Hi Don,

> am I correct to assume it could be part of the standard Moodle release?
yes you are

> And now with my fund-raising hat on , if you do find that the these features allow you save costs to your clients, I hope you can build in a fee percentage that will go to moodle.org to pay for continued development.
This sounds like a promising deal . The needed changes become part of the standard Moodle release and I build in a fee percentage for moodle.org.

Best wishes

Hi,

in february we are presenting the Virtual CoachingCenter as an internet coaching and education environment in Kiel. We build it on Moodle (the design I have shown in another thread).

We are calculating the costs. My Moodle layout requires a more flexible CSS system. I created it by patching Moodle 1.4.x. With the result, that I have to apply all patches for every update. This is a cost factor. I was reckoning on Moodel 1.5 changing towards an actual flexible XHTML and CSS system making my interface design possible without patches.

Please, can anybody tell me, if the new CSS system is planed for Moodle 1.5 or not? Our environment would be more cost attractive if I don't have to include the costs for the patches.

Thank you very much for your - hopefully positive - answer

Hi,

That didn't work. I had to use "getElementsById()" and give the block content divs an id too. Now JS can address this node's display property directly.


@Chardelle: thanks a lot for your remark.
> when you put the mouse over your block titles (I tested it with IE) it shows only a text cursor rather than a link-type of mouseover (hand). To me this is not user-friendly--how are users going to know that they can click on the title to "open" the block without this common link GUI.

yep, I saw this strange behaviour of IE, but I was too buzy to look into it. I changed it by the link's CSS cursor property.

This is the new one.

Hi David,

as you say it doesn't make much sense to take it over to Moodle identically. I liked the interface and I am shure it is useful for small and fast changes. Used as a filter to show up some basic adjustments and to hide the complex CSS file/s in the background I see a chance to get rid off the need to use php within the CSS file/s.

By the way David, did you get the e-mail I sent you privately? I didn't hear from you and I wonder, if you got it. Could you please be so kind to give me a hint? Thank you very much.

Hi,

recently I started working with the CMS Textpattern. It offers an integrated CSS webform. This could be the Moodle way too to go for easy CSS editing, couldn't it?

You can click on the image to see a bigger one in a new tab/window.
