Joomla menu link to moodle category was created by steveh
Hi
I am not sure where to find the moodle category ID?
I did create one in the Moodle category edit area where you can create your own ID but when linking from Joomla I get: "No category selected"
I have attached some screenshots of what I see from Joomla and Moodle
Your assistance is appreciated.
Thank you
Steve

[strike]When you edit the course category in Moodle, there's a field called "Category ID number". It is empty by default I believe, but you can put a number in there which will then be read by Joomdle.[/strike]
Edit: It appears the course category ID is actually the ID within the moodle database. If you hover over the category link in Moodle, you'll see the URL ending with "categoryid=X". That X is the category ID.

Hi,
Thanks for the bug report: the parameter in this view should show Moolde course category list, so you can select it without knowing about IDs.
Problem is that in a recent update, we changed some paths, and this view was not updated properly.
So, to fix this, please edit file: components/com_joomdle/views/coursecategory/tmpl/default.xml
Change:
