For guidance on using ATutor see the official ATutor Handbook."

and another question if i wanted to remove the help page link or the system preferences link from the from the menu, where do i edit it..?
ur replies are greatly appreciated
2008-03-10 13:57:42
copyright lines in:
/include/html/copyright.inc.php
help page links, comment the guide lines in:
include/lib/menu_pages.php
Don't know what you mean by stystem preferences link. That is an admin link that you can not manage without.
Keep in mind that when you upgrade in the future, the edits you make will be lost. You may want to document them somewhere, and/or create a patch for the patcher module (to be released soon) to re-apply your changes after upgrading.

ok thanxs a lot will keep that in mind....by the way where can edit the welcome message for example when i log out, the message indicates you have successfully logged out, where can i edit just want to play around with thankss
2008-03-10 14:09:46
The welcome message can be edited using the admin's language manager.
2008-03-11 12:07:08
Where can i edit this sentence below in the login box...I just want to use login name and not email so i want to delete the e-mail word...
Enter the Login Name and Password you chose when you first registered with the system.
Login Name or Email
2008-03-11 12:10:42
Edit language using the admin's language manager. All language can be managed from there.
2008-03-11 12:37:27
which part of the atutor database does that line actually go in?
anyway sorry to trouble u
2008-03-15 06:55:00
can anyone help me, in the admin menu page where there the the courses is shown, i want to delete the default student tools link but somehow i am not able to do it...can anyone out there help me, i would really appreciate it, u guys can even add me on ym - ipohmalitaraksombong to help me out
2008-03-17 13:43:20
I'm not sure why you would want to remove that. It is an admin feature, and a fairly critical one. Can you explain what you are trying to do.
2011-08-17 07:11:53
How about the "For guidance on using atutor see the official" and also editing the ATutuor Handbook. Thanks.
2011-08-17 07:22:09
Moreover, where is the admin language manager?
2011-08-17 07:29:51
System Preferences>Languages
I suggest reading the Languages section of the Administrator Handbook.
2011-08-17 14:36:28
Thanks, i later found out. You guys are doing a great job.
2011-08-18 09:43:33
I've delved into the language manager to edit the "For general help with using the ATutor system see the official ATutor Handbook" in the downloaded zip content and I could not find anything similar. Pls where could the editing be?
2011-08-18 10:01:14
What downloaded zip content are you talking about? "For general help..." is not in the ATutor language.
Have you found the Language Editor? You enter words for the language you want to edit in the ATutor system language, and possible translation items will appear below.
If you want to edit content, that's done using the instructor's content editor.
2011-08-18 11:03:09
What I mean is that, after a user must have downloaded a particular content using the export button, it comes in a zipped file. You will have to extract it and open the index.html before you can read the contents offline. After opening, at the base you see the atutor logo and the "For general help with using the ATutor system see the official ATutor Handbook". I am now asking how one can edit that particular sentence. I hope I made myself clear now?
2011-08-18 11:44:46
Ah! Good, you found some hard coded language. It's in:
_core/imscp/include/footer.html
We'll fix that for the next release.
2011-08-19 13:24:43
When a message is sent to an e-mail address, you see at the footer "Sent via an ATutor system at http:...
ATutor home: http://atutor.ca. Please how can that be edited? Thanks for your initial help.
2011-08-19 13:29:18
Edit using the Administrator's Language Editor. Except for language in the Handbook, all ATutor language is edited there (except where the odd hard-coded language may have been missed).
2011-08-19 14:52:51
Thanks Greg!
2011-08-19 15:00:16
Now there is this one...at the footer of the received message, it is located after the atutor Home: http://atutor.ca. I want to change the url to point to another directory. I know that is not in the language manager anyway.
2011-08-19 15:08:59
Not sure what you mean "after the atutor Home..."
2011-08-19 15:49:55
Okay, when I decide to send a message to you through atutor, you will see this after the message..."Sent via an ATutor system at" followed by my website url. The last couple of words would be Atutor home: http://atutor.ca. All that can be edited using the language manager. But this particular url http://atutor.ca at the last portion of the received message can't be edited using the language manager. It should be in one of the directories, just that I don't know which one.
2011-08-19 16:07:41
Where is your ATutor installation located?
That URL is generated based on the location of the ATutor installation. You cannot edit it.
2011-08-19 20:18:36
I tried testing it on my colleague's installation it is still the same. It seems you dont get what im talking about. The directory where Atutor was installed will vary based on the location. However, the atutor.ca url will remain there at the bottom whenever you view the sent message. I guess the code might look like this <ahref ''http://atutor.ca''></a> in a file in the web directory.
2011-08-20 04:29:24
Where could that code be located in my web folder?
2011-08-20 08:00:35
Found what you're talking about at:
http://svn.atutor.ca/repos/atutor/trunk/docs/include/classes/phpmailer/atutormailer.class.php

