Hi David,
In the journal function, is it possible for lecturers to have access to the editor tool bar when sending responses? They want to be able to italicise and bold the feedback etc. I sent this request to Pukunui as they are our host, and their response was to contact you and see if you would be able to do this. Amy
Just wondering . . .

Hi Graham,
This functionality is not available from the module code, you can change the page blocks settings (docking them) and tune the page layout to use the browser print feature to do it.

Hi Derek,
If I remember correctly no, it does not accept uploads; I've been only updating the code to keep it working with the new moodle releases, but I haven't added any kind of new functionality like integration with the filepicker nor a component area for mod_journal. Feel free to contribute a patch adding support for it and I will be glad to merge it.
Thanks,
David

Hello,
Can you download Journal entries to print out?
Thanks Graham
Just wondering . . .
Is it true what this says: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=259569#p1125323 that Journal does not support inserting images in a response?

I've uploaded new versions of the plugin with the problem fixed for Moodle 2.4, Moodle 2.5 and a new version for Moodle 2.6.
Thanks for the report.

Hi David,
I am using Journal with Moodle 2.6 and on first sight it seems to work fine. However, when I add comments to entries and save them it get the following message "Notice: Undefined variable: vars in /path/to/moodle/mod/journal/report.php on line 78".
I had a look at report.php and line 78. Can it be that the "vars" should be a "vals"? If I change vo "vals" saving entries no longer displays the message.

Hi Tyler,
Yes, I will add the new version for 2.6. I haven't tried it, but the same code should work so feel free to test the latest mod_journal version in a Moodle 2.6 testing site.

(continues last message) with this reproduce the problem, you will see mor einfo about the problem, if you can not solve the problem with this info (usually the module is installed without problems) then paste it here and I will try to help you to sort it out.

After installing the plugin and adding it as an activity to a course and then clicking on it, I got this error message ' an error occurred while processing this directive]' I downloaded the plugin to my computer then uploaded. I choose activity module(mod) as the plugin type although I couldn't find any info on what type I should choose.
Any idea why I'm getting this error?
