Open book resource in new window

Open book resource in new window

by Mark Ravitz -
Number of replies: 1
My topic sections have gotten fairly lengthy, to the point where users get lost when they click on a book resource, read it, and then return to the topic. I'd like for the book resources to open in a separate window, instead of the topic window. I can't seem figure out a way to do that. I'm using moodle 1.9.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Mark

One way to do this would be as follows;

  • copy the book's url
  • create a "link to file or website" resource
  • use the book's url as the resource's link
  • open resource in a new window

If you want to then hide your books as otherwise you will have more than a fairly lengthy page;

  • go to your course settings and add a topic section
  • move all the books you have linked to into the new section
  • when all books have been moved, put the number of topics in the course settings back to what it was before you changed it

Hope that helps
