Hi!

Thank you for all your help.

Just wanted to ask where the "images" directory should be placed inside of the "MOODLE" directory.

Should it be,

/moodle/images/ ??

If this is correct, I got this message by placing it there,

Associated Image:  Unable to open ./images/

Cannot wait to see it work on my test site.

Hello!

I am very interested in this modification.  I attempted to follow the instructions but I code is displaying on the course edit page.  Also I did not know if there was some code which should be placed in the "courseimage.html" & "courseimagealt.html" files so I left their content blank.  I placed the steps I follow below with some indication of where I had inserted code in the significant files.  I attached an image of how the code is displaying on the corse edit page and how the two fields I added to the database look as well so you would have as mush information as possible.

I hope you can help me out with this.

--------------------------------------

STEP 1

Inserted two fields into the "mdl_course" table with the values indicated in the instructions.  Please see the lower part of the image below. 

STEP 2

Inserted code beginning at line 28 in the "course/edit.html".  The insrted code is in blue.

<tr valign=top>
 <td align="right"><P><?php  print_string("shortname") ?>:</td>
 <td><input type="text" name="shortname" maxlength="15"  size="10" value="<?php  p($form->shortname) ?>">
    <?php  helpbutton("courseshortname", get_string("shortname")) ?>
    <?php  if (isset($err["shortname"])) formerr($err["shortname"]); ?>
 </td>
</tr>

<tr valign=top>
  <td><P><?php  print_string("courseimage") ?>:</td>
  <td><input type="text" name="image" maxlength="100"  size="50" value="<?php  p($form->image) ?>">
 < ?php  helpbutton("courseimage", get_string("courseimage")) ?>
  </td>
 </tr>
 <tr valign=top>
  <td><P><?php  print_string("courseimagealt") ?>:</td>
  <td><input type="text" name="alternate" maxlength="100"  size="50" value="<?php  p($form->alternate) ?>">
  <?php  helpbutton("courseimagealt", get_string("courseimagealt")) ?>
  </td>
 </tr>

<tr valign=top>
 <td align="right"><P><?php  print_string("summary") ?>:</td>
 <td><?php
        print_textarea($usehtmleditor, 10, 50, 660, 200, "summary", $form->summary);
        helpbutton("text", get_string("helptext"));
        if (isset($err["summary"])) formerr($err["summary"]);
    ?>
 </td>
</tr>

STEP 3

Placed the following code at line  - 797 - in the "/lang/en/moodle.php" (My language is english).  The insrted code is in blue.

$string['todaylogs'] = 'Today's logs';
$string['courseimage'] = "Associated Image";  
$string['courseimage'] = "Alternate text";  
$string['toomanytoshow'] = 'There are too many users to show';

STEP 4

I changed line  - 1152 - in "/course/lib.php".  The insrted code is in blue.

if ($courses) {

foreach ($courses as $course) {

echo "<br><img src=\"$course->image\" alt=\"$course->alternate\" title=\"$course->alternate\"><br><br>";

$linkcss = $course->visible ? "" : " class=\"dimmed\" ";

$moddata[]="<a $linkcss title=\"$course->shortname\" ".

"href=\"$CFG->wwwroot/course/view.php?id=$course->id\">$course->fullname</a>";

$modicon[]=$icon;

}

$fulllist = "<p><a href=\"$CFG->wwwroot/course/index.php\">".get_string("fulllistofcourses")."</a>...";

} else {

$moddata = array();

$modicon = array();

$fulllist = get_string("nocoursesyet");

}

}

STEP 5

Created two files named  - "courseimage.html" & "courseimagealt.html" for Helpfiles  /lang/en/help.  However, I do not know what code should be used in these file if any.  Are they to be blank "html" files?
