Frogweb was a handy additional feature with Frog3 which allowed you to run web sites with their own links. Schools who didn't have an additional server found it useful. Unfortunately there's not the equivalent in FrogLearn. Would you like me to set up a remote session and we can look at options?

Thank you, i couldn't think of an option for Easter

Sounds intriguing, but I can't quite picture what you're saying. Any chance you could do a screen recording to talk us through it?

@ghughes - I've never turned this into a tutorial as its fairly awkward to get the UUIDs. If you'd like me to set up some tabs for you, I'm happy to arrange that.

Always the possbility of strike action and gas leaks. Keep your hopes up

This is something i am keen on and we have had conversations internally about squeezing it in for Dickens.

I've uploaded a new site to the FrogStore called School Closure Portal. The site is designed to help in the event for snow days, industrial action etc... It contains a noticeboard, forum, gallery and contacts page, but the most useful section are three KS3 level independent lesson plans. The lessons shouldn't conflict with anything on the curriculum directly and are there should you be asked to set work for students. Each lesson is built around the knowledge-based learning concept with TED ED videos, forums, quizzes and file drops to capture student learning. I'm sure your kids won't thank you, but I'm hoping your teachers will.

Hi @ann The Service Desk can run a report for you containing parents and their children and their year groups. You can then use this to add parents to groups and then share with those groups.

The background change bug is being worked on. I know because i've seen several emails about it this week alone. The forogt password link requests your email. If you have an email registered it sends out a reset password link - if you are using Frog as your authentication. If your account is AD, then you get a message explaining.

Thought you might like to see the login page for the next release:

pay you to think about it?

I've had a look and i think the problem might be linked to one of the other scripts running in the HTML widget. I copied the code out and pasted it onto another page and it worked, there's still an error message on the bottom script tag which disappears when it is in a new widget.

We're hosting the Customer Zone at BETT again in the new year. Is anyone thinking of coming along? https://www.frogeducation.com/events/Bett-2017-Customer-Zone

Hi Chris No, as far as I'm aware, that code should work no matter what page you're on. The code sites on the first page to load and continues to run even when not on that page. Is it your website? Graham

Got you. OK, so this is something we might be able to do soon using FrogCode, but in the meantime, you can try: Create a link to a page using the text widget Click off the text widget (you don't need to leave editing mode) Right-click on the link and choose Inspect Element Copy the code highlighted in the Developer console. Use the HTML widget wrapped with the <A href wrapped around the code at the top. You shouldn't get any refreshing or page reloading.

Hi @clangstaff Wouldn't the page link option in the text widget do what you're after?

Hi What's the address you're trying? Graham

I've played with the Dickens version of the shared folder widget and it does both of these things.

Hi both, Sorry you've had to wait for the official newsletter, yes, we're hoping / expecting the next release to more or less coincide with BETT, provided testing doesn't cause issues. I've had a chance to play with the Custom Markschemes and they are pretty cool. You can create any markscheme you wish (including A*-U), be able to publish them and unpublish them (so if your SLT decide they want all marking done with a set scale, you can). You will be able to embed a calendar in a dashboard/site (not a students one though :() Although you can use the embed website widget to embed the calendar currently, use this address: yourschoolurl/app/calendar/?view_type=-1 Managing calendars from a page is a Create Event widget, which allows users to add events through a prebuilt form.

Loving this discussion and how you're all using it. @Chris.Smith - i know i could walk down the room, but seems to make more sense to ask on here. For teachers, can the code open Assignment Manager (ideally to the assignment), rather than the student view of the assignment?

Hi @clangstaff It's set to snow onto dashboards, I loaded up your Snow site then checked the dashboard and it was snowing there.

Hi @mmclaughlin I don't know the term, but a quick search suggests it is about digital badges. It's something I know is close to Steve Holt's heart. We wanted to see what was possible for the Learning FrogLearn course, but struck out for anything automated. My old school was keen to push this stuff too.

Valid point. I'll also mention this internally. No of votes helps, but it's not the only metric our product team use to determine what changes are made. I think we went with usernames to begin with because it's possible two students in the same class could have the same name.

Hi @C Wilson, We can do this for you, if you contact the Service Desk. Graham

HTML5 should have no problem with Frog. Only issues are security ones, scripts need to be included differently.
