You're using 3rd party hosting and using the wrapper feature in Joomla to link to it? We are using a 3rd party browser-based Student Information System. Once we are comfortable with it among the faculty and staff, we will probably roll out parent access using the wrapper, so that there is a look an...

Does anyone know of a module that would help create/manage paperless report cards? Are you sure that you are prepared to take on the responsiblity of housing sensitive and confidential student information on the website? We are about to implement some such thing, but it will be separate software on...

I'd say that Moodle would be somewhat better suited out of the box for the functionality that you seek. It's free and open source. m Steve Can the moodle being integrated with joomla? I mean using joomla user management function? And without too much coding? Thanks! Last I knew there was a seriousl...

Hi all, Sorry if I post this question in a wrong place. I think this might be the best place to raise my question. I am helping my friend to set up a website for his students. My friend is a piano teacher offering individual class to his students. These classes are vary from student to student. Som...

Start by getting Colorzilla and Web Developer extensions for Firefox. Mouse over or click on the elements you want to change, and they should give you a clue as where to begin looking. With Web Developer, click on information and select Div Order and/or Element Information, then click on the item. M...

I had a look at this calendar and I must admit it looks good and also the features are as expected. What my concern is that this a separate package and not to be integrated as a Joomla Component, right? And therefore it need to be payed for. pieter Yes, it needs to be paid for. It can be administer...

Ah...very clever use of words, Steve. ;) I was looking at the Thyme's website last night and could not figure out which file to download (to install their demo). Any of you know which one(s) to get? It depends upon the server environment. I'd suggest getting in touch with yo...

I am pretty sure you will only find only commercial software that will meet this need. You could also import and export SQL data using phpMyAdmin to CSV, but I'm not sure your church members will find that convenient--that is basically what Thyme is doing except they give you a convenient interface....

steveoc

The commercial calendar component Thyme works with Outlook Express.

I have not used it and there may be others. It runs $50 US.

Steve, I check your site ...looks neat. whats the name of that gallery you used. I would love to use that. Thanks! Are you talking about the gallery or the slideshow? The gallery is Coppermine with the default css hacked to match the rest of the site. The slidshow is slideshow pro which is commerci...

This is always a struggle at our school website. We are making progress, but never enough. Here are some strategies that I have implemented to help. ⋅ Get people started by having them enter events in the calendar (If you have one--if not I recommend setting one up). The interface is simpl...

All I can say about your website is ... "wow".

Here is a link to our school website: m It is primarily a Joomla based website with other software "wrapped" into it: * Coppermine (Image gallery) * Squirrel Mail (web-based email) * Moodle Our website serves as a communication platform and as a means of ass...

I sure wish I could get our athletic department to show interest in our school Joomla site! Schedules of games and practices can be handled through a calendar component. I like extCal for its flexibility. I have not explored reservation extensions, but I see lots of potential. Most are Commercial li...

Jeff, you are welcome. Our company is long overdue in returning something back to the community. We are planning future releases some GNU/GPL and others licensed. Your point of building in editing features from the front end is one the team has struggled with for a while. We have ...

steveoc

Why not use both? I use Joomla, Moodle, Coppermine, and Squirrelmail. There is a lot more to moodle than uploading/downloading homework. You can make public spaces with it.

I guess my approach was a happy medium of planning and on-the-fly evolution. I sketched out an awful lot on yellow pads while sitting at the beach this summer. I also had the luxury of implementing some of the ideas and testing them out on a site that nobody was going to see anyway. There is no ques...

steveoc

Steve, Interesting info. Thanks for that. I do run a few Moodle sites, and considered using Moodle as our main CMS, but feel that Joomla has a more polished look and feel. I haven't thought much of using the wrapper. That would be very useful for including legacy static pages, as long as they're re...

steveoc

I don't see why one Joomla installation could take care of it all, but there are pros and cons. To do it all in one installation might take some more creative planning with the menus in relation to the content sections and categories, as well as the judicious use of extensions. On the upside, ...

steveoc

Steve, You have a beautiful site. It's something to aspire to! Congrats! Is that a roll-your-own theme? Or is it a regular theme that you customized? It has the layout I really would like to see for our site. Also, how did you implement the "popular tags"-style block on the left of the page? (Not s...

Dear Steve, I see you have the two things exemplary students have: - Does Homework! - Persistent when something is not understood! Your Lunch menu is something I NEED badly! After several meetings and review of the last school survey the #1 problem is knowing the Lunch Menu in an ...

Not to diminish Joomla, but it sounds like Moodle is the software you need. I use both for our school website.

The Moodle portion of the site is under the tab Learners-->Learning Center

I have to enter another vote for Rockettheme. There are over 30 templates available--many with several unique variations--offering more configuations yet. A three month membership costs $50 and allows you to use two templates (for as long as you like), and non-profit use does not count to the ...

Hi-- I started a school website in September and we have gotten off to a good start. There are a number of things that have helped our success. ⋅ The power of "copy & paste": People throughout the school are typing up memos, fliers, announcements, newsletter articles, etc. all the time. I ...

Have you tried another wysiwyg editor? Perhaps there is one that wouldn't. Shot in the dark. Alternately, perhaps make a Content Table Page with Categories "Enojo, Seguridad, Cargas, Consuel," etc. Click on the Category and for a page with the passages to shows up in a Category Blog. Or have a list ...

steveoc

Have you tried pasting the code in with the wysiwyg editor turned off? When I want something complex in my content item, I usually work it in a separate html editor on my local computer, then paste the code into the text field with wysiwyg off. It give a lot of flexibility.

Try this module:

http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... Itemid,35/

This is an amazingly versatile module! There is a dizzying array of settings including scrolling--horizontal or vertical.

Even if you have no interest in scrolling, I highly recommend this module.

I use it for a scrolling message in this webpage:

steveoc

This shouldn't be a problem! Go over to the extensions area and poke around. There are several extensions that can meet your needs. You may want to install separate photo gallery software. Three popular options are Zoom, Gallery2 and Coppermine. You can use the Wrapper to make them appear as part o...
