Hi Martin,

I've started a new discussion because your questions "how did you implement Stan´s css? Did you substitute the standard css on the hotpot module ? Did you upload the *.htm file instead of hotpot´s jxx? Has Gordon somehow integrated Stan´s CSS into the taskchain module?" don't relate to the other discussion.

I went to Stan's HotPotatoes Add-ons page and downloaded his css3_Facelift (391) v1.5. for HotPotatoes. It includes a helpful PDF. If you haven't modified source files before, you should first read:

• Hacking Hot Potatoes: A detailed workshop with ten examples
• How to edit the source files

The set of exercises around the video Working at your desk that you've seen on Gordon's site also include other modifications to the source files. These modifications are not really mine: Martin Holmes, Gordon Bateson and others have shown me how to to get the effects I want over the years. I'm willing to share - just say what interests you.

Yes, I uploaded the *.htm file. No, I don't think Gordon has integrated Stan's css_facelift code into TaskChain. These things are a question of taste and though at the moment most of us love rounded, shadowed corners, no doubt the flavour of the month will be something quite different in a couple of years' time. Gordon can't keep changing his code to follow fashion.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Steve,

Not sure what you mean by my "Moodle Taskchain" - could you post a URL?

As for the "look" that's all thanks to Stan Bogdanov  and his css3_Facelift (386) v1.5. for HotPotatoes. Just wonderful, ain't it?

He's got lots more fun stuff see:  http://www.ewbooks.info/hotpot/add-ons

Cheers,

Hi Steve,

While Gordon is sleeping over there in Japan, I can't really help except to say that my experience with Fantastico and similar has not been good because you're not in control of the latest versions of SQL, PHP and Apache. I'm just an English teacher and scared of those techie things too. Just wait until Gordon wakes up and he'll sort it all out as usual.

All the best,

Glenys

Hi there,

I'm a feeble copy of Mary Cooch, also a language teacher who's learnt a bit of HTML/XHTML5, a bit of JavaScript but who really relies heavily on those who really know their stuff like Martin Holmes, Gordon Bateson, Stan Bogdanov, Itamar Tzadok and a host of others. Like Mary, I do a lot of copying and pasting of other people's code. I try always to acknowledge it.

If I can do it, you can too.

Cheers,

Glenys

Hi Sonia (we usually use first names here)

Hope you enjoy using Moodle! Don't hesitate to ask here if you have any problems.
