Hi Martin,

I've started a new discussion because your questions "how did you implement Stan´s css? Did you substitute the standard css on the hotpot module ? Did you upload the *.htm file instead of hotpot´s jxx? Has Gordon somehow integrated Stan´s CSS into the taskchain module?" don't relate to the other discussion.

I went to Stan's HotPotatoes Add-ons page and downloaded his css3_Facelift (391) v1.5. for HotPotatoes. It includes a helpful PDF. If you haven't modified source files before, you should first read:

The set of exercises around the video Working at your desk that you've seen on Gordon's site also include other modifications to the source files. These modifications are not really mine: Martin Holmes, Gordon Bateson and others have shown me how to to get the effects I want over the years. I'm willing to share - just say what interests you.

Yes, I uploaded the *.htm file. No, I don't think Gordon has integrated Stan's css_facelift code into TaskChain. These things are a question of taste and though at the moment most of us love rounded, shadowed corners, no doubt the flavour of the month will be something quite different in a couple of years' time. Gordon can't keep changing his code to follow fashion.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Glenys, Martin, and all,

There are two ways to use my css3_Facelift in HotPot and Moodle:

1: generate the .htm file with the css3_Facelift locally on your computer and upload it to HotPot in Moodle the usual way.

2: log in through FTP to your moodle, find moodle/mod/hotpot/attempt/hp/6/templates/hp6.cs_ file and replace it with the css3_Facelift hp6.cs_ . This way, if you upload  say .jcl or any of the other source files, you'll also get the rounded corners and dropshades.

Thanks for the interest in the add-ons and the css3_Facelift.

BTW, there are also css3 facelifts for TextToys and Quandary.

Cheers

Stan
