MooMo

Warning

MooMo is still in a very experimental beta phase. Many features aren't fully tested and could break at any time. See for more information.

A client-side "mod" designed for Moodle sites. Provides functionality such as a Python language server for CodeRunner questions, better math-based input fields for STACK, and a feature-rich CSS reset and theming support. The mod is distributed as a chrome extension, an should be usable on all Chromium browsers. Firefox is not (yet? contributions welcome!) supported.

Beta usage

Remember, at any point you may turn off the extension (at chrome://extensions) in order to use the page as normal. At this point in time major concerns are math input fields and cross-page navigation. If you experience anything unexpected after clicking a button or link, try reloading the page. If you find a common occurance of this, please create a new issue with details, screenshots, links describing the issue. Likewise, if anything unexpected occurs while entering inputs into math fields, please create an issue describing the problem. NOTE: you may not see errors in the math-field's translation into STACK until it is too late!! YOU MAY LOSE MARKS TO THIS, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. In general, any "simple" expressions should work fine, but "complex" objects (derivatives, greek letters, matrices, etc) may be risky. Again, please report anything you find not to work as expected.

Known issues

• Coderunner questions' UI duplicating (browser shows dialog when this happens, reload to fix)
• Messaging drawer and notifications panel not opening after navigation (reload to fix)
• Coderunner questions dont always save until (pre-)checked (TODO: is this caused by us?) (copy before reloading)
• Matrices not implemented inside math fields (disable ext.)
• Many LaTeX commands not implemented in math fields

Install

The extension can be installed by:

• Downloading the latest release build here
• Unzip the file to a known location
• Go to chrome://extensions in a new tab
• Check the Developer mode toggle
• Press Load Unpacked. A folder select dialog should pop up.
• Select the folder you unzipped before (this folder should contain a manifest.json file)
• You should now see the new Moodle UI when you access LEARN (You may need to reload any open tabs)

Contributions

Contributions are welcome and encouraged! If you find a bug, please report it in our GitHub Issues. For developers, PRs are welcome, especially for bugfixes or CSS tweaks. Try avoid subjective thematic/aesthetic CSS (that would be better in personal user/theme CSS) in PRs, limit to layout bugs, overflows, LEARN CSS overrides, etc. Suggestions for aesthetic design choices can be made in GitHub Issues.
