Description

When adding a 'Link to file or web site', via the 'Add a resource...' menu, there is a choice to have the web page open in the same or new window. When 'Same window' is chosen, it is also possible to check a box that says 'Keep page navigation visible on the same page'.

This works as expected with just one web page, however, when a number of resources are added in succession with the same settings (Open in same window & Keep page navigation visible on the same page), the following problem occurs:

When one of these resources is clicked on it opens as expected with the navigation visible at the top and the web page visible at the bottom. However, when a user clicks on the 'Previous activity' or 'Next activity' button at the top right of the navigation, the resource opens the correct navigation page but the web page opens in a new frame at he top of the page just below the navigation frame, not in the frame in which the previous web page appeared. Clicking on the Previous or Next buttons, opens ever more frames as can be seen in the attached screen shot. The same problem occurs when the 'Jump to...' menu is used to navigate to another resource.

This bug did not exist in 1.6.2.

What kind of files are you linking to? They are supposed to be inside object tags for most things ...

I am linking to regular external HTML pages i.e. external web pages.

I want these pages to appear below the Moodle navigation page. As explained above, when clicking on one of these resources, the external page appears as expected. The problem shown in the above screenshot occurs when clicking on the 'Previous activity' or 'Next activity' buttons at the top right of the navigation section.

Can you make sure you have the very latest version of Moodle 1.8?

I can't duplicate the problem on 1.8 or 1.9 ... those buttons are specifically setting the target so that they "pop out" of the upper frame.

I'm guessing this was already fixed sometime after your version.

Please re-open if a later version doesn't fix your site.

I am now using a very recent version of Moodle; downloaded 24th Sept 07, and this problem no longer occurs.

However, there is still a similar problem (frames not appearing as expected) with the Workshop module. Please see MDL-9949.

Thank you.
