Moodle in English -> General developer forum -> Templates Status? -> Re: Templates Status?

I can wait for the step-by-step guide, but just in case there is a short answer (or a webpage you can point me to): How is translation to other languages going to work? I never managed to wrap my head around internationalization with Smarty.

Moodle in English -> Quiz and question banks -> Images in Quiz using a Mac -> Re: Images in Quiz using a Mac

از David Scotson در

This is a bit of a guess but if the students are using Internet Explorer 5.2 for Mac OS X get them to upgrade to/use Apple's own Safari browser. It's bundled with new Macs and can also be downloaded (for free) from http://www.apple.com/safari/

It has much better standard support and is less likely to give you surprises if the creator of the website is checking how it looks on Mozilla or Internet Explorer on a PC.

If they're still using Mac OS 9 then an operating system upgrade is highly recommended.

Moodle in English -> Quiz and question banks -> Scientific notation and different units for answers in quizzes

از David Scotson در
I'm trying to find out for a colleague how you can allow students to give answers of the form "3 x 10 to the power of -3" in numerical questions and (somewhat related) if it's possible for them to give the answers with appropriate units rather than just raw numbers.

Is anyone asking these types of questions with quizzes? Do you have any suggestions or advice on best practices?

Moodle in English -> General developer forum -> Change in Moodle's license -> Re: Change in Moodle's license

Timothy, you are slightly misinformed. All Red Hat products (enterprise and fedora) are licensed under the GPL.

See http://www.redhat.com/software/rhel/faq/#4

I'm not sure your point remains viable after accounting for that flaw in your analogy.

A more general comment is that the opposite of open source is proprietary. Open Source software can be, and often is, professional and commercial. Both Red Hat and our very own Moodle being perfect examples of how these (commonly thought) opposite concepts can coexist.

Likewise proprietary software can just as easily be amateur and non-commercial so it does professional and/or commercial open source developers a disservice to imply that they are necessarily amateurs and that they are producing code that is not commercially viable
