Ensure that Topcoll works with Moodle 2.0

Details

  • Difficulty:
    Moderate
  • Affected Branches:
    MOODLE_20_STABLE
  • Fixed Branches:
    MOODLE_20_STABLE

Description

When using the format with Moodle 2.0 the layout of the topics will not function due to improvements in supporting css and library functions. The topics in effect are not displayed and topic 0 is squashed.

This may change as Moodle 2.0 nears release, but the current ethos of the topic format's format.php is moving towards a non-table based format to layout the topics and therefore I summise that Topcoll will need to move forward with these improvements.

Initial version completed. Quite a bit of commented code in format.php. Use at own risk!

Currently, the topcoll will continue to use tables as a means of implementation as I have spent days attempting to get the functionality to operate correctly in all browsers with div's, ol's and li's etc., primarily Internet Explorer putting a spanner in the works. And tables however out of vogue with current web design theory they do solve the issue and act as a suitable layout mechanism within the containing 'div'. If anybody can give me some assistance with this, it would be appreciated.

Development now stopped and 'released' version in CVS. I will close this issue if not problems arise in the near future.

Fully working and compatible with Moodle 2.0. Implementation still uses controversial use of a ‘table’, however this is currently the only simple and reliable way to make the client side javascript operate in all web browsers including Internet Explorer. If other more modern methods were employed then there would be more ‘if IE do this else do this code’ adding to the performance and bandwidth unnecessarily.
