Forum Problems Installing LAMS: Re: Re: How to use Moodle 1.9.4 activities in LAMS 2.2?

Unfortunately at this time we can't quite keep up with the changes in Moodle versions as far as integrating Moodle tools within LAMS.

However, if you are willing to help, I can give you the modifications we've done in Moodle for each tool and Moodle core and you can work out the diffs?

And even better, would you be able to maintain changes when new Moodle releases come up?

Thanks,

Ernie

I don't know if it will help but I have tried to use tool adapter 1.9.5 with moodle 1.9.7+ and Lams 2.3.3. I got until the last step explained by Jun-Dir in this same forum, I managed to have the tools in lams but I couldn't edit the last part in the tool management section of each tool. I posted my logs and the error I get when I click the tool management section of one tool in: Problems trying to integrate moodle activities in lams 2.3.3

I am not an expert in Java, so I can't get anything from that logs or error and I don't know if it will help to someone...

If you manage to install the activities I 'd be very grateful if you let me know!

Thanks

Great!

Our LAMS - Moodle demo site has the Moodle tool adapters installed and working so you can use Moodle activities within LAMS.

This version of Moodle is 1.9.3 (Build: 20081015).

I have zipped up the moodle/mod folder and you can download it here.

For using Moodle tools within LAMS, there are two changes required. One is to the mods (and you can see the changes in the zipped file above) and the other change is to Moodle Core and these changes are explained in the Modifications to Moodle section in the Moodle tool adapters wiki page.

I hope this helps. If you can update the moodle mods to a later version of Moodle that'll be great!

Thanks,

Ernie

Just to clarify why we aren't doing this... Moodle has over 160 contributors to Moodle core, where as here in LAMS we are a whole lot less We also have plenty of work on LAMS stuff and lots of other LAMS related projects on the board (pedagogical planner, LessonLAMS, etc).

So if you or anyone could help out and keeping track of changes in Moodle so we could use Moodle activities within LAMS, it will be very helpful for us all.

Thanks,

Ernie
