Timer position

Timer position

When I execute a quiz with a maximum time and in a secure window, timer that it carries out the count down is overlapped to the question that therefore cannot be read completely. Is it possible to resolve this problem?
Thank you for the answer.

In the Moodle/Theme/Standard/styles_layout.css file

find the code ... mine is on line 3808

#mod-quiz-attempt #timer {

position:absolute;

/#top:100px; is set by js*/

change the next line from left to right... should read...

right:10px }

this will change the timer from displaying on the left to displaying on the right.

Does this only occur when the timer is in a secure window?  I can't move the timer (I can't change the setting for everyone and am not sure it would help to move it to the right).  I'm having the same problem.

It worked for me.  I haven't tested in non secure window and secure window.  smile

Here's the fix we use. It leaves the timer on the left, but ensures that there is space for it next to the questions.

In your theme's stylesheet (moodle/theme/yourtheme/styles_layout.css), add the following:

/* allow a fixed space for the timer so it won't cover question text */
.que .content {
float: none;
margin-left: 155px;
width: auto;
}

/* adjust the timer width for IE */
#timer .generalbox {
padding: 0;
}

There are some other solutions in the bug report - http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-8547.
