Bonjour Pierre,
Il y a un malentendu sur la fonction du bloc "Activité récente": ce bloc indique simplement les actions qui ont été effectuées récemment par l'enseignant: ajouter une ressource dans un cours, une entrée de glossaire, etc.
Ce bloc ne sert en aucun cas à effectuer les opérations d'ajout ou de suppression elles-même: ces opérations s'effectuent dans la colonne centrale "Aperçu des thèmes", au moyen des listes déroulantes intitulées "ajouter une ressource" et "ajouter une activité".
Pour en revenir à ta question, si des ressources ne figurent pas dans le cadre "Aperçu des thèmes" c'est tout simplement qu'elles n'y sont pas...

Moodle in English -> General help -> td right side tooltips not showing in MS Internet Explorer

by Joseph Rézeau -
Picture of Core developers Picture of Plugin developers Picture of Testers Picture of Translators
Hello,
moode version: 1.5.2
When the main page of a Moodle course is set to either Weekly format or Topics format, on the right side of the central column is displayed for each week/topic a set of tools:
  • Show only topic 1
  • Highlight this topic as the current topic
  • Hide this topic from students
  • Move up
  • Move down

Each icon is associated with a <title> tag containing one of the above text strings, to be displayed as a tooltip upon mouse over...

I've just noticed that the tootip is indeed displayed in Firefox but not displayed in Internet Explorer (6.0)evil, although all the other tooltips are displayed in MSIE. I've looked at the underlying script, it is just an <a> anchor with a <title> inside, so I don't understand why it should not be displayed.

I've tried several themes to ascertain that the problem is not theme-related. Can anyone confirm the problem before I post a bug report?

Thanks

Joseph

Hi Ian,

Great-looking site! and interesting resources too...

Ever since I started to work with CSS and - more recently - to customize our university Moolde, I've been especially irritated by the inconsistent ways in which various browsers, versions & computer platforms render font size. As you say, the very same HTML page can be anything from illegibly tiny to oversize depending on the end-user's environment.

Since our corporate environment meant MSIE on Windows 2000 (now XP) I first developed for that browser exclusively. More recently, concurrently with our adopting of Moodle, in fact, we are also using more & more Firefox (very few Macs around, however).

My personal history of CSS coding for font-size is as follows:

  1. I used fixed sizes, i.e. pixels to get a consistent display
    problem: pixel-coded fonts are resizable by the end-user in Mozilla browsers but not in MSIE (OK, it's a well-known bug, but...)
  2. I used relative sizes: % and ems to solve MSIE's resizing pb.
    problem: heritage means that fonts within classes within classes are automatically sized down (see http://www.maxdesign.com.au/presentation/relative/)
  3. I am now using a combination of absolute-size keywords (small, etc.) , % and ems. This combination gives satisfying results on the 2 browsers I can test, MSIE 6.0 and Firefox 1.0 on Windows XP.
The advantages of solution #3 are as follow:
  1. by setting font-size:small as the starting-point, e.g. in the body class, my HTML pages are displayed exactly the same in both browsers, provided that MSIE is set at View/Text Size/Medium or Firefox is set at View/Text Size/Normal (or 100%).
    problem: I have wondered for a long time why what was "medium" to MSIE was in fact larger than what was "normal" (or 100%) to Mozilla. I have found the solution (when using absolute-size keywords): in order for HTML pages to display at the same size in both browsers, you must have this doctype declaration at the top of your HTML page: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3c.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
  2. because of the problem mentioned above, many MSIE users (including myself) set by default their browser at view/text-size/smaller because otherwise many visited sites are displayed at what we consider to be an oversize size; well, those visitors won't see a very big difference for HTML pages coded the way I have chosen, whether their text-size is set at normal or smaller (i.e. it will still be legible at the smaller size)
  3. the annoying inheritance problem above has disappeared...

I am now planning to work on a Moodle theme based on my combination of absolute-size keywords (small, etc.) , % and ems. And I need fellow-moodlers' help.

a) could you please go have a look at my personal site http://rezeau.org which is uses a "mixed absolute & relative" stylesheet, resize the text-size view (within reason) in various browsers and tell me of any problems... I'm afraid it's in French...

b) regarding my planned Moodle theme, I'll have to place the <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional etc. doctype declaration in the header.html file. I have already tested it without any apparent problem. Do you think this might lead to problems?

Looking forward to your remarks,

Joseph

Eric,
Effectivement le bug était bien présent dans le fichier original fw_color.css du thème formal_white. On y trouve la ligne:
.sideblock .post .head {
color:#FEF9F6;
}
or, la couleur #FEF9F6 est une sorte de rose très pâle, presque du blanc, ce qui rend évidement le texte de l'auteur et de la date du message totalement illisible sur fond blanc.
Par ailleurs, le thème formal_white de la version 1.5.2 s'affiche très bizarrement chez moi sur Firefox (il fonctionne dans MSIE).
si tu as fabriqué ton thème perso. sur le modèle de ce formal_white, tu peux donc rechercher cette ligne et modifier la couleur, ce sera plus simple que le truc que j'ai donné dans mon message précédent.

Bon courage

Joseph

Bonjour.
Tu utilises bien Moodle 1.5.2 ?
A priori je ne constate pas le problème que tu mentionnes. Mais pour comprendre il faudrait plus d'information. Est-ce que ce problème apparait uniquement dans un "thème visuel" personnel? Ce thème est-il basé sur le thème standard de Moodle 1.5.2, ou est-il complètement indépendant?
Dans le thème standard de Moodle, les divisions .sideblock .post .head .name et .sideblock .post .head .date n'ont pas de style de couleur particulier. Si ton thème perso. n'a pas modifié le style de ces divisions, il ne devrait pas y avoir de problème.
A titre d'expérimentationi, si tu rajoute le code suivant dans le fichier styles_color.css de ton thème (tout à la fin), tu verras apparaitre sur ton site le texte des divisions date et name en rouge (couleur que tu peux modifier à loisir)...

.sideblock .post .head .name,.sideblock .post .head .date {
color:red;
}
