	1: Moodle integration: Uninstalling LAMS 1 activity breaks LAMS v2 activitymoo By: Dave Bauer		12/28/07 08:55 AM	[ Reply \| Forward ]
I uninstalled the LAMS 1 activity on a site and the LAMS 2 activity started displaying error messages such as "could not find the instance of this module." whenever one tries to view, edit or delete a lams v2 activity from a course. Luckily in this case there was no active LAMS v2 activities so I deleted the LAMS v2 activity then visitied moodle/admin to reinstalls LAMS v2 and that worked. I removed the LAMS 1 activity to get rid of the lams course format. This may not be necessary, I found it is also possible to just remove entries from course/formats directory. Anyway, there isn't any clear documentation on this on how to update a existing Moodle site that has LAMS 1 with the LAMS v2 activity. Are there any known issues that would cause the errors I saw? As far as I can tell LAMS v2 uses specific database tables that would not be removed by deleting LAMS 1 activity. Posted by Dave Bauer

The two modules (LAMS 1 and LAMS 2) should be completely separate but maybe there is something lurking somewhere.... They have separate tables. We usually recommend people disable the LAMS 1 module in the admin. Then teachers/lecturers/etc won't get it in their drop down menu. Fiona Posted by Fiona Malikoff
