<br>Are people thinking about Mahara?

<div class="Ih2E3d">> What do you think about the moodle Elgg integration? Is that too much "extra<br>

<br>
</div>I wrote most of the Elgg/Moodle integration a few years ago. It's<br>
hideous -- in part because Elgg internals are terrible.<br>
<br>
You don't have to worry, Moodle has 2 blogs available -- the built-in<br>
blog, and oublog. Search the archives of this list - oublog seems to<br>
be the best fit and once it's in plce, we can probably integrate the<br>
edublog work that's been done.<br>

</div>I _am_ part of the upstream team too ;-)<br>

</div>I really don't think so.<br>

</div>Enable warnings, leave it unset, and it *will* complain. Guaranteed :-)<br>

<br>
</div>Javascript can't read outside the sandbox so you can't get that data.<br>
One easy trick is to let the user pick the colours.<br>
<br>
Another possible fix is to steal it from the metadata that's part of<br>
the journal. Each kid's journal backup resides on the XS, and it seems<br>
to store some colours to remember what icon colours to show. It'd be a<br>
horrible and fragile way to guess.<br>
<br>
The "right" fix is to pass that data at registration time. We'l<br>
eventually do that, but it'll take a while :-(<br>
