Moodle

i am missing "file choose" button/icon on the popup window of the (new) file manager.
when added "link to file or website" resource.

is this the place to report it ? (is it not implemented yet ?)

There is no need to report anything , the work was not even started

Added UI Mockup: <Folder modedit>

Added UI Mockup: <Folder view>

Added UI Mockup: <Folder edit files>

Added UI Mockup: <Page modedit>

Added UI Mockup: <File modedit>

Added UI Mockup: <Resource modedit>

Added UI Mockup: <URL modedit>

Added UI Mockup: <IMS modedit>

I've just been playing with the latest version, Petr. Looks pretty smart!

Here are some minor GUI/English things that I thought as I went through.

• "File folder" should just be "Folder" in English I think.

• In "Page" plugin:

• Display ... What does Open mean? Should it possibly just be "normal" ?
• "Print heading" should be "Display page name"
• "Print description" should be "Display page description".

• "Resource file" is so much like "Folder" ... it's a bit annoying. sigh.

• We could possibly make it clearer that we are adding "supporting files" like images etc.
• We do really have to come up with a nice way to manage the files (I know you know)
• Why do we have a filters option here and not on Page?
• Does popup height/width also control embedding size? It should (and thus needs rename). Also need "max" in the menu as an option for 100%.
• Same wording issues as Page.

• "URL"

• I don't think we need to make a URL picker in Moodle 2.0
• Same wording issues as Page.
• I tried to embed a web page and it told me to click a link instead.
• Frame worked, but we need some admin setting to disable frames (admin policy).

That's all for now!

Folder:

• File folder - renamed to Folder

Page:

• by default only "normal" options is available which removes it completely from modedit - I agree we need better name, normal here means it open like all other modules
• print xxx renamed in all mods

Folder x Resource file:

• Folder may have different features like image slideshow and preview, it may list file details
• Resource has special display options

Resource file:

• filtering option is for uploaded files, not texts - we only had one global annoying switch until now
• the popup width/height only control popups - it is removed if popup not allowed, and is disabled for all other display options
• if somebody wants to embed something I would expect they would use Page instead, the resource always tries to display it as big as possible

URL:

• you can not embed external URLs, sorry IE trouble - we would have to resort to iframes(not allowed in strict); going to add explicit warning there.
• I found a bug in mimetype detection code that was breaking the embedding if url ended with /
• yes, available options are fully configurable

There was a question why not all display types are not available in all resource or other modules in general:

1/ RESOURCELIB_DISPLAY_EMBED - files and URLs, embedding may be very problematic especially in IE; ideally only file types that are known to work should be used (images and partially PDF), please note that IE supports embedding only from the same domain (MDL-14609)

2/ RESOURCELIB_DISPLAY_FRAME - not accessible but works 100%

3/ RESOURCELIB_DISPLAY_NEW - recommended for links to external sites, can be used for links to general files too; the main reason is we do not want out users to loose navigation elements (the only option they have is to close the browser); most other uses are not recommended for accessibility reasons; I think this should be supported in all modules and activities or only in Resource file+URL

4/ RESOURCELIB_DISPLAY_DOWNLOAD - for locally stored files only, suitable for distribution of binary files; predates Portfolio - all others use cases should be handled by portfolio export code

5/ RESOURCELIB_DISPLAY_OPEN - normal opening

6/ RESOURCELIB_DISPLAY_POPUP - accessibility problems, I would prefer JS overlays with Ajax instead; implemented for BC reasons only

7/ RESOURCELIB_DISPLAY_AUTO - this just tries to guess what is usable and accessible for given file, URL, etc.

I have tried to rename "Resource file" to just "File" - looks better imho.

reopening, going to clean up the lang pack and some libs issues...
