No I know this is going to turn out to be me being stupid, but...
When we post anyhting to a forum *NO* email is sent to those subscribed (like happens on moodle.org). How do I switch this on?
BTW: Email works because the registration functions sends emails OK.
Thanks...

Moodle in English -> General help -> Moving items between topics -> Re: Moving items between topics
par Howard Miller,
Too subtle for me I'm afraid!!
I thought they just moved the item up and down in the section. You live and learn!
Thanks!!

One an item has been created (I use topic view, but this probably applies to weekly view as well), is it possible to move it to another topic?
I created a pile of quizzes and suchlike in the wron topic. Do I have to do it all again to move it to the right topic?
Thanks!

Moodle in English -> General developer forum -> Files area for students (for presentations, portfolios etc) -> Re: Files area for students (for presentations, portfolios etc)
par Howard Miller,
Yes.... I think this makes perfect sense.
However my problem lies in making the leap from the idea of a central file store to how it would actually function in practice. Are we talking about a student portfolio "module" that is (essentially) additional to what Moodle does already, or are we talking about a major rework of the system to sit it on top of a more complex/versatile file system?
My impetus comes from the idea of a student being able to download work-sheets (probably in Office format), fill it in, and then upload back up into the system to (a) keep and (b) for attention of their Tutor. Even better if such documents could also be uploaded into forum posts - but then, in that situation, it might be better if they where converted to HTML!!! Ok - I'll stop there!

Maybe another one for the developer forum...
Our big problem at the moment is how to allow non-technical users to edit course materials that will end up on line.
We took the decision *not* to simply put up Microsoft Word documents onto a site, however we always receive material in Word format. What we have tried is manually converting the Word document to a custom XML format, and then processing it using XSLT to HTML and XSL-FO to a PDF file for printing. This helps the technical people, but the original writers don't want to edit an XML file when the inevitable changes happen. Of course this route leads to thoughts about the IMS content specifications, which I have not investigated as yet.
I have been looking with much interest at TickiText http://www.mplode.com/tima/archives/000215.html, and am about to do a small trial using it.
I had a brash idea about porting TikiText to PHP and incorporating it in Moodle, but I'm not sure if there is any point (as one can just preformat using TikiText and then load the resulting HTML).
A bit of a ramble this... but does anybody out there have any thoughts or experiences in this area? It would be appreciated!
