Hi Brian,
For security reasons it is strictly impossible (forbidden) to include PHP scripts in uploaded web pages. You can, however, use javascript.

Moodle in English -> Themes -> Yellow Text! -> Re: Yellow Text!

Alex > I changed the docstyles.php adding etc.
Oops! that docstyle.php file is a remnant of a really old Moodle version (1.4 I think) and it should really have disappeared altogether from current distributions. There is no way you can change your site's appearance by changing things in that file.
In one of your previous messages you wrote: "I've taken out every instance of #FFFFFF in the WHOLE sheet and still I see white in the background yet when I test my sheet "
Of course, white is the default background color in browsers! If you don't declare another color for your background, it will be white.
I've just looked at your site, http://www.cosmicoutpost.co.uk/moodle/login/index.php and the text is indeed yellow, but the background is white, which makes the text hardly legible. If you simply added this declaration to your theme's styles_color.css:
body {background-color:#000000}
it would look much better.
Hope that helps,
Joseph
Moodle in English -> General help -> Accessibility: default input text font suggested replacement
by Joseph Rézeau -
In the Windows environement-
The input field font is based on the default Windows MS Shel Dlg font. This is a kind of Arial font, which unfortunately is not very legible. In that font (as in Arial), uppercase i and lowercase l look exactly the same: Il; it is almost impossible to distinguish a comma from a full-stop, the single-quote character is hardly visible, etc.
In order to improve accessibility, I recommend including the following CSS rule in themes which promote accessibility:
input[type="text"] {
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:0.9em; // or any suitable size
}
This relies on the attribute selector, which is unfortunately not recognized by all browsers. This hack works in Firefox and in MSIE 7.
I have no idea what this would give in non-Windows environments.
I do like the Verdana font because it makes a clear distinction between uppercase i and lowercase l -> Ille & Vilaine (the French county where I live).

Moodle in English -> Quiz and question banks -> I Need Student send one gif image in a answer -> Re: I Need Student send one gif image in a answer

Hi Mario,
In the Essay question type, the student has access to the HTML editor to type his answer. He can then use the Insert Image button to insert an image. The only problem is that the student cannot attach a picture to his text, as he would if he were using e.g. the forum tool.
The student must first upload the image to a web site, and then give the address.
That is not very convenient, of course.
What about using assignment?

Moodle in English -> Themes -> Can't remove 'skip' feature from block headers -> Re: Can't remove 'skip' feature from block headers
by Joseph Rézeau -
1- all the blocks on the front page are pushed over slightly.
Don't know what you mean by "pushed over" in this context, sorry.
in file header.html remove the striked-out bit, that's what prints your site's name.
<h1 class="headermain"><?php echo $heading ?></h1>
It would help if one could have access at least to your site's home page without loggin in. If you can, you can give me temporary access so I can help you better.