Now this one, When an Instructor creates a test with added questions; he wants it to reflect at the gradebook manager. He now clicks on add test/assignment tab. Once the test/assignment has been added, it reflects on the gradebook. On the gradebook page, you have Name, GradeScale and Type. Now under type we have "Atutor Test or "Atutor Assignment". Now how do I edit that. I tried using the language manager but its not there. I open the directory ... /mods/_standard/gradebook/gradebook_test.php to edit it but it complained that it is not found. Will appreciate any help rendered.
2011-08-25 09:02:44
Find the language token:
add_atutor_test
2011-08-25 11:04:10
The language token: 'add_atutor_test' will only edit the heading that contains 'add atutor Assignments/Tests/Survey'. The 'type' column that will display the kind of gradebook whether it is (atutor assignments or atutor tests)is what I need to edit.
Thanks.
2011-08-25 11:56:43
Found it. There's some hard coded language in
mods/_standard/gradebook/gradebook_add_tests.php
I've reported it to the bug tracker. Hopefully we can get this fixed before the next release.
Note however, if you intended on changing it, you'll also need to change SELECT statement further down in the file to search for whatever token you insert there. A little messy coding there from someone.
2011-08-25 13:57:31
Well it is still the same thing. I actually considered 3 files in the gradebook directory. They are gradebook_add_tests.php, gradebook_edit_tests.php and gradebook_tests.php. I tried to change anything that has to do with "Atutor Test" and "Atutor Assignments" but it still tells me Gradebook not found each time I tamper with the gradebook_tests.php. I have changed the SELECT statement in the gradebook_add_tests.php but it is still the same thing.
Although no matter the changes I make in the other files apart from gradebook_tests.php will effect no changes but when I try to edit the gradebook_tests.php it will tell me not found.
I will attach the exact page I'm talking about here.
2011-08-25 15:08:26
That would be how I would expect it to behave. It's not as simple as just replacing the language strings. Part of the code needs to be rewritten, which we'll get to when we can.
In the meantime you are welcome to experiment on your own. If you do come up with a solution, you could create a patch and send it to us. That might increase the chances of getting the fit into the coming release.
2011-08-25 15:46:25
Okay...I will try and study the codes later then, will have to revert the changes I've made to my site so as to avoid future contradictions. Thanks for your time anyway.
2011-09-06 07:57:16
Hi, been a while. I just uploaded a classroom pics in the atutor default 2.02 theme on my website and I discovered that the font color of my website is exactly the same as the image I just uploaded. I want to know how I can change the font color of my website probably to white.
2011-09-06 08:46:42
In the theme's directory, edit styles.css.
2011-09-06 12:05:49
Yeah, that only changes the website's font colour when logged in but the same color font for the website remains when you are logged out. I also want to know the css that changes the "Administration, "Start Page" e.t.c just below the website.
2011-09-06 12:51:41
All styles are controlled in the .css files in whichever theme happens to be displayed.
My guess is you have a theme other than the default set as the system's default theme.
You might disable alternative themes your changes to appear everywhere, using the admin's theme manager Or create your own theme. Seems the theme designer documentation with the ATutor Handbook
2011-09-06 12:54:48
I'd also suggest creating a new thread when you want to discuss a topic other than the one in the original message subject line. This thread is becoming too long with too many different topics
