ddmarker Quiz and the Essentials Theme: HELP!

Hello again. Thanks for solving the ddmarker background issue. But now, I have a bigger problem.

The Essential theme scalable background allows ddmarkers placed on an image during both the building process and the quiz operation to migrate to other screen areas depending on window scaling.

I have included two examples from the same Quiz to illustrate. This produces wrong answers even with right placement if the Quiz use window scaling does not correspond with Quiz building window scaling.

It seems if this is true, the issue has huge potential for undermining the viability of this Quiz method.

Have others seen a similar problem or are there reasonable solutions (I can see making placement calculations adjusting for window size and scaling -- something I have done in Adobe Director, but would have no idea how to achieve that in html, php, or css)?

Regards,

Rod

... or undermining the viability of the Essential theme.眨眼

Would not argue with that, in the short run. However, it seems the die is cast for themes operating under bootstrap technology. Would hate for these question formats to become the next AOL.

Rodney and Joseph,

This is not just an issue in the Essential theme but also in Clean and Bootstrap Base.  There is a similar issue with ddimageortext.  I have just replicated it on my site.

Hopefully Tim or Jamie has some ideas.

Joshua,

Yes. I agree. You will see my reference to bootstrap in my response to Joseph. I don't consider it a joking matter. I consider this an extremely important issue in regards to which theme and what quiz options I can use. I guess I don't think I should be forced to chose between them.

I know solutions to these issues can exist. I have developed several using lingo for Director. Unfortunately, that is long way from web-based languages, such as html, php, and css.

Not much I can do to solve the issue, but I am very happy to assist in whatever way I can.

Rod

@Rodney,

I am not considering this a joking matter either. All I meant is that in these matters it's always difficult to know where to lay the blame. I have started testing the bootstrap-based themes on my local moodle 2.5 site and have found a few glitches here and there. I think those bootstrap-based themes are not mature enough to be used on production sites yet.

Have you reported the problem on the themes forum, in a bootstrap discussion?

Joseph,

I reported the problem in the Moodle Tracker for the Essential Theme as that is where I encountered the problem. I will go there right now and comment.

BTW I agree with your basic statement. And, actually, your comment was both amusing and perceptive in that it highlighted the importance of viewer relativity in issues like these.

Regards,

Rod

Thanks for reporting this Rodney. Here is the link to the issue for anyone else's reference : CONTRIB-4557

I think this should be easy enough to fix. I will try to have a look sometime in the next week.

Hi Jamie,

I sent you a Director Lingo script I thought might be helpful for this issue. However the one I sent was for "Window Scale." In reviewing it, I think "Window Stretch" would be the more appropriate script. If you think the Lingo Scripts might be helpful to you, let me know and I will forward the other one too.

Thanks,

Rod

I've posted a comment with what I believe is the fix.

Anyone who's seeing this bug could test the fix by adding a line of CSS to their theme's CSS box.

First you need to find a classname for the large img then set "max-width: none" on it.

I'll install the plugin and check this out myself when I get a moment but if anyone wants to help then that would be appreciated.
