Joomdle Modules

This document applies to Joomdle Release 2.0.0

There are three Modules provided with Joomdle. Two of them are very similar in that they show course listings that link to the specific Moodle courses using Single Sign On from Joomla to Moodle.

The other one shows Moodle calendar inside a Joomla block.

mod_joomdle_courses

Shows Moodle courses, with some options to control which courses are to be shown.

• Specific categories
  • Show only the selected categories

Parameters that control which courses are shown can be mixed. For example, you can set it to show only free latest courses from a specified category.

The displayed courses will "follow" your site template for displaying modules and thus the look will change from site to site. The picture below shows a Left Position Menu on Joomdle.com.

mod_joomdle_my_courses

Shows those specific Moodle courses that the currently logged in user has enrolled in. This module will link directly to the specific Moodle course.

There are no module specific parameters for this course.
