Hello,

I have set under joomdle>configuration>links behavior>Open Moodle links in>wrapper (latest joomdle, moodle and joomla) and experience that joomdle menu items like "Course View" open a native site in joomla with with a certain css style showing only the course content, but as soon as I click for example on a section's module of this course (i.e. forum or glossary) it opens an iframe showing the whole moodle site with moodle's standard Bootstrap template.

My question is if this is normal or is it possible to show all pages as native joomla pages without iframe?

Thanks and regards,
Andreas

It is 'normal' but not necessarily what people typically do from a design perspective.

Joomdle does not replace the entire Moodle functionality, this would be almost impossible considering the amount of features and extensions Moodle has. Thus when you click through you bring up the Moodle interface.

Typically however, we want both environments to look that same. Therefore most, I am guessing 90% of people using Joomdle, will design their style / look with Joomla templates and have a stripped down Moodle removing Moodle navigation etc. Thus it does not matter whether you click through or not as to the user it is one system.

You see a sample stripped down Moodle template here ...
www.joomdle.com/en/download/other-software

which many people are using.

Thanks for your explanation!

The only thing I miss that is not available as native joomla content is the calender day view. Maybe it is already on the road map?

There is a joomdle calendar (moodle calendar) already available. You can have a course calendar or my calendar. This is currently a module but you could extend it further as a plugin to an article or using 3rd party extensions like modules anywhere you could place the module anywhere. If you know css, you could redesign the interface anyway you like.

Alternatively, given that Moodle integrates with many calendars such as google, you could use google to pull Moodle calendars and then one of the many Joomla calendar modules, plugins, components to pull from google - I am sure some will pull straight from Moodle too with some configuration.
