Hi there,

Like Joseph, I first went: "Grump, Grump, I want the drop down list of My courses back".

But in fact, it's just as easy to have a new page with more info on each course (and Language Teaching on the same level as the others ).  The new Full report of recent activity... is much more rationally and usefully organised. than the old Recent activity. (But why two clicks to get there: Recent activity now has no content except a link to Full report of recent activity... ???)

I haven't explored them fully, but I see they can be "filtered" too.

Of course, we all have our habits and different objectives too, but as far as mine are concerned, this is an improvement.  But that's just after 5 minutes - I may change my mind later.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Gordon,

Thanks so much for this. I confirm that the fix works on QuizPorts on Moodle 1.9.

I'll still have to do the "find & replace" and all my hundreds of exercises that are not in QuizPorts nor on Moodle 2. Also all my modified source files.

But now I have three clever solutions. If I've understood correctly:

1. Stewart Arniel suggests for old exercises to find and replace:
   if (this.geckoVer < 20020000){this.min = false;}
   by
   // if (this.geckoVer < 20020000){this.min = false;}
   And make the same change hp6browsercheck.js_ source file to create new exercises.
   
   
2. Joseph Rézeau suggests for old exercises to find and replace:
   if (this.geckoVer < 20020000){this.min = false;}
   by
   (nothing)
   And kindly provides a modified hp6browsercheck.js_ source file to create new exercises.
   
   
3. Gordon Baateson suggests for old exercises to find and replace:
   if (this.geckoVer < 20020000){this.min = false;}
   by
   if (this.geckoVer > 10000000 && this.geckoVer < 20020000){this.min = false;}
   And make the same changes in  hp6browsercheck.js_ source file to create new exercises.

How do I choose between them?

Hi everybody,

Clicking on an exercise in Firefox 17 will cause this irritating pop-up window to appear:

To understand the problem read this discussion in the Hot Potatoes Users group: User agent string in Firefox 17

A solution is given by Stewart Arniel, one of the developers, here: Re: User agent string in Firefox 17

Bonsoir,

Voir MDLSITE-2010 - il s'agit d'un problème de l'hébergeur.

Thanks Mary for pointing me in the right direction on Using Moodle.

Cheers,

Bonsoir tous,

Pour des raisons techniques que je ne comprends pas bien, mais qui sont expliquées ici : User agent string in Firefox 17, si on essaye d'ouvrir un exercice Hot Potatoes dans Firefox 17, cette fenêtre, très irritante, surgit :

On peut résoudre le problème avec un "chercher remplacer" comme Stewart Arneil, un des dévelopeurs, décrit ici : Re: User agent string in Firefox 17

Cheers,
