    forum doesnt show

    Hi,
    Though I have ceated a course forum it is not shown in the instructor or student course page. One can not post because there's no posting link or anything like this. Any idea?

    Thanks.

    This is perhaps due to a corrupted file. Either replace the file with a copy from the source code repository,

    http://svn.atutor.ca/repos/atutor/tags/atutor_2_0_1/mods/_standard/forums/

    ... or reinstall ATutor. Be sure to see the FAQs regarding blank pages and error messages.

    Tried a new mod install but nothing works. The created forum is on list but doesn't show any feature in My Course page. No Post, Reply or other links.

    Have you tried

    Instructor-> Manage -> Course Tools -> check the forums

    Forum is already checked as Main Navigation. When I click this link in the Main Navigation nothing happens.

    Attached is a screenshot of how I accessed to forum post. Assuming you have already created a forum through:
    Instructor -> Managed -> Forums -> Create Forums

    There's nothing like 1 and 2 on my page. No trace of a forum, no nothing. Only the Side Menu and the upper Navigation Menu. This is all.

    Let us know what happens after a fresh install, and be sure to read the FAQ I pointed you to above.

    Re: forum doesn't show

    There's no more need of fresh install. The problem has been fixed. It was because the mode_rewrite or friendly url. I have disabled these settings and now everything's OK.

    One more question still: how can I improve the numbers of characters visible in the course description?

    Thanks.

    Re: forum doesn't show

    Good catch. The forum link problem with mod_rewrite is a bug. You can still use Pretty URL.

    As for course description, that's a theme controlled feature that can be editoed in a the default theme's user/browse.tmpl.php file.

    look for
    [php]

    <?php if ($row['description']): ?>

    [/php]

    and modify the number of characters defined (currently 150)
