One of the most frustrating things about Moodle is the popup window that opens when a tutor uploads a file.  Not only does it open in a small window but it often crops of the side of the screen with the “choose” option.

Many tutors then miss out this vital step of clicking choose and often place a checkbox next to the filename instead.

So we set about trying to find the code in Moodle which changes the size of the popup window (by default this is set to 750px x 500px).

We have finished our version of Moodle for the iPhone.  It is not an iPhone app but we have made it look like one.

The script uses a PHP script to determine the User Agent.  If the User Agent equals “iPhone” then we tell Moodle to load the iPhone stylesheet.

Most jobs require tools.  Plumbers need wrenches, joiners need saws, accountants need calculators, hairdressers need scissors.  But what does a Moodle Developer carry in their toolbox? 

This will differ depending on your Operating System but in terms of functionality, how many applications does a Moodle developer really need?

Following on from my iPhone detection script I have added the Windows CE User Agent.  When Moodle detects the WinCE browser tag it loads a new stylesheet called wince.css.

Every Moodle administrator/developer has daily tasks that they perform.

Although many jobs can be automated during the cron there are often small jobs to do that can accumitively take up a lot of time.
I needed a to-do list system that would collate all my daily Moodle tasks and display them on one page.
