| newz2000 | hi emmajane | 21:37 |
| emmajane | newz2000, hey :) | 21:37 |
| emmajane | so. rich text editing is ... t e h s u c k | 21:38 |
| newz2000 | yes | 21:38 |
| newz2000 | the best results I've had are starting in the wysiwyg or copying from the wiki | 21:38 |
| newz2000 | copying from OOo is never pleasant | 21:38 |
| emmajane | I tried just about every sane variation last night and for some reason Moodle + Tiny is munging embedded styles on resave. | 21:38 |
| emmajane | newz2000, Oh I'm definitely *not* copying from OOo. :) | 21:38 |
| dinda | btw - emma meet newz2000, newz2000 meet emma | 21:38 |
| emmajane | newz2000, there's not enough Scotch in the world for me to do that. | 21:38 |
| emmajane | :) | 21:39 |
| newz2000 | people wonder why it takes me 2 hours to publish a press release | 21:39 |
| newz2000 | ;-) | 21:39 |
| emmajane | I'm doing OOo -> HTML -> vim cleanup -> Moodle. | 21:39 |
| newz2000 | ok, so you have normal, simple html and it's getting converted to entities when you edit it (after having been previously saved)? | 21:40 |
| emmajane | I'm pasting in HTML as "source" (Tiny editor turned off). | 21:40 |
| emmajane | which is fine until you want to edit the page. And then it converts all of the embedded <style> stuff into HTML entities and it all disappears which makes the baby jesus cry. | 21:40 |
| newz2000 | oh, ok, so you have styles that are being escaped | 21:40 |
| emmajane | yup | 21:40 |
| emmajane | they still don't show up, they're just converted (adn still hidden) | 21:41 |
| newz2000 | so one solution would be to pull them out and link to them | 21:41 |
| emmajane | i.e. they're not showing up as displayed <style> tags with < converted to > | 21:41 |
| emmajane | global styles would be lovely. | 21:41 |
| emmajane | the problem with "pulling them out" is that there's no way for me to link to an external style sheet from within the resource. | 21:41 |
| emmajane | it'd have to be set with a powerful fist than what I've got. :) | 21:42 |
| newz2000 | let me confer with someone real quick | 21:43 |
| emmajane | as best I can tell it would be safe to do .generalcontentbox h1 (h2, h3, h4) styles | 21:43 |
| newz2000 | are these styles applicable to the whole site or just your material? | 21:43 |
| dinda | whole site meaning just moodle? | 21:44 |
| emmajane | in theory I am following a style guide that should be applied to all courses. | 21:44 |
| newz2000 | ok | 21:44 |
| dinda | not elearning courses though | 21:44 |
| dinda | changes *could* affect server course - though i doubt it | 21:44 |
| emmajane | OH | 21:45 |
| dinda | and desktop course is nothing more swf files | 21:45 |
| emmajane | check it out. Moodle rocks. | 21:45 |
| newz2000 | haven't heard that before | 21:45 |
| emmajane | body.course-24 .generalcontentbox h1 will match only me | 21:45 |
| dinda | we would have to test on the test server first | 21:45 |
| emmajane | 24 == course id | 21:45 |
| newz2000 | oh, slick | 21:45 |
| emmajane | you'll have to update the style each time the course id changes. | 21:45 |
| emmajane | see? sometimes moodle gets it right :) | 21:45 |
| newz2000 | ok, so what you're proposing is an addition to the moodle theme | 21:46 |
| newz2000 | which I can do | 21:46 |
| emmajane | awesome! | 21:46 |
| dinda | woohoo | 21:46 |
| emmajane | s/generalcontentbox/generalboxcontent/ | 21:46 |
| newz2000 | emmajane: if you just email me the changes you want applied I can merge them into the theme. We have a team that reviews these but they're very efficient so I'd expect it to go through with little effort, providing your code is good. :-) | 21:47 |
| newz2000 | matthew.nuzum@canonical.com | 21:47 |
| dinda | newz2000: will you do that on the test server? | 21:49 |
| newz2000 | oh, sure | 21:49 |
| newz2000 | let me make sure I know where it is, just a sec | 21:49 |
| dinda | http://moodlez.ubunut.com/moodle | 21:49 |
| newz2000 | ok, got it | 21:49 |
| dinda | stuart's playground | 21:49 |
| newz2000 | stuart would be the one to review my changes | 21:50 |
| dinda | excellent | 21:50 |
