This is a tricky one. Right now, due to the many different ways it's possible to host Frog, detecting where the user is in relation is not straight-forward. However, I do know that the following php code: <?php header("Content-Type: text/plain"); print("Your IP address is: " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "\n"); print("You connected to: " . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "\n"); print("Which internally resolves to: " . gethostbyname($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']) . "\n"); ?> sits on the Frog server at the top level: https://yourfrogaddress/ipaddress.php It might be possible then to use the HTML widget to check this page, split the contents to get the IP address in Javascript, then hide elements based on the result.

Hi @NatalieW, We haven't incorporated Feedback into ePortfolios (yet - nice idea though), but I wonder if this thread will give you some ideas: Integrating Google Docs would be another approach too.

Hi, Forms is coming in the Galileo release (end of Feb). It will be in two stages, with better layouts, new fields etc... followed by editable entries shortly after.

Sorry @nward, your thread is derailed by everyone trying to blag a free trip (me included). In all seriousness, would you like me to arrange a remote session, where i can show you some of the more hidden features of the platform?

I can dream. I keep hoping for find financial justification to visit @mmclaughlin in America too

Hi Mark, I think you're saying that you don't want the top menu item to have it's own page. Fair enough,, but unfortunately FrogLearn doesn't have the facility for that. So, there's a couple of options: There's a tutorial on the Community about using HTML to change how page links operate: https://www.frogeducation.com/community/tutorials/frogcode-tutorials/external-links I think if you include a blank "" for the forwarding page, the button should just be disabled You can create a menu for the subpages using the Text widget and have that displayed on the top level page Use the Nested Page widget to display the first subpage in the menu. This way your users will assume the page loaded is the first subpage.

Welcome to the forums @nward So, part of the problem / issue is that parents can't open documents in shared folders*. If your image carousel is pointing to a folder, you must be using the FrogCode widget from Radclyffe school. The "official" image carousel works from the site timelines and should allow you to more easily download images. *We're addressing this v. soon.

We're expecting to release the app to coincide with the next update, the Home Learning update - last date i heard for this was 5th Feb. The app loads in all your Frog dashboards and allows you to open and close sites. Homework activities can be completed in the app (including quizzes) and the homework itself can be handed in. There's a low data mode too, which loads the current app if you are not on WiFI. (it's a setting though, so your choice)

I've been experimenting with Google Cardboard Camera which is a really quick way to make 360 images. I've currently hit a brick wall trying to take the video and embed it. Looks like Google in their wisdom don't have the app output a cardboard ready image, so you have to convert it and then their own tutorial doesn't seem to allow embedding from Google Drive (which is where the app uploads to) I'm posting here in case anyone has figured out a way of making this work. Wouldn't it be great for school trips etc... to have a 360 widget.

It's fine to post here. As soon as I'm in the office (next week) I'll get it added to the community proper. Thanks again for sharing

For those who didn't make it to Bett this year, the team inside the Excel space set up a survey to suggest ways schools can use ICT to save time and money. It's all based on stories from schools about how they use Frog and while we've been talking about it for some time, this allowed us to share it properly. By Friday afternoon, we'd demonstrated to current and (hopefully) new customers how they could collectively save over one million pounds. Imagine how many new teachers or support staff that would pay for! If you have 5 minutes, it's worth taking the challenge. I've already had some schools contact me this morning asking about it, as they plan to show their SLT how they could be using Frog more: https://inspire.frogeducation.com/1mc

The abuse I’m getting on these forums is completely unwarranted. Chris’ code is astounding. As soon as I’m in the office (not this coming week), I’ll get the widget and share it, unless @Chris.Smith or @adamw can get there first.

Hi Chris Really sorry that’s happening. I’ve been wall-to-wall Bett this week, but I’ll flag this up. Graham

Hi @Sean_M We've got a few schools in Wales. The Hwb historically meant that most schools didn't go for an extra platform, but we've had a fair few more now talking to us recently. I wonder if we can help here. Maybe between us we could send out an email to the schools and possibly even FrogConnect you all together?

Well, i did try to be inclusive for once

Nice problem to have ;). I did wonder what it should do, but decided it breaking out of the thermometer was a good thing, until you increased the goal

I'm sure by now, you have had plenty of emails that we have the customer zone at Bett this year. It will be great to see everyone who can make it, but for those who can't, I'll try to share all the cool new stuff we'll be talking about in the following weeks. Watch this space (or the ribbit space in the profie menu )

Do you mean next week at Bett? Yeah sure. If you mean, "can i have Frogcode turned on?" also yeah sure

It's on the list, but no ETA I'm afraid. I'm trying to push it up the list, but there's quite a few things we have to do ahead of it. That said, there's been quite a bit of chatter this week, which helps in conversations about prioritising. Being honest, I do not imagine getting anything to you before the end of the academic year, but there's the possibility of September. Of course, FrogCode might be able to solve this.

Hi @ann, I think the easiest solution here is to centre the icons in the text widget. That way they will always be in the centre of the columns and screen size won't affect them Graham

Just posting a quick update on this widget. It was released, but we're shortly going to be introducing a much, much better forms builder. So, I've removed the widget from download for now.

@Sue Busher's widget is now on the Community for anyone who would like to install it: https://www.frogeducation.com/community/tutorials/frogcode/frogcode-showcase#therm

I am so excited about these features. Noticeboards have links and files is great, but I got to witness first hand how transformative forums can be in a school when teachers and students can quickly and easily share files.

Hey, Not really appropriate for Common Questions, but i've just found this for a school and thought I'd share. It's quite difficult to embed an Instagram feed (they don't provide the html) and while you can probably build something in HTML to make the API calls, this page: https://www.simplehelp.net/2017/05/24/how-to-create-an-rss-feed-for-instagram/ Shows how to take an instagram URL, such as: https://www.instagram.com/stevecrowther/ https://www.instagram.com/stevecrowther/ and take the username and paste it onto a websta address: https://websta.me/rss/n/USERNAME to get https://websta.me/rss/n/stevecrowther/ This then works with the RSS widget
