Text editors

Some possible reasons why it works fine for my test site but not on your test site:

1) Both file course/format/weeks/format.php and file course/format/topics/format.php have two lines with that content (somewhere near line 105 or 111 and somewhere near line 234 or 237) - comment both of them... or you could also change those lines to

$summaryformatoptions->overflowdiv = false;

2) Check from your course settings which format your course is using.

3) When you add new images check that image plugin sets alignment to the right

Once clicked you should see the css that plugin produces - float:right

Attached an example from my test site - no absolute positioning, just two commented lines in format.php files and it worked both in weekly format and topic format.

4) If changes to php files do not seem to take effect the reason might be in server cache - you may have for example eaccelerator enabled in php.ini - if yes, try to set eaccelerator.enable = "0" to php.ini

Ok, it's possible that I've done this incorrectly so hopefully if that is the case someone can correct me.

I edited the moodle/course/format/topics/styles.css file and changed this:

.course-content ul.topics li.section .content {margin:0 40px;}

to this:

.course-content ul.topics li.section .content .no-overflow {margin:0 40px; overflow: visible;}

Does that look okay?

Dietmar,

it's a perfectly good idea - and if you use custom themes you don't need to edit core code. On the other hand if site has several themes all of them need the same css added to theme css files.

I tested plain

.course-content ul.topics li.section .content .no-overflow,
.course-content ul.weeks li.section .content .no-overflow {
overflow: visible;
}

and it did the same job as editing course formats.
