Hi,
I am newbee in moodle and I need to modify some code as per my requirement.
There are 4 options in launch container in external tools:
Default
Embed
Embed without block
New window
I wish to use "Embed without block" but it should open in new window not in same window. For doing this what I need to do means where and how I add "_blank" in "Embed without block"???
Please help me asap, its bit urgent.
Thanks in advance
Hey Aditya, You can see some detail regarding "open behavior" in "mod/lti/lib.php" (about lin 215)
---------------
if ($launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_WINDOW) {
$launchurl = new moodle_url('/mod/lti/launch.php', array('id' => $coursemodule->id));
$info->onclick = "window.open('" . $launchurl->out(false) . "', 'lti'); return false;";
}
---------------
I'm working on that now, but if you take a look to generated html (when a course list is rendered), you can found that "view.php" is used instead "launch.php" to load in current page without block.
So, in a primary test, I commented the "if" block and used "view.php" like that:
--------------------
// if ($launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_WINDOW) {
// $launchurl = new moodle_url('/mod/lti/launch.php', array('id' => $coursemodule->id));
// $info->onclick = "window.open('" . $launchurl->out(false) . "', 'lti'); return false;";
// }
$launchurl = new moodle_url('/mod/lti/view.php', array('id' => $coursemodule->id));
$info->onclick = "window.open('" . $launchurl->out(false) . "', 'lti'); return false;";
--------------------
NOTE: This update, loads all external tool content in a new window (but just if external tool "Launch Container" has "Embed" or "Embed without Blocks" selected).
Maybe this can help you to start seeing more deep in the source.
If I have other news I'll comment here.

Hi Debo,
Thanks I try this today
Hi Debo,
After your suggestion I try to working on view.php or lti.
in Launch container window I found this:
if ( $launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_WINDOW ) {
echo "<script language=\"javascript\">//<![CDATA[\n";
echo "window.open('launch.php?id=".$cm->id."','lti');";
echo "//]]\n";
echo "</script>\n";
echo "<p>".get_string("basiclti_in_new_window", "lti")."</p>\n";
I am not technical person so I wish to know how we can do the same echo with
if ($launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_EMBED_NO_BLOCKS) {
If we can then we are able to open "Embed" and "Embed no block" both in new window without disturbing long core code of module.
Hi Aditya,
Sorry by delay. After I've tried on my Moodle installation, you can follow these steps:
1) add define const (mod/lit/locallib.php - lin 64)
define('LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_WINDOW_NO_BLOCKS', 6);
2) add windows-no-blocks to $launchoptions array with correspond text string (mod/lti/mod_form.php - lin 122)
$launchoptions[LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_WINDOW_NO_BLOCKS] = "New window without blocks";
3) add code behavior to open view.php (moodle window without blocks - mod/lti/view.php - lin 125)
}elseif( $launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_WINDOW_NO_BLOCKS && (!isset($_GET['loadok']) || (isset($_GET['loadok']) && $_GET['loadok'] != "ok"))){
echo "<script language=\"javascript\">//<![CDATA[\n";
echo "window.open('view.php?id=".$cm->id."&loadok=ok','lti');";
echo "//]]\n";
echo "</script>\n";
echo "<p>New window without blocks</p>\n";
4) update load popup behavior to remove blocks (mod/lti/view.php - lin 84), and change
from this:
if ($launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_EMBED_NO_BLOCKS) {
to this:
if ($launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_EMBED_NO_BLOCKS || ($launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_WINDOW_NO_BLOCKS && (isset($_GET['loadok']) && $_GET['loadok'] == "ok")) ) {
5) add load popup behavior (mod/lti/lib.php lin 219)
}else if ($launchcontainer == LTI_LAUNCH_CONTAINER_WINDOW_NO_BLOCKS) {
$launchurl = new moodle_url('/mod/lti/view.php', array('id' => $coursemodule->id));
$info->onclick = "window.open('" . $launchurl->out(false) . "', 'lti'); return false;";
I think it can work, please let me know anything
Kind regards
DS