| dinda | what about other RT requests on the server? do you know who I talk to about status of requests? | 21:51 |
| emmajane | newz2000, cool, thanks. | 21:51 |
| newz2000 | dinda: regarding moodlez it's stuart I believe | 21:51 |
| dinda | thanks for your help newz2000! | 21:53 |
| newz2000 | my pleasure | 21:54 |
| newz2000 | If I might ask for a little help in return... | 21:54 |
| newz2000 | would you tell me a website that you, as a woman, enjoy visiting? | 21:54 |
| emmajane | I'm just peaking at http://moodlez.ubunut.com/moodle/theme/standard/styles.php. I'm not sure which style sheet you'd actually merge it into. | 21:54 |
| newz2000 | emmajane: just send me your rules | 21:54 |
| newz2000 | they're organized neatly on the server and moodle combines them | 21:54 |
| emmajane | kay | 21:55 |
| emmajane | newz2000, that seems like a question that has an ulterior motive... :) | 21:55 |
| newz2000 | yes, I'm trying to learn the difference between sites that women like and sites that men think they like | 21:55 |
| dinda | newz2000: i'm pretty atypical - my fav sites are news, local papers and Drudge | 21:56 |
| newz2000 | that's OK. There are a lot of atypical women I suspect. | 21:56 |
| emmajane | newz2000, heh. | 21:56 |
| emmajane | newz2000, I like sites that don't get in my way. | 21:56 |
| newz2000 | so except facebook I'm happy to look at any site that you like | 21:57 |
| dinda | chron.com galvnews.com | 21:57 |
| emmajane | clean. easily scanned. and ... obvious? | 21:57 |
| newz2000 | I knew it. All this pink stuff is just crap | 21:57 |
| emmajane | yes. :) | 21:57 |
| emmajane | Unless you're asking myrtti or hypa7iz | 21:58 |
| emmajane | hypa7ia | 21:58 |
| emmajane | they like pink. i know it's shocking... but not all women are the same. | 21:58 |
| dinda | it totally is newz2000 | 21:58 |
| dinda | blue is my favorite and purple some too | 21:58 |
| emmajane | blue == drupal == win | 21:58 |
| dinda | this is an awesome site too: http://www.writingopensource.com/ | 21:59 |
| emmajane | http://www.designbygrid.com/ | 22:00 |
| emmajane | http://www.ministryoftype.co.uk/words/article/constructing_the_grid/ <--- I have a crush on grids. | 22:00 |
| emmajane | dinda, now with more mammoths!! | 22:00 |
| dinda | emmajane: I see that! and is that brown? | 22:00 |
| emmajane | aye | 22:00 |
| emmajane | picked by a *girl* no less! (it's addi's theme) | 22:00 |
| newz2000 | emmajane: 960 or blueprint? | 22:01 |
| * emmajane goes back to writing styles. | 22:01 | |
| emmajane | newz2000, 960 because it had better resources first. | 22:01 |
| emmajane | newz2000, have you played with their gridoverlay bookmark? | 22:01 |
| emmajane | made. of. win. | 22:01 |
| newz2000 | no | 22:02 |
| emmajane | http://gridder.andreehansson.se/ | 22:02 |
| newz2000 | only recently tried out 960 | 22:02 |
| emmajane | it overlays a grid onto any web page you're currently looking at. | 22:02 |
| newz2000 | interesting | 22:02 |
| emmajane | mark boulton used blueprint for the d.o redesign. | 22:02 |
| newz2000 | I used 960 for ubuntu.com's latest rev (based on the ninesixty drupal base theme) | 22:03 |
| emmajane | nice. | 22:03 |
| emmajane | you using D6 yet, or still D5? | 22:04 |
| newz2000 | I like it's grid but I like that blueprint can be easily adjusted for diff widths | 22:04 |
| newz2000 | D6 as of this spring | 22:04 |
| emmajane | nice. | 22:04 |
| newz2000 | waiting for D7 | 22:05 |
| newz2000 | hoping nice ux stuff makes it in | 22:05 |
| emmajane | hoping it doesn't get bike shedded. :/ | 22:05 |
| newz2000 | me too | 22:06 |

| emmajane | Arial Unicorn MS != Arial Unicode MS | 22:16 |
| emmajane | must read ALL the words as they are written. | 22:16 |
| emmajane | newz2000, updated styles sent. | 22:21 |
| emmajane | newz2000, thanks again for taking care of this. I really appreciate it. | 22:21 |
| newz2000 | happy to help | 22:21 |
| emmajane | newz2000, one other question: do you know if you can change the resource type in Moodle after something has been uploaded? I'm assuming it's like Drupal where you /can/ do it by hand (change the content type) but you shouldn't really. | 22:22 |
