Wrapper vs Same Window links?

First thank you for this great project. We needed this functionality!!

Can you give me a quick explanation of the pros and cons of Wrapper vs Same Window links?

I didn't see anything in the documentation or forums about this. Sorry if I missed it.

Edit FYI - I received an "Auto-Tweet Error" when I saved this post. That usually means you have not logged into you twitter account in a while.

Hi. Thanks for your comments and the tweeter tip.

As for your question, there are really no pros and cons. You can get whichever best serves your needs:
- Same window: open links in the same window as joomla, thus going away from Joomla site
- Wrapper: keep all Moodle content inside a Joomla wrapper

Thanks Antonio

So far, we are doing great with the setup. Again, thank you.

Using the "List Courses" menu type, there seems to be a number <br> separating each entry displayed. They seem to be coming from the summary text where line returns anywhere in the text editor are being converted to the <br> above the summary. Is this a character encoding thing that can be avoided?

I managed to get this to display correctly by going directly into the database and deleting the line returns. After editing the course summary for the one labeled "Gift certificate Gold, the editor put the line returns back. You can see the result.

Also where is the ENG Language file for this so that we can update it?

Mostrar solamente cursos abiertos para inscripciones No Si
Show only courses open for enrollment

Ok, so line returns with-in the Moodle Editor text are defiantly being converted to breaks <br> when being displayed in Joomdle pages.

Any ideas on how to prevent line returns from being converted to <br>

I'm trying to learn your template system but seeing anything obvious. Ideas?

Hi.

As for the line breaks... I don't know why they are appearing where they shouldn't. Will look into it when I have the time, adn report back.

As for the lang file: thanks for the tip.
File is: components/com_joomdle/views/joomdle/tmpl/default.xml

I will fix it for next release.

As for the "template system", we don't have such a thing. What do you look for/are you trying to do?

Hi again.

Just took a look at the code, and it seems there is a double br being inserted that I have not noticed (maybe because of templates?).
File is:
components/com_joomdle/views/joomdle/tmpl/default.php
On both lines 32 and 33 there is a br being echoed. Can you please remove one and test if it solves your problem?

I gave that a try and it didn't help.

I'm pretty sure it relates to line returns being transformed into breaks. I can count the number of line returns in the Moodle course summary and find the same number of <br>'s added above the displayed entry. It feels like some sort of character encoding thing. I'm not a coder so I don't know where to look.

I also have a problem with a new menu link. We created a Courses by category Menu link set up the same way as our "courses" link but it doesn't work??

I prefered shadowbox window to view moodle from joomla frontpage.You need to get informed on shadowbox plugins for joomla. I may suggest you to use Ninja shadowbox module.

It seems this a remplate related issue.

Can you switch to default joomla template to see if the problems persists? I cannot replicate it here.

That doesn't seem to make a difference for either the extra <br>'s or the broken Courses by category menu item. See here:

I've checked and the database coalitions are all the same.

File permissions are correct.???
