The Code and Documentation Sprint saw a lot of work yesterday, with the devs working through a new workflow for managing code in git and beginning to package up Moodle 2.4 LAE.
Daniel Landau (Reed College) upgraded Redmine was upgraded. Jedidiah Rex (Beloit College) began testing Quickmail under Moodle 2.4 and discovered that “everything except compose works.” Obviously some debugging is needed.
The Doc’ers started testing the Bootstrap base theme. There are not a lot of options in the 2.4 version because it’s a backport from 2.5; the 2.5 version has more options. One thing we noticed is that any time you have a lot of stuff on the pages with quizes (questions, question bank). This is because it relies on a overflow rules, rather than re-stacking. You’ll need to learn LESS templating system to build out your own child themes.
Kevin Wiliarty (Smith College) experimented with creating a block that lets you print a syllabus view of the course.
Carly Born (Carleton College) spent lots of time looking at Assignment 2.4. She also experimented with adding buttons through the TinyMCE GUI.
