[Closed] mycourses list with course image was created by Mattia

Hi,
I would like to have "mycourses" list look like the "all courses" list. In particular, I'm interested in viewing the course main image in the list. I did the trick by myself editing either the joomla component layout and the counterpart moodle webservice (joomdle_my_courses) serving the course details. I also added in externallib.php the lines (in public static function my_courses_returns() )

Code:

'summary_files' => new external_multiple_structure(
	new external_single_structure(
		array(
		     'url' => new external_value(PARAM_TEXT, 'item url'),
		)
	)
)

and in auth.php

Code:

$record['summary_files'] = array ();
      $c2 = new course_in_list(get_course($course->id));
      foreach ($c2->get_course_overviewfiles() as $file) 
      {
          $isimage = $file->is_valid_image();
          $url = file_encode_url("$CFG->wwwroot/auth/joomdle/pluginfile_joomdle.php",
              '/'. $file->get_contextid(). '/'. $file->get_component(). '/'.
              $file->get_filearea(). $file->get_filepath(). $file->get_filename(), !$isimage);

          $url_item = array ();
          $url_item['url'] = $url;
          $record['summary_files'][] =  $url_item;
      }

Would it be possible to have these changes integrated in the joomdle core plugin? (Or something similar). Because I must keep the plugin joomdle updated, so no custom editing are allowed.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.

I have started looking into this, and was wondering if you could share your changes to the Joomdle view too, to see if I get some ideas on how to show the images. Currently we use a list to show "my courses", and it does not look very good when adding images.

Hi,
sure, you will find in the attachments all my mods. Notice at the beginning of the files the comment with the real location of the file, and along these I added some comments stating where the mod starts and where it ends, like /* ### mod START ### */ ..... /* ### mod END ### */.
Hope you'll appreciate this customization. You will also find a sample screenshot of how the page looks like after the mod.
Keep me updated.

Best regards

Thanks for sending your changes.

I have adapted your layout and CSS to fit in wirh current Joomdle styles (made font smaller, removed custom color...) and added a new option to show/hide summary and images in "my courses" view.

When we release a new version and you upgrade, I guess you'll need to create a template override to bring back your desired format, but as we will have the web service returning all required data, you won't need to do any mods to Joomdle.

Thanks again for your feedback.
