intergration Joomla and Moodle - problem was created by Annie68
Hi All,
Still trying to get my head around Joomdle.
Seems a wonderful component if I could just get it setup the way I would like it I would love it. So I need some help please.
Now I have a Joomla site setup with Moodle installed in the public_html folder.
All is working to a degree.
Now I would like the Joomla part of the site to be the 'main site' and the Moodle part be the secondary part of the site.
I have created links to Moodle with a side menu. (This works well)
1. The problem is when I'm in the 'main HOME' page the breadcrumbs show it as being You are here: Home Home. To me this shows it is using Moodle as the main site.
2. I'm not sure how to link back to the Joomla part of the site from Moodle either. I thought I could link from the 'Site Home' in the menu in the 'Dashboard' but can't find how to do this.
Joomdle_v1.1.3-for-joomla30
Joomla! 3.7.2 Stable
Moodle v3.3+
How can I changed these issues, any help would be appreciated.
Cheers Annie

Hi.
I don't really understand your setup, but most people have things like:
- Joomla: public_html folder
- Moodle: something like public_html/courses
This way, "main site" is Joomla, at site.com, and Moodle is at site.com/courses
> I'm not sure how to link back to the Joomla part of the site from Moodle either.
It depens on how or even if you want to link back to Joomla. For example, if you are using the wrapper, there is no need to link back to Joomla, as you are always inside Joomla
When using Moodle in full window, you can have a custom block linking to Joomla for example.

Hi Antonio,
Thanks for getting back to me, first off I do have my site setup as you described.
- Joomla: public_html folder
- Moodle: public_html/moodle
so "main site" is Joomla, at site.com, and Moodle is at site.com/moodle
I worked out why I was getting the funny breadcrumbs link, it was because I had set the 'courses' link in the side menu to default too which over rode the main 'home' link on the top menu.
Thanks also for the idea of creating a block for the back link to Joomla 'Home'. I hadn't thought of that, it will fix my problem.''
