[Closed] Topic only shows "Section 1", "Secton 2" ....

Hi,

My Setup:
Joomla upgraded to v2.5.1
Moodle 2.2.1+
Joomdle R0.7

I started with Moodle just yesterday but was able to setup and configure everything properly.

I created a "Course Details" menu item to output a particular course (in topic format)...

However, upon viewing the page, topic titles are being displayed only as:

Section 1
[short description here...]

Section 2
[short description here...]

Section 3
[short description here...]

Even though I set a Topic Title for the topics.

I think the problem is on Joomdle side because topic titles are appearing properly on Moodle.

Please help.

Thanks!

You need to configure your Joomdle "Topics View" - Set Show Numbers = No.

Hi,

I turned it off, following your instruction. The "Section 1"... disappeared but the Topic titles did not show up.

What remains on the page are just the descriptions.

Thanks for your reply.

Edit:

That's when I click on the "Course Topics" link.

OK I see what you mean I think. In my demo I wasn't replacing the Section Titles in Moodle. So when I configured Joomdle to not show the Section Titles, it shows my own titles that I made up as part of the Course Descriptions. Ie I placed my Titles in the description for greater control.

So assuming:
1) You set the link to not show numbers in Joomdle (Joomla side)
2) Unchecked the default section titles in Moodle (ie use your own Titles)

This appears to be not working properly. Let me confirm with Antonio to verify if there is bug here.

OK looked at the code. I can see an if condition is omitted to check for that. Unless it is somewhere else.

If you need it urgently you can edit the file /components/com_joomdle/views/topics/tmpl/default.php around line 33 and had the condition to check if the field name is the course_sections table is null. If not display the name field.

I am not sure when Antonio will have time to make a modification for this - I will let him look through and reply.

mm requires a little more. need to edit moodle side as well. So if you are not adventurous, you may wish to wait

@Chis Rogers

Thank you very much for your efforts. Am adventurous but just can't at the moment. Will wait...

Fixed in R0.8

I stumbled upon this thread looking for a work-around for my problem with display of topics.

When I create simple text only descriptions for the topics, they display correctly in Moodle and also Joomla using Joomdle .7. However, if I get fancy in the topic with an image, it continues to display correctly in Moodle -- but in Joomla a stair step with each topic falling off the lower left of the previous.

I tried surrounding the HTML topic in Moodle with <p> </p> and also with </br> which doesn't change the display behavior.

Does .8 address this issue, and are there any workarounds for .7?

Try R0.81 to see if it fixed, as I fixed some display problem in that version.
