Unusual display of matching question (lesson in Moodle 2.0.1)

Unusual display of matching question (lesson in Moodle 2.0.1)

Hi all,

Please excuse, if this has already been mentioned before. In a fresh installation of Moodle 2.0.1 (Build: 20101225), the display of the matching question moves the answer choices too much to the left. I used the Overlay theme without any tweaking, displayed in Firefox 3.6.13.

With kind regards,

Hartmut

Hi Hartmut,

This is not a theme issue, as the same happens with any other theme. I have identified the problem as coming from the .fitemtitle CSS format (width: 15%). I will try to come up with a solution ASAP, or will post a bug report.

Joseph

PS.- When you have a display problem, please always test with the Standard theme first.

I changed mine to 20% and padding-right 2.

I don't know if it'll make a mess of something else but it's the minimum required to separate answers and questions.

Brian,

Just to be on the safe side, I would recommend changing the fitemtitle class specifically for the lesson view page. You can do this by adding the following line to your moodle2/mod/lesson/styles.css file:

#page-mod-lesson-view .fitemtitle {text-align:left; width:50%;}

A width of 50% is reasonable, if you keep the text of the right pairs short enough (see #3 below).

Notes.-

  1. The display of the matching question in Quiz is better than in Lesson.
  2. A number of small fixes are needed for the Lesson module. Hopefully a new maintainer will be appointed by Moodle HQ, who will take care of the many bug reports which are pending.
  3. The problem with the matching question type, as well in Quiz as in Lesson is that it makes use of a dropdown list for the pairs to be matched on the right. When the text of those pairs is longish, the dropdown lists may take a large amount of horizontal space, which reduces the horizontal space available to the text of the left pairs. A better solution would be to adopt the "drag & drop" feature of the Hot Potatoes matching question type. But this feature has its own (vertical) problems.

I am having the opposite problem.  In any theme apart from standardold, the dropdown list is not even visible because it is too far to the right.  I am also having issues with images extending too far to the right.  This is with the quiz module.

Hi Emma,

You say "This is with the quiz module". But you posted to the Lesson forum.

I do not understand.

Sorry but this was the closest post that I found to my issue and you had mentioned the quiz module.  I thought it might be a related issue.

Mauno suggest me following Ans.
and it works

Hi Ravi,

in moodle 1.9.10 that css is hardcoded to lesson module files - the link you gave is discussing about moodle 2 lesson module layout and moodle 2 themes are using different code.

Anyway if I understood it correct you would like to have answers aligned to the left... or something like that...

You can edit file mod/lesson/view.php and find there

foreach ($answers as $answer) {
if ($answer->response != NULL) {
echo '';

Is this the recommended permanent fix for this problem or will a change be included in a new build?

Thank you.
