There's a new version of the module available on the Module page. Thanks to Przemek for the excellent suggestions. The dialogue screen is now tabbed. I've used same tab style as the Workshop module, it's the one "what I wrote". I slightly prefer it to the tab style used in the Gossary module, I'm a sucker for roll-over links
I have also added a Subject and there's an option to allow you to start many dialogues with the same person. I made that a teacher controlled option as it may be used malicously to
flame somebody. The default is only one dialogue with a person at any one time.
I haven't "paged" the screen. I'm not a big fan of paged screens, I much prefer to be shown anything on a single page, but that's probably me
The "close window?" bug reported in the previous tread has been fixed. What I was trying to do (and obviously failing
) was to close the "Using Smilies" popup window after adding a new entry. There's a Use emoticons link waiting to be shown when adding a dialogue entry. However, the problem is that the "Using Smilies" window is statically linked to a particular textarea. To get it properly linked to a different textarea requires a bit more than clicking on a new Use emoticons link. I found I had to close the old popup and start a new one for that to happen. Thus I was trying to close the popup using a little bit of
javascript. Unfortunately the wrong bit of javascript
. If someone can suggest the right bit of javascript to close the Smilies window I'd be most impressed.
Thanks again for the excellent suggestions, I think the interface is much improved as a result.
Oh, there are a couple of changes to the
database, so this version will require an admin login and a visit to the Admin page to get the tables updated.
