Hi there,

There really isn't a standard Joomdle theme. Your theme / template belongs to Joomla and Joomdle sits within that. Of course there are specific css files for some of the Joomdle modules and pages but that still follows your template theme.

As for module placement in Joomdle, again you publish the modules to the Joomla pages like any other extension. The only exception is that some modules are particular to some of the joomdle pages.

The first thing to do, IMO, would be to decide on which LMS. Basically you have 4 choices:
- Moodle
- Joomla LMS
- Another Joomla LMS such as Guru
- Just Joomla documents / pages with appropriate security

You will need to consider:
what functionality you need for your LMS from a student, teacher and course perspective. Moodle being the most functional, widely used, but at the same time has a learning curve greater than the others.
how structured your courses need to be eg. objectives, learning paths,quizzes.
how is your content developed and displayed eg. pages, flash, html 5, interactive, SCORM compliance.
if you have any tracking / monitoring / reporting requirements
how you want your teachers and students to interact

Personally, I would just load up the basic software and have a quick place. Don't bother to integrate anything, what's most important is how your students will engage with the courseware. Thus the reason we tried to simplify the moodle interface by using Joomdle for Joomla.

If you choose Moodle, you may wish to consider using Joomdle for integration to Joomla. If you do not choose Moodle, then you would have no reason for Joomdle.

Joomdle is not an LMS but rather integrates the worlds most used CMS (Joomla) with the worlds most used LMS (Moodle).

Live conference is a joomla component, I would ask what level of integration are you expecting. It will share the user names, etc. But what more do you expect since it is a joomla component. If you are using Moodle, then you probably want to look at blue button. That said, again it depends on what you are trying to do. For example, it would be very "easy" to have a moodle course with a link to a live conference page.

What you need to consider is what features you need and how you want them to be used in a course if at all.

Note: If you are not using Moodle, than there is no need for Joomdle.

mmm Yes I guess it is easier to have them in the same domain - removes additional areas for problems. Certainly while you are testing, why complicate things? Most people install like this

mydomain.com is the joomla in the root
mydomain.com/folder is the moodle folder

Personally, I would just install both on xammp on the same machine. Get both moodle and joomla working and only when they are working install joomdle. Again, keep things simple.

As for your time frame of one month, this depends on what your expectations are. It is easy to set up moodle, joomla and joomdle in minutes - say 1 or 2 hours assuming everything goes well. But you need to consider your theme / design, your content for joomla, your courseware, training of any staff / teachers, etc. Thus, I would put the question back to you, can you get all other stuff done in a month?

Same name? same domain? It is easier.

I would not be looking at integration just yet. The first thing to do is understand you teaching options and features moodle BBB, etc. Learn what joomla provides and what moodle provides. Once you know the pros and cons of each platform and what you wish to use them for, it would be appropriate to look at integration.

I am not really sure what your question is. You do not mention upgrading from what to j2.5 or XIPT? Also, are you using Joomdle? What versions, etc.

It sounds like your question is not related to Joomdle. If this is correct, and your question is related to XIPT and Joomla you would be best to place your questions in the joomlaxi forum as we are not experts on those components.
