How can I have a list of courses with descriptions (including pictures) instead of simple list on the front page?
Regards,
Greg
Hi Greg, we meet again 
Do you mean something like this?
- Don't create course categories, use the "Miscellaneous" category to hold all of your courses
- Select "show a list of courses" as your front page format
- Don't exceed the COURSE_MAX_SUMMARIES_PER_PAGE (defined in course/lib.php) value. If you do exceed it, just increase the value.
Hi
I would like to do this but when I try to move one of my courses I get
An error occurred - course not moved!
I can move it to other categories.
Hmmm. Any ideas?

Hmmm, don't know 
Maybe try with debugging on - this should display more error reports, hopefully letting you nail down the reasons.

I tried that but the message is still the same - no more information. I am on a hosted account so I don't think I will have access to the apache logs - at least I can't find them ;-(

This was a passing bug sometime in 1.4.3+ ... try upgrading to a later version.
Ah! thanks Martin.
I'll have to live with it then as I am just about to go live with my courses after pilot testing.
Thanks to both of you for the help/suggestions though
Best wishes
John
If that's the case, shuffle the categories around a bit and try again. At any rate, I'd recommend you move to a newer 1.4.3+
Dear Przemysław,
As I see you we are in the same boat or rather you are in the boat that I want to get in.
Of course i found the idea of the description of courses on the frontpage on your websites but I didn't dare to ask you directly.
The field of e-learning appealed to me so much that I chose the subject of my Masters Thesis "psychology of e-learning".
I am glad that you answered my question. I hope we will stay in touch and thank you for your nice sense of humor
With regards,
Greg

I don't suppose you would like to email a copy of your thesis - I would be most interested.

Thank you very much. I would like to contribute to this community by publishing my thesis. Unfortunately it will primarily be in Polis much as I would like it to be it in English. Maybe I will manage to write it in both languages. Then I would be glad to discuss with you the means of making it available

i found the idea (...) on your websites
I'm almost beggining to feel like I'm being spied on 
the subject of my Masters Thesis "psychology of e-learning"
Funny coincidence! A week ago I was asked to prepare a presentation on "psychology of e-learning" for an upcoming e-learning conference.
I hope we will stay in touch
Sure

It've really very hard not to run across you as you've taken all interesting Polish domains for e-learning ;)
That's great. I hope that we could exchange some materials on psychology of e-learning
Hi Stencel,
Your web design (http://english-online.pl/login/index.php)is beautiful! How modify moodle's facies?
Hi Kaobin,
I think you might mean modifying the Theme--the colors and look of the site? Try the Themes forum.
By the way Prz--where do you get your images--they look so nice.
I get them from http://istockphoto.com/ - it's probably the cheapest royalty-free stock photo site around, just $1 (until recently it was 0.5$) per low-res image (enough for web sites or PowerPoint presentations). http://photos.com or http://hemera.com might turn out cheaper if you need a lot of images.
Dear Przemyslaw
I love istock too (and upload! for $3.6) but please see
