I usually drop it in the Admin folder on my Moodle server, then just directly type the link.

When ever you use software like DW they have there own way of doing particular things and aren't really standards compliant. (Not that everything you do will be as not all browsers are standards compliant lol) It just makes it a bit harder to learn thats all.

I dont know much about cars but what I tend to do is search through 'owner club forums' and just generally nose about and post some questions. Heres one: Toyota Owners Club - Toyota Forum -> Aygo Club And Another: Peugeot 107 Owners Club - 107oc.com - Index You usally get some good opinions on there and many of the members are very helpful. I recently purchased a brand new Renualt Twingo GT and asked all my questions on owners forums before buying (Especially as this was a new car to the UK), I was even able to contact a local member who let me have a look at his twingo and take it on a proper test drive. Always remember to kick the tyres lol

Wohoo, thanks for the advice and the query details....Success!

I think I need a 'JOIN' but cant get it working, probably because I cant get my head round things.... Table1 - User details +------------+ | ID | Name | +------------+ | 2 | Dan | -------------- Table2 - Course Assignment +----------------+ | ID | CourseID | +----------------+ | 2 | 100 | | 2 | 104 | ------------------ Table3 - CourseDetails +----------------------------+ | ID | CourseID | +----------------------------+ | 2 | Year 10 Science | | 2 | Year 10 Maths | ------------------------------ I want to select the user and find out which courses they are assigned to and finally output the name of the courses they are part of based on there assignment. Select user courses from Table1, Table2, Table3, Help appreciated!

Very simple php script: $result = mysql_query("SELECT id, fullname FROM mdl_course"); while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { echo $row['id'] . " " . $row['fullname']; echo " "; } ?> But I want to change it so that I can write 'id' and 'fullname' into Something like: $row['fullname'] Can anyone help?
