I've just been talking to a friend of mine in another school in the Midlands and he says that he has been told by a senior member of staff that all Year 7 (New Intake) must be taught using the VLE. Does anyone know what the requirements on usage are? We all must have one but do we need to use it, are there any government requirements or recommendations made by OfSted for instance?

I need to find some browser specific hacks: 1. IE 6 only 2. IE7 only 3. Firefox 2 4. Firefox 3 The reason for this is i need to insert a page break into a webpage which works for all of the above browser versions.

Its basically a website where an Administrator will set the Theme for the whole school, this admin will not have access to the web server where the site and styles are kept so i need some dynamic way of the admin being able to do this. This is the reason why a cookie would not do it, it doesnt need to be user specific it needs to be site specific.

I have 3 styles which could be applied to a web page, I want users to be able to change the style depending on which style they prefer and save the setting to a file (E.g. Not cookie based). User Selects Theme -> Selection written to file --> User visits the site again and the theme selected is displayed again Any help appreciated - Preferrably PHP based also possible to save setting in a database table or flat file.

Think ill be going with Tsohost, looks like a great price and its got it all! Cheers Psymon!

I would like to find a new webhost, needs to support multiple databases - mySql and also have SSH and FTP access and ideally hosted on Linux servers. Answers on a post card!

I hope your school has (regular) backups!

Simple question really, I have experience in web design and Im looking to make a little bit of cash on the side. Does anyone think creating a web design business is a viable option or does anyone else have any ideas? Supposse there always the p0r|/| site route.... Advice gladly recieved....

Can anyone tell me how to go about using the below code? Combile etc.... or atleast what language this is? sub PrintPage(sURL) Set oIE= CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application") Do While (oIE.Busy) Wscript.Sleep 250 Loop oIE.visible=true oIE.ToolBar = false oIE.StatusBar = false oIE.Resizable = false oIE.Navigate (sURL) Do While (oIE.Busy) Wscript.Sleep 250 Loop wscript.sleep 1000 'just so you can see the page sFilename=replace(sURL,"/","-") sFileName=replace(sURL,":","-") oShell.regwrite "HKCU\Software\PDFCreator\Program\AutoSaveFileName",sFileName Oie.ExecWB OLECMDID_PRINT, OLECMDEXECOPT_DONTPROMPTUSER, PRINT_WAITFORCOMPLETION,0 oIe.quit end sub Sub Initialise Set oReg = GetObject("winmgmts://./root/default:StdRegProv") sPath = "Software\PDFCreator\Program" lRC=oReg.SetDwordValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,sPath,"ShowAnimation",0) lRC=oReg.SetDwordValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,sPath,"UseAutoSave",1) lRC=oReg.SetDwordValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,sPath,"UseAutoSaveDirectory",1) lRC=oReg.SetStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,sPath,"AutoSaveDirectory","c:\temp") lRC=oReg.SetDwordValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,sPath,"AutoSaveStartStandardProgram",0) end sub

The EduMoodle Theme has now had some fixes applied to make it more compatible with IE and version 1.9 of Moodle. Specifically: Messaging window pop-up and contacts list. Files - Files pop-up screen when choosing or uploading a file. Tabs - IE css setup correctly now using meta.php which was originally pointing to the standard theme incorrectly. If you have already downloaded the original version of the theme you will need to download the latest zip file from: Here! Then replace it fully, or the individual files that require replacement are: config.php meta.php styles_layout.css

Yes they are rendered in a browser window, but dynamically... E.g the address for every page generated is http://localhost/report.cgi but the contents of each page is different depending on what users report is selected.

Hoping somebody can help me, I need to extract Pupil and Teacher information from next years timetable/dataset (08/09) but SIMS is currently working in (07/08) this academic year. Is it possible to set one workstation to work from next years data set without effecting other workstations? Im more of a CMIS person and i know it can be done in CMIS, is it possible in SIMS? Main problem is that i cant set an effective data when i run the report?

They seem to have the right idea, the main problem i see in implementing resources into Moodle is the inability to share that content across multiple courses/subject areas. Plugging in some kind of content manager to enable teacher to pull content from a central repository is a quick win for schools using Moodle. Moodlepilot also seems to claim that students/teacher will be able to pull information out of Moodle in to the repository. Could this be the e-portfolio for Moodle we've been waiting for? Obviously would be nice to see a demo of it in action before passing any kind of judgement.

The theme is now available for download here: EduMoodle or direct download here: Home: EduMoodle Theme Download (zip) or download the icon pack here: Home: EduMoodle Icon Pack (zip) Enjoy.... [Edit] The theme has now been added to the moodle.org theme database: http://moodle.org/mod/data/view.php?d=26&rid=1641 [/Edit]

All demo links on the orange navbar point to the demo course, instructions have been added to the login screen on how to gain access, e.g. Guest access.

Yeh the navbar just has example links but they should probably point to pages held inside Moodle rather than jumping to Joomla - Could be confusing. Im also going to be removing the curved boxes around the topics section in each course as 1. It doesn't render correctly and 2. Too much orange as Jona said. Glad people like it.....

Its finally here: EduMoodle Moodle Theme The EduGeek Moodle Theme, based on the Joomla Package from EduGeek.

Thanks guys!

I would need to be able to offer the theme for download, its a huge 1.2mb, and any traffic from Edugeek and the Moodle Themes page on Moodle.org. SYSMAN_MK did mention adding it as an EduGeek Project and hosting along side Joomla but its gone a bit quiet since EduGeek went down.

Here are my updated Icons for the EduGeek Moodle Theme, Does any body know of a cheap Moodle hosting solution, I basically just want to showcase my Theme so im not interested in many people using the site as everything will be guest access. I would obviously need to have access to the server via SSH or FTP to update the theme on a regular basis?

The problem i have is that the pages to be printed are dynamic. The system is basically a way of recording staff CPD, with a number of sheets attached. The system produces a HTML/CSS template report based on this data. I would like 'reviewers' to view the reports on screen but at a certain point in time teacher are not allowed to access the system and make changes, I lock the system at this point. But at the same time I need to output all the reports to PDF on the fly... So no files names or URLs just data output to a html page... Help please lol

Im looking for some kind of server based software which will automate the process of converting a HTML/CSS based web page to a PDF file. The problem i am finding is that many of the scripts - Perl, php etc do not support CSS very well E.g. Floats, inline style and tables Obviously I could improve/degrade my HTML and CSS but this is not an option. Does anyone have any idea how i might go about this? It needs to be an automated process which will allow a bulk job of documents created in HTML/CSS to be converted to PDF on the fly. ...

Essentially that's not a bad figure, especially for education. I know plenty of Techies who does this for free for there schools as they would get laughed out the room if they asked to be paid for it - so your in a strong position if they are prepared to pay you for it. If you went for something like Joomla and a nice theme, or even spent time developing your own that figure is about right. The CMS is going to allow you to update the site quickly and easily, stipulate that content/copy should be provided to you in order for it to be published on the website rather than you having to create it all. Obviously using Joomla certain sections of the site could be delegated to staff within the school? How much do you think is a reasonable amount? Contact some web design companies and ask them for a quote so you have an idea of how much they would charge? Web Design for Schools, Business, Charities - School Website Design UK - for an example?
